When you’re looking for a luxury SUV that’s packed with features and lets you cruise the Bossier Strip in Bossier City in style, Orr Acura in Shreveport, LA is a good place to start. Acura offers two SUVs, the two-row crossover RDX and the three-row MDX, a full-size SUV. While it might seem like a no-brainer that the larger, pricier MDX would be the outright winner, things aren’t always as they seem. Let’s take a look at both luxury SUVs and see which one wins out.
Power and Performance
Both the Acura RDX and MDX have hardworking engines up for the task whether you’re headed to Missisippi by way of Minden or you’re going down south to Baton Rouge or New Orleans. The RDX has a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that pumps out 272 horsepower. Meanwhile, the MDX features a V-6 engine with 290 horsepower. While it’s not quite as powerful as the MDX, the 2021 Acura RDX has faster acceleration and slightly better fuel economy.
Interior and Safety
Both SUVS offer ample room for up to five large adults. The MDX is a bit fancier, offering genuine leather to the RDX’s synthetic. The larger MDX also wins out, naturally, on cargo space. It provides 68.4 cubic feet of space with the seats folded down. The RDX isn’t far behind, though, with 58.9 cubic feet. Both luxury SUVs come with the same set of safety features, which includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and forward automatic emergency braking.
