2025 Lexus RX Exterior

Are you in the market for a luxury midsize SUV? If so, allow us at Pohanka Acura to show you how the 2025 Acura MDX compares to one of its competitors, a 2024 Lexus RX. Once you see the disparity in terms of performance, quality, and toolkits, it’ll be clear that the former is a far better option. Contact us to schedule a test drive today!

Performance

In a direct comparison of the base trims, the Acura outperforms the Lexus. The former has a standard 3.5L V6 with an output of 290 horsepower1 and 267 lb.-ft. of torque. Meanwhile, the 2024 Lexus RX is equipped with a standard 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder that creates 275 horsepower2 and 317 lb.-ft. of torque2. Another element to consider is the drivetrain available on each, and the 2025 Acura MDX brings a standard 10-speed automatic transmission with sequential sportshift paddle shifters. Meanwhile, the 2024 RX only has a standard 8-speed automatic Electronically Controlled Transmission with Intelligence, but it does also have paddle shifters. You’ll find more options to improve your car’s handling in Falls Church with the Acura’s available SH-AWD on its base trim. The Lexus only comes with FWD in a standard configuration, making it less prepared to drive on the area’s snow-covered roads during winter. 

Interior

The 2025 Acura MDX succeeds in providing a more comfortable driving experience than its competitor in this case. It arrives bearing a standard 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support while offering leatherette upholstery. The 2024 Lexus RX only includes a standard 8-way power-adjustable captain’s chair with NuLuxe® interior trim. People who enjoy going on drives with their friends and family members to West End Park will also choose the Acura because it has a standard 7-person seating capacity across three rows. Meanwhile, the Lexus can only carry five people in the front and rear. As one may expect, the 2025 Acura MDX surpasses the 2024 Lexus RX in terms of available cargo space, providing 71.4 cubic ft. of space3 behind the first row compared with 46.2 cubic ft.4 granted by the latter. 

Technology 

When you test drive one of these luxury midsize SUVs one after the other, you’ll notice that the Acura has more of what you want in terms of tech. The standard 12.3-inch color touchscreen makes it easier to set up your driving tools compared to the Lexus Interface5 standard 9.8-inch touchscreen. Both vehicles integrate standard wireless Apple CarPlay®6,7 and Android Auto™8,9 capabilities, but the Lexus arrives with 12 standard speakers compared to the 11-speaker Acura Premium Audio System. Yet, the standard Google built-in10 capability is only available for the 2025 Acura MDX, offering navigation and entertainment elements that you can’t get anywhere else. Knowing about the possibilities brought by this Acura, make sure you stop by our dealership location to get behind the wheel of one today.
