*The MDX is vastly superior, minus the touchpad. Better engine, better looks, better AWD. RX looks feminine and more efficient due to smaller engine and hybridization. Should compare TX with MDX instead.*
Recently purchased a 2022 MDX after doing a ton at homework, the real comparison would be an RX 350 L, dicontinued on 2022, still Acura inside is much better than the Lexus in my opinion
Had Acuras for 22 years service department told me I needed a $2000 repair that they didn’t have the parts for. I went to a local service shop who showed me the “repair” wasn’t necessary…called the Acura dealer, who has performed all services on all 5 Acura RLXs. No apologies from them, the GM or the regional office. Purchased a Lexus RX and wish I had done it sooner- great car, service and dealer experience!
Wow I'm sorry to hear about your previous experience with another brand, but happy to hear that you ended up in a Lexus!!
Was Acura reliable for you? Sometimes those car repair dealers are shady. I deal with that at infinit too
As I said I was a bona fide Acura owner but this car was a pos. Under the extended warranty the main computer, starter, rear shocks/struts, wiper motor and a front end component were all replaced at what would have been almost $8k in repairs. A neighbor of mine who was also a long term Acura owner recently switched to Lexus due to maintenance and dealer service…personally, my family and I are done with any Honda products so
Having the previous owners of both Lexus and Acuras. I can handle Lexus as far and above Acura in terms of customer service. That’s not to say that the service department it’s always good. It’s determined by the dealership.
That was a very fair comparison. I appreciate your honestly when comparing the two and pointing out pros and cons for both. Bravo. Thank you for confirming the Lexus is the SUV for me but I actually didn't need any convincing. LOVE the RX 500h F Sport which I am plan on upgrading from my NX 300 because it's just too small for me. That red interior in the RX is just gorgeous!
Thank you so much for saying that!! I'm definitely planning on doing more comparisons like this one soon! As for the RX 500H that is a great choice! I'm finding the trade values on NX 300 are still pretty good right now too, so that should work out in your favor as well!
Great unbiased review. Both vehicles are well built and you can’t go wrong either way. Comments regarding dealership experience would depend on just that, individual dealership and not the vehicle or manufacturer itself. Thank you!
The biggest difference for me was the Lexus has a horrible 4 cylinder engine that is not even luxury in refinement and sound, I was going to buy RX but I drove a few of them and could not get over it, also same with the 500h, which is a lot more expensive, what a huge mistake by Lexus to get rid of the excellent V6 in favor of this horrible power plant.
1-2 years and Honda drop to 4 cylinder as well hybrid or turbo. EPA regulations- manufacturers can’t do anything. If v 6 in Honda have engine management system and cylinder deactivation it’s not good engine. Otherwise Acura looks better and think it’s bigger. But in other hand Lexus/Toyota sells way more vehicles then Honda/ Acura.
Great video and nice see you today. The white rx is very nice.
Thanks for the continued support!! I love the bike in your picture as well!
Acura for men
Lexus for moms
Both are bought by soccer moms no? Demographic split by wealth is probably a better indicator than split by gender.
I'd be interested to see if the Acura dealer/service experience is a good as Lexus. Another consideration would be resale value. I have to say I like the interior roominess of the Acura.
I've had Acuras and currently own a Lexus. Dealership experience from Lexus is way better than Acura's. Not saying Acura's service is bad. And resale value, again Lexus takes it. Great brands and cars but Lexus is a few steps ahead I would say. No experience with infiniti.
Great video and I am glad you are not out here bashing your competition. Always liked the RX but hard to swallow that the top trim 500h does not offer an air suspension, massaging seats, and 16 way adjustable seats. I have those in my MDX Type S and could never go back to a standard steel spring suspension again
not mention the MDX Type S has a 3rd row of seating and sounds a lot better with the turbo V6.
Thanks for saying that and for watching!! I do appreciate the competing brands and try to stay unbiased. I DO ALSO WISH that we had massaging seats and air ride in the RX as well! Maybe Lexus will add those later on!
Can you please compare the RX vs Genesis GV?
@PerformanceLexusNiagara Dustin great comparison my 22 mdx is up this Dec 2024 planning to get the new GX from all the great reviews on youtube can I get the overtrail tires n wheels to fit Premium Plus with no issue. I want the look with 3 row seating thank you Dustin, highway miles only this will be my first Lexus
Thank you for that!! By all means feel free to reach out to me anytime to talk about GX! You are more than welcome to email me at Dustin.mason@performance.ca
That MDX 👌
I would go with Lexus if I wanted to go hybrid or plug-in hybrid since Acura doesn't my any hybrids since the 17-20 MDX Sport Hybrid. I had 4 cylinder turbos before and real life mpgs are lower because of needing to turbo boost to make power living +5000 feet.
These were two of my top five in a recent purchase. After much debate, test drives and comparisons.... The lexus was the first to fall. I chose a 2024 MDX type S. The lexus held zero competition to my MDX even after options added. Not even close Lexus.
I like both but having a family (Room) have to go with the Acura. Especially if we are looking at the v6 turbo.
Great Review Dustin !!! 👍😎 Both Are Absolutely Gorgeous !!! However , Lexus Reliability keeps Me Loyal to the Brand ♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
Thanks for the continued support!
I test drove both, picked MDX. Perhaps RX next time.
I wish they can trim the edges of the Acura grill to look kida oval
MDX all the way for the SH AWD and V6 NA engine and much much lower insurance lol
Acura
Currently own an RDX. For the most part, we love it. But... we'd never buy another Acura because of the infotainment system. It's terrible. The touch pad is hot garbage. Incredibly difficult to use on the fly. Until they change the infotainment, we're looking elsewhere for our next vehicle.
I need your advice sir, what did you think of a Lexus Rx 350 fsport 2021/2022 model vs Range Rover 2018/2020 model, which SUV should I buy Sir
lexus
Me personally would go for the RX 350 for sure! I do really like some of the Range rovers, but they do depreciate quite quickly for some reason which makes me nervous. Either one is a great choice that I'm sure you will love, however my vote would be the RX FSport!
@@PerformanceLexusNiagara thank you very much, am buying the 2022 rx350 maximum 20,000 mileage
Range Rovers are endless money pits. If you want to make friends with your mechanic that is the car for you.
You can see the size and you know Lexus has narrow space than MDX. You get more to MDX than Lexus. Well it’s up to you what your cup of tea you drink. And Lexus only a 5 seater and am Lexus RX with 4cylinder makes me run and go with MDX!
I test drove a MDX fully loaded before buying the Lexus. I loves the removable seat and the cargo space in the trunk. What turned me off was the non hybrid option and how poor fuel economy I would get. If Acura had the MDX hybrid I would have probably gotten one. I did buy the Rx hybrid.
@@juanmateus8560 Yeah MDX redesigned the 2022 onwards and it became heavier,spacious than the older gen ,so its given it will affect mileage..for sure they will address that with incoming update in 2025 model year. I’m not into hybrid and I don’t worry much with gas mileage…hybrid car don’t have the feeling of engagement for me and probably expensive to repair later on compared to traditional engine set up. I’m heavy footed too and wanting a more spirited driving and hybrid system for me won’t be advantageous as probably I won’t use the system efficiently. Over all I’m happy with our Aspec ‘22..so comfortable ride in long drive and yet rewarding if you push it around and the suspension was so engaging knowing its a heavy SUV.
💯
The acura suspension is way more refine and advanced, instead the lexus still use steel vs aluminum. But drivetrain I will take the lexus anyday over the antique honda v6 with a timing belt.
Thanks for the details! Yes I know what you mean about the suspension in the MDX! Thanks for watching!
I learned all about belts and chains today, so thank you for your comment. It sounds like either can fail, but most do not have to worry about it till after 100,000 miles. I learn so much from the comments. th-cam.com/video/c0aLN4PbCzw/w-d-xo.html
I wouldn't care if the car lasts if you are buying in this price range.@@tomaskroupakkfoto4132
That antique V6 with timing belt will outrun any turbo charged Toyota.
MDX is more of a drivers car with SHAWD...but the stupid push button shifter would be a deal breaker for me. Otherwise they both do same things well.
I have the 2024 MDX Advanced and surprisingly I was good with the shifter in about 3 days. It's a beautiful car. I had a Lexus ES350 for 8 years, so it was hard to leave Lexus when I wanted to move to an SUV. Driving a V6 versus a 4 cylinder is night and day, and that is why I bought an the Acura.
Pretty much all vehicles have drive by wire shifters. Acura just realized it is more realistic having buttons for more space compared to fake shifter that does exact same function.
You forgot to mention about the best AWD system ever created, SHAWD. Feel free to compare it to SAWD/Subaru or Quattro/Audi.
It is not as capable as the Subaru or the Audi.
As long as I am thinking about that terrible transmission from Honda I used to have.... thank you, I am done with it.
Use to have
Used
I prefer MDX
Maaaaan! A C U R A!
70k wtf. ill buy em when they are around 25k in 2 years😂
Lexus has the best resale value. Won't be even remotely close to 25k in 2 years...not even 5 years. RX 350 would still be at 65% value in 5 years.
The New Lexus Rx350 500 looks smaller to me.
Hmm it could be the front end for sure!
I had a lexus now i wanna get an acura but now i dont know if i wanna do tjat should i go back to the lexus????!!! 😢
A
Lexus
That's exactly why I didn't get the MDX. No hybrid option. I actually liked the MDX more than the Rx but the no hybrid option was a deal breaker. Went with the Rx.
I like the RX but will get the MDX. The RX is going to get stolen in no time!
This owner of 4 mdx vehicles, is going over the lexus side, why....... hybrid. Acura has refused to give me it as an opinion
Hybrid is definitely the hot topic in our lineup these days for sure! Thanks for watching!
Same here. I own a 19 MDX Sport Hybrid and probably switch to Lexus if Acura still skips a hybrid option in the next 3-5 years.
Rx better
A three row vs a two row? The NX actually has more interior space than the RX, look it up!
The rear of the lexus looks like a woman's car to me.
the entire car looks woman
Lexus RX was one of the best in its segment, but after turning into a 2.4L shitbox engines I just ignored them just like they do not exist anymore.
