2017 Acura RDX vs 2017 Lexus NX 200t near Washington, DC

2017 Acura RDX vs 2017 Lexus NX 200t near Washington, DC

The 2017 RDX is Filled with Tech!The Cabin of the Acura RDX is Luxurious

Small crossovers offer a plethora of benefits thanks to their compact size, but with the segment getting so crowded, it can be difficult to make a sure decision. We at Pohanka Acura love to put our vehicles to the test, so we’ve put together this comparison of the 2017 Acura RDX vs the 2017 Lexus NX 200t near Washington, DC, to lend a helping hand.

You want more room for five than the typical sedan but don’t want to be driving around some mammoth SUV – that’s how we end up in the small crossover section, and the engine is a large part of the appeal. The RDX is powered by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC® V6 engine that generates an incredible 276 horsepower and 252 lb.-ft. of torque for your driving pleasure. On the other hand, the NX 200t only provides 235 horsepower from its 2.0-liter in-line 4 turbocharged powertrain, and only provides a matching fuel efficiency of 28 MPG hwy1. It seems like you’re sacrificing power to not get anything in return – and that’s never fun.

Continuing on with our comparison between the 2017 Acura RDX vs the 2017 Lexus NX 200t near Washington, DC, there are a whole slew of differences that will skew your opinion. While the NX does provide a backup camera2, it doesn’t offer the kind of advanced technology that the RDX does. The Multi-View Rear Camera3 can be displayed on the available 8-inch touchscreen and offers a regular view behind the RDX, as well as a wide-angle 170-degree perspective to see approaching vehicles from the left and right, and a top-down view that makes parallel parking second nature.

We’re not going to say that it’s all in the name, but we will say that the ELS Surround® Premium 10-Speaker Sound System4 was designed with help from Grammy® award-winning recording engineer and producer Elliot Scheiner – and it certainly shows. With two tweeters, two rear surround, and one power-8-inch subwoofer, you’ll enjoy concert-quality music wherever you go. The Lexus NX 200t can’t boast such an accolade of its speakers, which are self-named with the word “premium” following.

We think there’s a pretty clear winner of this comparison between the 2017 Acura RDX vs the 2017 Lexus NX 200t near Washington, DC. The RDX has more horsepower, better technology, and higher-end speakers to its name. What are you waiting for? Head on over to Pohanka Acura, located at 13911 Lee Jackson Hwy in Chantilly, VA, to test drive the RDX for yourself. We hope to see you soon!
