Engine Performance Comparison

The 2022 RDX gets one engine option for its entire lineup: the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, cranking out 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with a ten-speed automatic transmission to drive the standard Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive system, and you can control shifts through the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.


On the other hand, the 2022 MDX also gets one engine option across its trim levels, a 3.5-litre V6 engine with 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. Pairing with this V6 engine is the ten-speed automatic transmission which delivers power to the Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive system. When comparing both models, you will find that they share the same drivetrain, but they differ in engine performance. Although the MDX has slightly more horsepower, the RDX beats it in torque output, making the two models somewhat comparable in performance.


Safety & Technology Features Comparison

For safety features inside the RDX, you will have both active features and driver-assist technologies. The most notable features for safety in the RDX include Collision Mitigation Braking System, Forward Collision Warning System, Hill Start Assist, Lane Departure Warning System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Blind Spot Information System with Rear Cross-Traffic Monitor, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Traffic Sign Recognition. The RDX's most notable technology features include a head-up display, Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition, AcuraLink Subscription Services, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HomeLink remote system, Maintenace Minder, and surround-view camera system.


Just like the comfort and convenience features, the MDX adds more safety features on top of what's offered by the Acura RDX. Those additions include Collision Mitigation Braking System with Pedestrian Detection, Traffic Jam Assist, and low-speed braking control. When it comes to technology features inside the cabin, the MDX adds advanced offerings such as CabinTalk in-car PA, front and rear parking sensors, walk-away door lock, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and an ELS premium audio system.
