The 2021 Acura RDX VS The Competition
A Side-By-Side Comparison - See Why the 2021 Acura RDX Dominates the Competition
With impeccable Acura craftsmanship and comfortable, spacious seating for five people, it's easy to see why drivers from Denver to Aurora, CO prefer the 2021 Acura RDX when the time comes to choose a new luxury SUV. At Mile High Acura, where this model is one of the most popular styles we carry, we know you have options, but we're here to explain everything that sets our luxury SUV apart from the similarly sized competition.
- Power. When it comes to getting you safely up to highway speeds and delivering a responsive, smooth level of performance that drivers love, the 2021 Acura RDX comes out ahead of the similar model from Lexus. While the Lexus NX offers various powertrains depending on the trim variation you choose, none are equal to the power and output from the Acura. Every 2021 Acura RDX gets its standard power from a 272-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the Lexus models start with just 203 horsepower from their base option, the Lexus NX 250. Stepping up to the Lexus NX 300 will increase power to 235 horsepower, but it's still not enough to overpower the Acura SUV.
- Cargo. Whether you enjoy camping, shopping, or golfing, the Acura RDX can help you do more of what makes you happy. With the Lexus NX, you can expect a cargo hold of just 17.7 cubic feet behind the backseats. But with the 2021 Acura RDX, rear cargo space expands to a nice 31.1 cubic feet.
- Space. Not only does the 2021 Acura RDX give you more space for your gear than the Lexus NX, but it also has more space for your passengers to stretch out in than the Lexus. Look for extra headroom, shoulder room, rear seat elbow room, and backseat legroom in our Acura model when compared next to the Lexus.
- Seating. Long road trips across country or short jaunts across Centennial, CO, both are easy and comfortable with the 2021 Acura RDX by your side. In two rows for five people, you can look forward to more space to stretch your legs in the Acura model over the INFINITI QX50. In fact, our SUV has more than two inches of extra front seat legroom, and more backseat legroom, than the competing SUV has.
- Features. From safety features to technology, the 2021 Acura RDX also has more of the amenities that Littleton, CO drivers are looking for than the competition. For example, in terms of safety engineering, every Acura model in this collection gets standard adaptive cruise control, while the INFINITI does not. Additionally, our Acura SUV gets standard heated front seats across the lineup, which is only listed as an option for the QX50.
- Performance. Finally, look for more power and engaging performance out of the 2021 Acura RDX compared to the INFINITI QX50. While both have standard power from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the 2021 Acura RDX has 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The QX50 tops out at 268 horsepower. Additionally, where the INFINITI gets a standard continuously variable automatic transmission, the Acura model gets a smooth 10-speed automatic.
