If the answer wasn’t clear before, it sure is now. The new 2023 Lexus NX was a formidable opponent but pales in comparison to the new 2023 Acura RDX. While the Acura RDX has a slightly higher starting MSRP, the difference is forgettable once you see all the features that come standard. Starting with the engine — the Acura RDX comes with a standard turbocharged engine, while the Lexus NX does not. The Acura RDX also has a 10-speed transmission, while its opponent only has an eight-speed transmission. The engine and transmission make the Acura RDX the better choice for drivers looking for a true power player. On the inside, the Acura RDX is a class apart from the Lexus NX. One of the most remarkable features that this model has is its standard panoramic moonroof (which is only available with a package upgrade on the Lexus NX). Also, the Acura RDX comes with a larger display screen size than the Lexus NX. And one of the biggest differences (at least for the driver) is that no matter where your journey takes you, comfort is inevitable with a standard 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat (not available on the Lexus NX). As for your baggage? No problem. The Acura RDX offers more cargo volume behind the first row than its competitor. As you can see, the new 2023 Acura RDX is an obvious choice when it comes to luxury SUVs. It has all the features you need for a luxurious journey and so much more. An impressive choice, indeed.
