Wife chose the Lexus RX instead of either.

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.

I was thinking to go for the New Gen Lexus, but that ACURA is amazing. ❤

Por algo es la más vendida en su segmento la Acura ❤

I love my '23 RDX A-Spec Advance. The driving dynamics were top tier in the class, even compared to my dad's X3.

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.

Acura RDX for performance, space, and sporty design. Lexus NX for fuel economy and more friendly infotainment system because it’s touchscreen

The only thing I like about the Lexus is the color. The RDX takes the rest.

The Lexus NX is an amazing car , really loving this thing.

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

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’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.

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.

Excellent review 👍🏻 RDX ALL THE WAY!! Hoping to see the RDX with the type S Variant someday!

Nice video, but you forgot mention the Head up display on RDX.

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.

That lexus is gorgeous. But it's Acura all day baby! Great comparision Sam, maybe we can get a race video with these beautiful machines.

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 😎👍💪🇨🇦

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.

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 wish Acura would make the screens touch so you had the choice of the touchpad or touchscreen. I like that feature in my M3

I’m fine with the touchpad but I agree having both options is good. Rented a 3 series and loved that you can easily do both

Acura SH-AWD is excellent in snow and sand..SH-AWD also gives outside wheels more speed in corners. Very exhilarating and hugs the road.

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’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.

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! :)

I like Acura. But they must redesign the RDX. the infotainment system is really old, still no touch screen in 2024!

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.

I prefer Lexus . More stylish.

Why does the window sticker say 2023 and the video says 2024?

The Lexus grill is overwhelming and garish, far too large for the car size.

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!
