The Acura RDX certainly has you covered in this regard. The model’s 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine can provide you with as much as 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
Whether you’re running quick errands or embarking on an extended road trip, it’s important to know that the vehicle you’ve chosen as your companion can take on any challenge that comes your way.
| Acura RDX Engine | Lexus NX Engine | |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder | 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder | |
| 272 horsepower | 235 horsepower | |
| 280 lb-ft of torque | 258 lb-ft of torque |
Unfortunately, the engine offered in the Lexus NX is unable to top the output you’ll get from the RDX. While it can match the efficiency of the 2021 RDX, its standard 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine can only get up to 235 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
With both SUVs, you can get an available all-wheel drive system that helps provide even better stability. This is extremely helpful when the roads become slippery and you need that extra traction to stay in control.
The available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system in the 2021 RDX provides great handling even when road conditions aren’t a concern. That is because it is continuously sending engine power to the wheels that need it based on weight distribution and driver input.
That means you’ll feel even more confident and in tune with your RDX as you drive. This system makes following the turn of tight curves a more effortless feat and ensures you always have the right amount of grip, so you’re always smoothly and safely accelerating forward.
One of the first things you and your passengers are sure to notice when you get inside the Acura RDX is its comfortable interior. You’ll have the room to shuttle your kids and their friends to the movies or champion your turn for the office carpool.
Some of those generous measurements include 40 inches of headroom and 60 inches of shoulder room in the front seats, and 38 inches of legroom and 57 inches of shoulder room in the back seats.
| Acura RDX Interior | Lexus NX Interior | |
|---|---|---|
| 40 inches of front headroom | 38.2 inches of front headroom | |
| 60 inches of front shoulder room | 57.3 inches of front shoulder room | |
| 38 inches of rear legroom | 36.1 inches of rear legroom | |
| 57 inches of rear shoulder room | 55.3 inches of rear shoulder room |
In comparison, the Lexus NX doesn’t provide quite as much wiggle room. In the front, its headroom only comes to 38.2 inches, and its shoulder room also falls short at 57.3 inches. The same can be said about its second row. In the back seats the legroom is 36.1 inches and the shoulder room is just 55.3 inches.
