This is by far the best comparison ever on this channel

If you like driving over comfort, rdx definitely is the one. If you prefer soft seats and suspension, the nx is the way to go.

Great review! I just bought the RDX aspec and I love it. Blue outside and red interior 😊

RDX for space and performance
NX for fuel economy and comfort
Edit: NX got a lot of recalls for electrical defect.

I bought the Acura RDX 2020 in 08/2019. I looked long and hard at both the RDX and the Lexus NX 350 before buying my 2020 Acura RDX. I had all of my 3 teenage kids sit in the back of each car for 10 minutes before deciding which one to get.
I have 3 kids in high school, and with them being 5-8, 5-10, 6-0, I really have found the extra few inches in the second row a big benefit on trips around town the last 2.5 yrs.
When we got 8" of snow earlier this year, and when I had to go to work, the SH-AWD saved the day.

One of the reason why people would buy Japanese over German is reliability. Let's not forget that Lexus's reliability is proven and better than any other car brands out there. I would go for NX for that reason and the design of Lexus is more sleek in my opinion.

[BalladSelections]

Comparison is good. Reliability wise, I’ll keep my NX all day.

I love my 2022 RDX A-SPEC, bought after test driving 5 similar competitor models. Tho they all were solid driving, the RDX just felt better and stronger on the road.

I recently just bought the 2022 RDX, and I love it! I went back and forth between it and the NX & RX 350, but my heart just rested with Acura since I've always loved their vehicles. I personally think the interior details and aesthetics of the RDX are much more appealing than the Lexus; however, they're both amazing vehicles. My RDX drives and looks amazing! I also think the RDX has more cargo space as well. You won't lose with either!

Great comparison. I bought the 1st gen NX when it came out. I loved how it looked, but it was a real snoozefest to drive...at least it looked great in the atomic silver color with red interior. I kept it just a year and traded it for a Mercedes GLC. Now I am in the new RDX ASpec/Advance exactly like the one in this review. I love the way this vehicle handles and the power is great. The SH-AWD with torque vectoring is wonderful and makes this thing so confident on the road. So many reviews pan the infotainment system, which I found to be completely intuitive to learn and use once I surpassed the learning curve, and I am 66 years old.

To be fair, I did not test the new NX with all of its improvements. The price has increased considerably over just last year. I did drive the GV70, both the 4 cyl and 6 cyl. I thought the 4 cyl sounded harsh during acceleration by comparison to the 6 cyl, which was way more power than I needed for my mostly urban driving. I am pleased with my RDX.

I’d choose the Acura, looks more solid.

[johnnybyup]

Acura RDX all the way for me. Interior layout and quality, exterior looks, truck space, and drive modes have the edge over the Lexus in my opinion.

[patricioolmedo]

I’d take the RDX, but the NX is also a solid choice

[nabi]

I rented and drove both the RDX and NX for full day... For me it was hands down RDX as I felt it had the better performance

[mat]

Personally, Other than for the infotainment system I prefer the Acura, especially in apex blue.

[igeekone]

I love the tech of the Lexus but the Acura is more fun to drive with Super Handling AWD. I just can't get used to their trackpad infotainment. Acura needs to give it a touchscreen.

[fjg]

The more user-friendly infotainment system in the Lexus makes it my choice.

[mrgold]

Always been an Acura fan with the sporty driving dynamics and sh-awd. Never really touch the info-tainment once it is set other than volume or source select (mostly using steering wheel controls for that). Acura just needs to bring back a hybrid and/or plug-in RDX version, just add a touch screen, and provide more options with trim materials to go in luxury or sport directions (less piano black stuff). I would go for a RDX Aspec Adv hybrid to add to my 19 MDX Sport Hybrid Adv.

[enabulujames]

You can't go wrong with either of them, but I will go with the Acura. Acura should push their presence more in Africa like Lexus is done or done.One love from Nigeria.🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Compared these 2 vehicles for months but when I test drove both, I bought the RDX instead and really happy with the car. The lexus is nice but the RDX had the better ride quality for me.
