September 28 2021,
The Lexus RX lineup has much to offer. It encompasses the best in terms of style and efficiency, with superior performance to go with it. The RX offer more choice and packages than its rivals, making it an ideal vehicle for your family. Moreover, the RX is proudly manufactured here in Canada.
Here, we compare the 2022 Lexus RX to the 2022 Acura MDX.
Advanced technologies and efficiency in the 2022 Lexus RX
Under the hood of the Lexus RX, you will find the best in terms of performance and efficiency. Two powerful, yet very efficient powertrains are offered and they both combine refinement and capabilities. The RX 350 models get a 3.5 L V6 with an output of 295 horsepower, which provides the driver with plenty of power. The Acura MDX also gets a 3.5 Litre V6, but this one falls short with only 290 horsepower.
The other available powertrain is the self-charging hybrid RX 450h, which is equipped with the Lexus Hybrid Drive. It includes an Atkinson cycle 3.5L V6 engine, which is paired with powerful electric motors and a precise continuously variable transmission. These state-of-the-art elements combine to provide 308 net horsepower paired with an outstanding fuel efficiency of 7.9L / 100km city/highway combined. For comparison, the MDX’s V6 uses 12.3L/100km city/9.4 highway for a 10.8 L/100km combined rating.
Acura says that the MDX will soon have a Type S variant with slightly more power the 450h, but this model’s availability is still uncertain as it is still in the “future vehicles” of Acura’s website.
The 2022 Lexus RX gives drivers more choice and refinement
A selection of 17 model and trim configurations is offered with the 2022 Lexus RX lineup. It includes short wheelbase models as well as the three-row RX 350 L and RX 450h L, letting drivers choose which RX is the best for their needs. This is much more flexible and complete than the Acura MDX’s offer.
The Lexus RX lineup has so much more to offer than the MDX in terms of style, too, thanks to unique craftsmanship paired with original designs Acura cannot compete with.
