![]() ![]() ![]() The smaller of our two contenders handily wins the overall fuel economy race but both are surprisingly equal while cruising the open road. Both cars are recommended to swill premium 91 octane fuel. Adding power to all four wheels subtracts a single mpg from the latter figure, but curiously not the city.īottom Line: It would appear that the vitamin-packed youth carries the day, producing nearly as much power as its larger and older sibling but in a smaller package. Ignoring the Type S, front-wheel drive versions are rated by the EPA at 19 mpg in city driving and 26 mpg on the highway. Both engines use the same 10-speed automatic transmission as found in the RDX. Power is up to 355 hp, with a stout 354 lb-ft of torque. The exception is the hotter Type S, which slots an Acura-exclusive 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 behind that diamond grille. Most every model comes with the familial 3.5-liter V6 engine, spitting out 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. When it comes to cargo capacity however, the MDX is more commodious in every measure thanks to a larger footprint.Īcura MDX: With this latest version of the MDX, Acura has dropped the hybrid model. However, the smaller Acura isn’t exactly a pipsqueak, and the RDX may actually be the better choice for couples or families whose numbers do not exceed four. Folding that seat opens things up to the tune of 48.4 cubes, while a cavernous 95.0 cubic feet of space stands at the ready if all seats behind the driver and front seat passenger are stowed.īottom Line: If hauling more than five people is a frequent task, the MDX will suit the task if those relegated to the third row are not of NBA stature. Behind the third row, and using the tricksy Honda measurements, owners will be able to pack 18.1 cubic feet of gear. Passenger volume is 132 cubic feet.Įvery version of the Acura MDX offers the same amount of cargo space, regardless of the number of driven wheels. The Acura RDX is a best-selling crossover with two rows, and its nimble handling and sporty. Legroom is about the same in the front and middle seating areas but falls to an elf-like 29.0 inches in the third row. There are two SUV choices in the Acura lineup: the RDX and the MDX. Middle- and third-row noggin space is on par with the RDX’s back seat. Acura MDX: Perhaps surprisingly, the larger MDX has slightly less headroom for front passengers than the RDX (38.5 inches), so make sure to take an extended test drive before signing on the dotted line. ![]()
