2019 Acura RDX vs 2019 Lexus NX near Smyrna, DE
Prized for their exceptional interiors and inspiring performance, luxury compact SUVs are some of the most highly-sought vehicles on the road. However, if you’re looking for one that just about tops them all, give some serious thought to taking home the 2019 Acura RDX! Though the team here at Price Acura already believes that the RDX is something special, we understand that you might need some evidence to be convinced. That’s why we’re pitting this Acura against the 2019 Lexus NX!
Technology
When you’re driving down Route 13, you need a vehicle that’s ready to meet your expectations. For your satisfaction, the 2019 RDX is prepared to be your loyal companion! Do you put a premium on top-notch sound quality? If so, then you’ll definitely want to treat yourself to the considerable abilities of the available 16-speaker Acura/ELS Studio 3D®1 Premium Audio system! To compare, the greatest number of speakers you can access in the Lexus NX is just ten. In addition, the RDX also implements technology to keep you cozy on the road, as evidenced by the optional GPS-linked climate control system2, which adjusts the temperature based off the sun’s relative position. Unfortunately, you won’t find a feature like this in the SUV from Lexus.
Comfort & Capacity
Sticking with the interior, let’s compare how these two vehicles plan to keep you and your guests comfortable. When you assume command of the 2019 Acura RDX, you won’t have much trouble finding an accommodating position, thanks to the standard 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. This might not be as easy to accomplish in the 2019 Lexus NX, as it only provides a standard 10-way power driver’s seat. Meanwhile, rear-seat passengers in this SUV might feel cramped in the underwhelming 36.1 inches of rear legroom. Thankfully, the Acura has you covered with a generous 38.0 inches of second-row legroom. Plus, you’ll have an easier time storing cargo with 29.5 cubic ft. of space3 provided behind the second row, compared to the 25.5 cubic ft. of room4 in the Lexus.
Performance
We know you’re anxious to learn about how these luxury rides perform, so let’s pop the hoods and take a look at what powers them! In fact, both the Acura RDX and Lexus NX feature a 2.0L turbo engine at their hearts, although this is about where the similarities end. With the Lexus, you’ll only have 235-hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque at your disposal. On the other hand, the RDX cranks out a stellar 272-hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque to keep your daily drives fun and exciting! Moreover, this system is matched up with an 8-speed automatic transmission to ensure that things stay lively and responsive. Equipped with just a 6-speed automatic transmission, the same can’t be said for the 2019 NX.
So, who do you think was the winner between the 2019 Acura RDX vs 2019 Lexus NX near Smyrna, DE? If you’re like us, then you’ll agree that the RDX is the superior luxury SUV! Price Acura would love for you to test one out today, so come and visit us at 4585 S. DuPont Highway in Dover, DE, soon.

Customer Testimonials





“ The recent purchase of a used Hyundai was our first experience with this dealership - a most favorable one - from beginning to end. Keith went the extra mile in delivering the vehicle which was for our granddaughter. Upon leaving the business office, our granddaughter was handed the keys. She approached her car and saw it decked out with balloons, huge bow on the hood, and red carpet by the driver's door. All of this was done for her by Keith because it was her birthday. Keith was courteous, friendly and extremely thoughtful.. He made our granddaughter's day special. ”

“ My salesman was Rafael ! And if you go to Price Acura please ask for him! He gave me the best customer service that I’ve ever experienced! I work in a restaurant as a server and I know how it is to give great service! And he blew it out of the waters. Very knowledgeable about cars , super friendly , and a hard worker! Great company overall! And most importantly I love my car. ”
Customer Testimonials





“ I would highly recommend Price Acura. My service department experience far exceeded my expectations. Colleen Consalo provided the best customer service I have experienced in all the years of having my vehicles serviced at any dealer. I moved from Virginia where my vehicles were maintained by the local Acura dealer and the service was outstanding. This experience was superior. Having to drive from Harbeson, I will will make the hour drive for future maintenance needs ”

“ Keith Wenck sold my husband and I a beautiful used truck! Keith was well informed, patient, friendly and so easy to work with. Thank you! We will definitely return to Price Acura the next time we are in the market for a vehicle. ”
Customer Testimonials





“ We had an excellent experience with Price today. Jason Blendowski was an exceptional salesman, and from his first greeting until we said goodbye we felt he had our best interests at heart. His manner was professional, yet also friendly which put us at ease. He was efficient and informative, inspiring trust in the company, as well. At no time did we feel as if we were being misled or pushed into a sale. We went there with the intent of only looking at a specific car, but because of Jason, ended up buying the car, very satisfied with our purchase. We also had a good experience with Jim, in the financial transaction. He too balanced efficiency and professionalism with a friendly, easy manner. Our hats go off to you! ”
