Whether you’re thinking of getting a compact or midsize SUV near Maple Shade, Moorestown, or Cherry Hill, NJ, the team at Elite Acura can help.
We know of two models that may interest many drivers—the 2022 Acura RDX and the 2022 Toyota Highlander. Both have lots to offer, so how do you know which one would be a better fit for your lifestyle?
To help you decide, we’ve created this Acura RDX vs. Toyota Highlander comparison. Keep reading to learn about these automobiles, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
The 2022 Acura RDX may be a compact SUV, but it provides more than enough interior space for up to five people among its two rows.
You’ll feel extra comfy up front, as the vehicle provides 60 inches of shoulder room. Plus, with available 16-way power-adjustable front seats, you can feel relaxed on those longer drives.
Meanwhile, the 2022 Toyota Highlander offers just 59 inches of front shoulder room. Plus, it offers 10-way power-adjustable front seats in its highest trim level. As a result, you may not feel quite as comfortable in this model as you would in the Acura.
Furthermore, the Highlander has three rows with 16 cubic feet of cargo space when all the seats are upright. However, if you want more standard cargo room, go with the RDX. When all its seats are in the upright position, you’ll have 29.5 cubic feet to utilize.
The Acura RDX is a luxury automobile, and that’s evident from the moment you step inside. Premium Milano leather adorns the seating in higher trim levels, while Ultrasuede® inserts are available.
Iconic Drive™ ambient LED cabin lighting is optional, too, with up to 27 color themes to choose from. Plus, you have various interior trim options available, in materials like:
Combine that with heated and optional ventilated front seats, and you may never want to get out of the vehicle.
The Toyota Highlander also offers heated and ventilated front seats along with ambient lighting. However, even with available leather seating, the materials found inside this cabin aren’t as elegant as the ones in the RDX.
Finally, the 2022 RDX and 2022 Highlander offer lots of high-tech features to help keep you connected and entertained throughout your travels.
For example, each model comes standard with:
The RDX also comes standard with a 10.2-inch display screen for easy viewing of your media options. You can access them through the intuitive True Touchpad Interface™—the padded wrist rest keeps you comfortable while you navigate the menus.
If you then upgrade to a higher trim level, you’ll have access to an Acura/ELS Studio 3D® Premium Audio System. With 16 speakers, your music, phone calls, and navigation will come into the cabin with extremely high clarity.
The Highlander, on the other hand, comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen. While impressive, it doesn’t provide the clarity offered by the Acura. Sound won’t come through as sharply, either, as the best system has just 11 speakers.
While each SUV has noteworthy attributes, the 2022 Acura RDX offers more standard space and features, as well as a more refined look in its cabin.
