The Lexus NX is a bit smaller inside. You’ll notice the difference up front with only 38.3 inches of headroom. It can feel less roomy for your back-seat passengers, too, with only 37.1 inches of legroom. You also won’t be able to pack as much with 22.7 cubic feet of cargo volume in the trunk. This adds up to more room for you and your luggage in the Acura RDX.
Both the 2022 RDX and 2022 NX offer user-friendly infotainment systems. A large display can be found on both dashboards. Plus, you’ll be able to sync your smartphone with:
On top of offering convenient smartphone compatibility, both vehicles have voice recognition. You can control their versatile infotainment without taking your eyes off the road.
Each one also offers a navigation system. You can see your route and directions on both the dashboard and instrument cluster. The Acura makes it even easier to see where you’re going, though, with an available Head-Up Display. Its transparent screen puts alerts and directions right in your line of sight while you drive.
The Lexus NX does not offer a Head-up display, which means you’ll have an easier time finding your way home in the Acura RDX.
Underneath all that luxury, the Acura RDX has the soul of a sports car. Trims are powered by a standard turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that gets up to 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
While front-wheel drive comes standard in the 2022 RDX, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ is available on every trim level. You’ll also be able to the rely on the versatile 10-speed automatic transmission on both configurations.
Standard trims of the Lexus NX run on a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, but it lacks the excitement of the RDX. It only delivers up to 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The vehicle offers all-wheel drive, too, but its 8-speed electronically controlled transmission can’t provide the same nimble performance as the RDX.
