I'm on my 3rd RX. Owned a 2003, traded it in on a 2010 & now have a 2017. They're great vehicles, comfy & smooth riding. Love mine.

I have a 2021 Lexus 350 RX and I like that I do not have to use premium fuel. In my area premium sells for over a dollar more per gallon than regular fuel. No more econoboxes for me. I'm sold on the Lexus brand.

I've owned a 2007 Acura MDX and currently drive a 2017 MDX Advance. I've also had a Lexus RX. Can't go wrong with either buy I prefer the sportier feel of the MDX and my 2007 MDX went 225, 000 miles with no problems. Could've driven that 2007 MDX for many more years.

I own the LEXUS ... and my brother-in-law is a top mechanic in the world based out of Japan who works on Toyota, Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini. He recommended LEXUS. After driving it for awhile .... I have to agree.

Thank you for the most comprehensive and straightforward comparison between these two fantastic SUV's, I'm leaning towards the RX 450h purchase next year as I currently own the 2021 RDX A-Spec which is sporty and fun to drive (but not as comfortable) I will use the 450h for long drives.

I own 2 rx. A 04 rx 330 and 2012 rx350. Nothing but oil and tires on each. The rx 330 has almost 200k miles and drives like its new. Just oil changes every 5k miles and timing belt every 90k.

This was an excellent review. I’m always torn between Acura and Lexus and have chosen Acura twice with no disappointments. Considering I’ll be needing 7 seats this helped make my decision for another Acura!

[greenbudkelly]

You completely ignored the Honda's timing belt, direct injection, and yet another new transmission. While Toyota stays with bullet proof timing chains, combination direct injection on top of port injection eliminating the carbon buildup problem, and very well proven Aisin transmissions.
These things don’t matter if you trade in 2-3 years. But if you buy at 80k or more and plan to run to 250k, these are very important factors.

I have a 2020 Lexus RX 450hL and I love it so much! It’s a dreamy ride. So quiet, so comfortable.

[asaadluaibi]

great review without boring music. excellent job

[Rubyred-rbfe]

I have the 1999 RX300...296k miles...oil changes only. You'll never regret it. Planning to buy a new one this year.

Great Review! I actually bought the 2022 MDX, was debating bw the lexus at the GLE, before I considered the MDX. Once I saw it I knew! The price was great and it's very comfortable. The standard panoramic sunroof would have cost me a fortune on the GLE! The MDX is a great vehicle! I would encourage anyone to take for a test drive! To see which one you like . Then buy! :-) ..( the sports edition was not for me!)

[andresamuel]

My aunt always had Lexus rx, until she said there were electrical issues with it, now she has a Kia Telluride, which stills shocks me

[chamorro]

I bought an MDX brand new back in 2017. Infotainment systems, quietness and safety features were a bit disappointing. I’ll gladly try this experiment again with a 2022 Type-S when it arrives.

[jonmcclure]

Just bought the 2022 MDX. Beats all the luxury SUV'S in every way. The RX 3rd row is a joke. TEST DROVE EVERYTHING AND MDX BLOWS THEM AWAY. PICK UP MY METALIC RED ONE MONDAY. ALL PAID FOR, LOVE HUGE STORAGE, SILENT INSIDE, GREAT DRIVE QUALITY, BIG SIX THAT NEEDS NO TURBO, AND STOPS ON A DIME. ALL NEW DESIGN INSIDE AND OUT! SO WELL THOUGHT OUT. GREAT JOB ACURA!

[golfhawk]

Had an Acura MDX back in 2006. Traded it in for a Honda Pilot in 2014. Now I am back in a 2020 MDX and really happy with it. Being able to haul around my family of six definitely came into play when choosing it.

[UncleTonyshotsauce]

Acura, Honda have a better performance winning 4 track races in a row, better technology, space, sound system.

[mywebname]

I drive MDX 2017 and will be upgrading at some point to the same model. The main feature that I love about MDX is lane assist, which is really great on longer trips. I tried many other SUVs and none of them have such a great lane assist (I have not driven Tesla but assume it has to have even better one).

[IFRSKIES]

I bought the 2022 MDX platinum elite after much research and the main reason was price, comparable luxury quality and the cargo space, when compared to the competition. My previous vehicle was a 2017 RDX which had a V6 and was a very reliable SUV. The new RDX 2021 is powered by a 272-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four. I agree with your comments on reliability for both Acura and Lexus and the naturally asperated 3.5 liter engine in the Acura MDX over a turbo charged 3 liter engine in the MDX Type S soon to be released. Great video, good comparison and advice. I just still can't take a liking to the Lexus grill.

[brianpiersol]

The RX350 has a chain drive timing that usually lasts the life of the engine while the MDX has a timing belt that needs changed= $$$ Just something to consider too.
