We cross shooed these two & the Acura RDX came out on top. It’s nice, quick, fuel efficient, comes with more standard features at a similar price, and actually has a large usable sized interior.
@@MrSamPhoenix Is it really fuel efficient? I’m about to buy one I had to choose between the Lexus and the Acura but I owned and Acura RDX and I never had problems. Thank you for the comment because I was wondering if this Acura was fuel efficient 👍
@@mariocajas1130 The RDX turbo 2.0L is super efficient. So long as you’re not digging into the throttle all the time and drive sensibly. I regularly get 25mpg average in mixed city/highway driving. The other thing I love is how easy it is to work on. I changed the transmission fluid, engine oil, spark ⚡️ plugs, engine air filter, cabin air filter without issue. The car has been driven up north and back down south… it’s a beast!
Comparing the NX350 F-Sport would be the better comparison. Seems like you have a lower trim NXh vs a A Spec RDX. A few things to note: There is remote start functionality on the key fob. Press the lock button 4 times and it will remote start. They do offer electronic folding back seats in higher trims if you feel that you don't like where they have the lever. There are heated rear seats offered in higher trims as well. Heads up display is offered in higher trims. The shifter is the same to the original Prius offered 20 years ago - yes it's not the same as other shifters, but many it's not the first vehicle with the same shifter style. Not sure why you say the plugin hybrid soon it will be available as it's been available a year ago This generation NX was redesigned in 2022 and not 2023.
RDX any day. It’s much more competitive than the dressed up rav4 😂 The nx cannot hold any candle to it’s competitors including this RDX. Heck it even loses badly to a Mazda cx5 or cx50
@@adriannalundasan7570 the Rdx is not based off a CRV platform. It may be the same size but that doesn’t mean they’re the same The platform the Rdx rides on is not shared with a civic or CRV or accord. It’s unique to Acura. If the platform was exactly the same the Rdx would use the CRV 1.5 turbo and cvt combo.
dressed up rav4 is honestly a compliment not an insult, how can anything be better than BY FAR the best selling SUV on the market??? well guess what that's what the NX is
I would take the Lexus, I like the looks better, that green is amazing. The easier infotainment is a huge deal for me, and it also gets better fuel economy, I don't think sportiness is a huge priority in this segment but the RDX definitely takes the cake for that one. The NX doesn't handle bad just not as good as the RDX, but I think it makes up for it in other places. Just like you said the Lexus offers a heads-up display and heated rear seats, you just have to option it one by one Ultimately you can't go wrong with either one, both are really good SUVs. Keep up the good work Sam, loving the back-to-back reviews
I was shopping for both and ended up with the RDX in Aspec blue pearl, with no regrets. Love this car. And no one mentions how good the stereo is! 3d ELS is underrated!!
I’m biased because my wife has a 2022 NX 350h. I like it more than the RDX. The RDX obviously has better performance and handling, but I don’t like its tech or center stack. It’s in dire need of an update. This is coming from a guy who drives and thoroughly enjoys his 2023 Acura MDX Type S Advance.
Thanks for the great review. I can tell one thing, after using rotary or touch pad, never wanna touch that screen on Lexus, very distracting…. Both are great cars, all depends on your driving style and gas money wallet…
I agree with you the RDX was my choice mine is the 2021 Aspec, love the performance,handling also a owner of a 2017 mustang GT no magnaride for my model only on the Advance. For the 2022 model it was standard on the Aspec maybe. Great content 😎👍💪🇨🇦
While I like the Lexus, I feel like the interior is caving in on me at 6 feet tall. You are correct in that the seat is positioned too high. I find this to be the case in most Toyota/ Lexus crossovers and cars. I have lowered the seat all the way down in every vehicle and my head only has less than 2" from hitting the roof. I'm looking at the headliner out the windshield. Just feels cramped for me. Wish I was just a little shorter as I would 100% buy the Lexus. Guess I'm relegated to a Highlander hybrid. Didn't want to buy a boat but it is what it is.
Same. I test drove both the NX and the RDX. In the NX my head hit the visor while I was getting in the car. Given, someone shorter must have sat in the car before me but this has never happened to me in any other vehicle. The RDX immediately feels more roomy. I also don't like being nickled and dimed like Lexus likes to do. I did like the feel of Lexus but didn't like how loud it was inside the vehicle. At the moment, it seems the RDX is going to be my next vehicle.
I just finishing shopping for a new SUV and was deciding between these two. They were both great vehicles but the inside cabin made the decision for me. I’m 5’7” and felt cramped in the Lexus so I got the RDX Aspec Adv. Love it!
Great video! Awesome music, video motion and content coverage. This was a very necessary comparo as this is a red hot segment. Both very nice vehicles!
Hi I think the NX you had was pretty low spec other than the 14 inch touch screen. Go up the spec and you get power fold rear seat backs, heated rear seats, heads up display, Mark Levinson stereo and far nicer wheels. Plus remote start, self park. you can even park it remotely from outside the vehicle with the app, useful in a very tight garage space.
great video, and shot in my neighbourhood too! Coincidentally, I will be going with the NX350h when it comes to replacing my 2016 RDX. The 2023 RDX would be my second choice. No other vehicles really interest me on the SUV side of things.
I ordered the NX350 F-Sport. Have yet to play around with it, but one thing that I didn’t think of before purchasing the car was how annoying it’s going to be to explain to people how to get in and out of the car as well as how to use the shift knob. This especially true when you have to take out for maintenance/repairs. Technology is great and all, but it can also be too much. Anyways, I’m still excited for it to arrive! :)
Even though the Acura has an ancient touchpad and gets disappointing MPG on premium fuel I would still go with the RDX. I don't like front grill design on the Lexus and find it polarizing. Also the Lexus uses the same platform as the 4 year old Toyota RAV4 while the Acura"s platform was designed specifically for the RDX. The NX comes with run flat tires that tend to be noisier and expensive to replace.
I’ve cross shopped both of these models. I chose the NX350H (hybrid). Purchase price was only slightly more than the optioned out RDX I built…. but the residual value at the end of a 3 year lease was much higher on the NX….. which is indicative of the resale value. On top of that… the difference in mileage was over 10mpg. It was an easy decision for me.
Resale value is not indicative of performance. You said it, you had to pay more gor the features you wanted, so yeah an expensive proposition gir a small crossover
Small difference in resale value is irrelevant when looking at luxury/premium vehicles. Most important is how it feels and drives. After all, you'll have to live with it for several years and a small difference in resale value won't change my preference.
@badongtagalog5737 like the reviewer mentioned both are great cars in terms of reliability. When it comes down to design and performance that's a personal choice. Some like to feel more connected to the road some like a soft tuned suspension. I personally haven't heard of any major issues from Acura . Acura and Lexus play in the same ball park in terms of reliability.
The reviewer said he prefers the RDX lol I saw redline’s review comparing these 2 as well and they preferred the RDX too so just comes down to personal preferences
Thanks for great and honest review. Did you find your right leg has less room in Lexus’s than in Acura? It kind of became a turn off point to me when I seat in both.
Did you try putting the Lexus' mirror controls to the driver side mirror to see if that would cause them to flip down in reverse? That's how it worked in my IS350 that I had 15 yrs ago. Can't imagine they would not have that feature today.
BMW, Lexus and Mercedes nickel and dime you on every feature, Acura not so much, but they used to all come fully loaded and you only chose with/without navigation and/or engine size. Acura needs to bring back Basque Red Pearl, it was a gorgeous color.
Me too and I just bought a new NX350H for my wife. If comparing non hybrid, RDX is my choice, but the NX hybrid with 40MPG is a clear winner for my wife’s need.
The mirrors on Lexus tilt on reverse. You need to make sure the mirror switch is not in the center & has either R or L selected. It took me a week to figure this out in my NX lol
Interesting. Serial Toyota owner here. I have not driven an Acura since the TL. The RDX is not selling well in the states while the NX sales are hovering around the 50-60k mark.
@@SamCarLegion the Supra is a bmw. it doesn’t count Also rav4 no way LOL. It’s noisy, cramped, cheaply built (unless you get the very expensive Limited trim), the powertrains are unrefined. The fastest rav4 is way overpriced. Nvh is not well controlled either. Refinement and driving dynamics fall behind the crv. GR corolla maybe but the interior is a huge letdown and it can get a lot more expensive than a refined premium CTR The lc500 is the only good Toyota Lexus on sale But right now there’s not a single Toyota in existence that’s top of the class in any category. Nothing
😂 what have you driven genuinely curious cause this is one of the best driving cars I’ve ever been in and I’ve pretty much driven every car from the past 10 years
I test drove both, quality was in the lexus. Shifter easy to use I don't know what your talking about. Rdx felt cheap and wasn't as nice as a drive. HUD wasn't as nice as the lexus. I bought the lexus when it came down to it.
I love both companies and currently drive an Acura MDX but last gen. The RDX is a bit worse than its competition imo but the MDX does much better in its class, while Lexus has the body-on-frame stuff. Once you get into Hybrids or Sedans, the former goes to Lexus, the latter it depends what you want. As with most things lol.
@user-st1hy6ql3j I agree it is huge! But driving it itd not as big as I expected. I'm single and live alone but wanted the room to haul things for my animals (reptile keeping, large enclosures etc) and having something with a lot of room can be useful for a single person, able to haul stuff on your own. That said, the RDX or RX 350 are great and smaller for those that want em, still with some solid power to haul and even tow small loads like a jetski or something lol.
Wouldn't the Lexus RX be more comparable to the RDX? I always been a Acura fan...best bang for your buck! Plus more features are standard with Acura than Lexus. I have a 22 RDX and love it!
I like Acura more, but I don’t like that RDX interior can be only black or red( and someone decides instead of me what exterior/interior combination can it be( But both don’t have really effective breaks
@@naveenthemachine I cannot stand a CVT, they also have a bad reputation and I've had 2 family members that have had a CVT go bad with less than 80k miles on them. Acura is technically Japanese but made in the USA. The last car Acura sold that was made in Japan was the 13/14 TSX, my TSX was a Japanese import.
I test drove a 2019 RDX and bought a 2018 RDX because I didn't like the turbo, CVT , and I hated the control ad for the screen. I also hate the A-Spec where every thing was ugly black including the wheels. I also hated the red color seats. The only thing I liked about the NX was the more comfortable seats..NX is also too small. I would never buy an electric or hybrid car. RDX should have compared to the Lexus RX350 for comparable size.
In my eyes, the RDX is better-looking than the NX from every angle you look at it. just take a close look at the front end and grill. that huge grill on the NX is just awful. RDX wins.
The Acura has a detuned Civic Type R engine; K20C4 (turbo). Not sure why you didn't mention it.. That rear cargo area looks very similar to My 21 Rav4. Even the seat release is identical. 😂😂😂...
Your pick?
If I had no chance for a other car? NX Hybrid.

Acura is technically Japanese but made in the USA. The last car Acura sold that was made in Japan was the 13/14 TSX, my TSX was a Japanese import.
@@user-st1hy6ql3j neither the two I mentioned have CVTs
@@naveenthemachine I was actually talking about the NSX having a CVT as a definite negative.
Great work 👍
Got the Lexus NX350 F Sport
I test drove a 2019 RDX and bought a 2018 RDX because I didn't like the turbo, CVT , and I hated the control ad for the screen. I also hate the A-Spec where every thing was ugly black including the wheels. I also hated the red color seats.
The only thing I liked about the NX was the more comfortable seats..NX is also too small. I would never buy an electric or hybrid car.
RDX should have compared to the Lexus RX350 for comparable size.
Acura needs to Ditch that touch pad though.
I love the RDX except can’t get over the center console. I’m not a fan of the Lexus front end 🫣
I like Acura. But they must redesign the RDX. the infotainment system is really old, still no touch screen in 2024!
The 2024 NX has arrived here in the US....
I don’t understand why car reviewers get all bent out of shape over the shifter on the NX. It took me all of four seconds to figure it out.
Nice work
Do not offer 2 yr free maintenance in Canada.
The NX is a small vehicle. I'm surprised the NX is in the same size class as the RDX. The NX is the same size class as the mazda Cx-5
30°??? How recently? Nova Scotia here lol
We had a weekend it was super hot, 2 weeks ago
@SamCarLegion awesome. Not down this way yet hahaha
In my eyes, the RDX is better-looking than the NX from every angle you look at it. just take a close look at the front end and grill. that huge grill on the NX is just awful. RDX wins.
The Lexus you're showing is the Executive package. The most expensive one. The premium package don't have all that equipment.
Before seeing this review we already decided to get the RDX for our son's first car.
The Acura has a detuned Civic Type R engine; K20C4 (turbo). Not sure why you didn't mention it..
That rear cargo area looks very similar to My 21 Rav4. Even the seat release is identical. 😂😂😂...
Comparison with Acura A spec compared to the base Lexus so much for level playing field.
Base??
@Sam CarLegion I am just saying A spec should be compared to F sport .
This is fully loaded man.
