Not all drivers have the same wants and needs, and not all SUVs offer the same features. This is why it is so important to match the right vehicle to the right person. Acura’s 2022 model lineup includes two SUV choices designed for two different kinds of drivers. So which Acura SUV is right for you? We’re here to help you decide.
2022 Acura MDX
The Acura MDX is Acura’s bigger and bolder SUV. This three-row ride seats seven comfortably, and in addition to its added hip and shoulder room for front and rear passengers it includes 11 more cubic feet of cargo space than the RDX.
Not only is the 2022 MDX taller, longer and broader than the RDX, it sports a wider wheelbase and larger HD dual-content display. The 3.5-liter V6 engine churns out 290 horsepower, 267 ft∙lb of torque and can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
2021 Acura RDX
The Acura RDX is a more compact two-row SUV with seating for five. While smaller than its MDX sibling, the RDX makes wise use of its space by providing more than 29 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row alone.
Its 2.0 4-cylinder engine is still plenty athletic at 227 horsepower and offers an impressive 280 ft∙lb of torque, coming in a touch higher than the MDX despite its smaller size. The Acura RDX’s 1,500 pounds of towing capacity is perfect for hauling small trailers.
The more compact overall design of the RDX allows for nimble driving in tight spaces and easier city parking.
Deciding Which Acura SUV is Best For You
Both the Acura MDX and RDX come standard with similar safety and technology features along with crowd pleasing bells and whistles designed for luxury and convenience. (Both are 2021 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ winners.)
The MDX may be the better choice for a larger family that requires more passenger space or for the weekend adventurer looking to tow boats or campers.
Meanwhile, the RDX has the city commuter in mind who values agility and practicality all at a lower price.
