In what was once a Lexus hallmark, they've ceded powertrain polish to Acura. The J-Series V6 and 10AT is a sublime powertrain. The old Lexus RX was unquestioned for its hushed environment, impeccable build quality, and just an overall smoothness while going down the road. Now, with a less-premium interior, there just doesnt seem to be an advantage anymore. The Acura just seems to offer the right mix at this price point. Granted, the RX is likely to retain higher resale value, but both of these are generally leased anyway.
Acura just need to bring back they hybrid engine options for the MDX and additionally for the RDX. Lexus definitely has the edge with engine choices. I wouldn't say that the 4 cyl engine on the Lexus is not going to be reliable, but the V6 in the Acura will definitely outlast that 4cyl engine in the Lexus. It's as simple as that!
MDX Type-S has low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads fyi although it is an amazing product, my mom has a 2023 MDX Advance and it’s amazing, Type-S MDX won’t be as reliable as standard MDX either and tbh neither have performance, although both have great driving dynamics for their size (if you want performance, get a BMW X5, my dad is gonna order his next month)
@@CAC02_ unfortunately we can’t do anything about it because the MDX Type-S has big breaks, that’s why the large 21 inch wheels with low-profile tires are called for
I'll take the Acura MDX for that naturally aspirated V6 and extra third row. Not to mention that it now has a touchscreen infotainment system. Thank you Honda for keeping that V6 while Toyota is phasing it out.
I work at Lexus and i owned a TLX Type S. I would choose the Lexus still. Better reliability, resale value and the brand is more versatile. We get a ton of Acura trade ins

I have the rx450h+ plug in hybrid. 2.5 liter engine. No turbo plus the hybrid system. It's a really nice ride. Paid like 73k new fully optioned. Not that much more thsn this rx350. I did get a loner rx350 drove it 700 miles and I really liked it. Did not seem weak at all felt plenty of power.
What I don't understand with Acura is why it's so hard to get into the ventilated seats. It's not available until the 66k advanced package with massage feature. It's pretty hot around here and this is a deal breaker.
Take note that Acura deleted SiriusXM satellite radio from the 25 MDX! Which means you’ll have to stream it from the app on your cell phone which means you’ll need cell phone reception. Really dumb penny pinching on Acura’s part!
It’s really sad for us Aussies because we can’t get Acura cars here. As a result, Honda has over inflated prices, especially on hybrids. For example, a Civic Hybrid costs $55,000 whereas a Corolla Hybrid starts at $35,000. I’m sorry but a Civic is not worth $20,000 more, I could buy another second hand car for that money. Acura never came here and it seems like Honda is going to disappear here with their stupid pricing. Very sad.

The Lexus equivalent for the MDX is the TX in terms of 3 row SUVs. RDX competes with the NX. Acura doesn't have an 'in-between' the RDX and MDX where the RX sits
I would go with the Lexus. But it would be the naturally asperated in line four with their Hybrid version. Fuel economy is huge plus you can burn regular fuel in the hybrid Lexus versus premium fuel only on the Acura. Trust me it will add up over time with todays gas prices and probably will get more expensive for premium fuel in the future. Plus resale on the Lexus will be better.
No wrong choice here but for me the Acura is the winner, 3 rows, V6, much better looking, nicer interior, auto dimming mirrors on both sides but as I said no wrong choice here.
People who want better build quality, actual luxury and reliability as well as good gas mileage. Acuras are pitifully put together. My RDX is a rattling shitbox. I hear the same complaints from MDX owners. Nobody cares about handling on a crossover in this segment, except the Acura/Honda fanboys. We got the Acura then our Lexus ... it's no comparison that we'll be sticking with Lexus and never returning to Acura, which is a fake premium brand. Hell, I'd go Mazda over Acura at this point. Once Toyota works out the issues with the 3.4TT, we'll be dumping the POS Acura and picking up a GX550. Not like Honda isn't spinning rod bearings thanks to the VCM in their V6's that are still ongoing even in motors built today and their 1.5T's are eating their piston rings from fuel dilution. Who would pay $68k for a tarted up Honda is the better question.
@@CU08 Lexus has better build quality, I give u that and that’s it. It’s turbo engine never gonna be more reliable than j35 on MDX, it’s ECVT is even worse.

@@caesarjulis7077 Are there folks that care about vehicle dynamics and handling? Sure and the Germans are right there for them. Just depends on what metrics one values
Based on how I saw it, it’s not comparing the vehicles themselves but rather what the average luxury car buyer is shopping for. Since these two are top sellers it’s very likely buyers will test both out or decide between one of these.
You don’t care about handling until you have to swerve out of the way on the freeway from someone who cuts you off. I almost rolled my 2016 Honda Pilot when I had to avoid a car and did the same maneuver in my 2022 MDX years later and didn’t almost lose control like the Pilot. That’s the difference in suspension. You are wrong.
Engineering background both have their advantages and disadvantage. The advantage for the Acura MDX is it affordability , as long as you don’t opt out for The S type. The advantage of the Lexus RX 350 Is you only need to put 87 regular gas. The disadvantage of the Lexus is the price. The disadvantage of the MDX is you have to put high octane 91 gas. You have to weigh the pro’s and the con’’s. Honestly, F sport and S type is not worth it. I have the Lexus EX 350 luxury and the wife has the MDX. Oh one last thing, the MDX is slightly larger and comes with a 3rd row but that is for show and small kids might be impressed. I bought the Lexus because High Octane in Las Vegas is 80 cents more and according to Lexus 17.2-17.8 gallons and keep this in mind. Lexus get’s about 2 niles per gallon more combined 24 vs 22.l MOG. All of these are things to consider, when making a purchase. You could probably get away with putting regular gas in their regular MDX but with the S tip recommend premium
@@curiosityredpill7030 Probably smarter and more economical of a choice. I’m sure if you get it fully loaded it’s nice. The S type is a high-performance car it has close to 300 HP I believe 275 if you put regular you’re gonna kill your engine . The regular MDX should be fine with regular gas but you’re probably gonna get better performance with premium.
I’m digging both but Lexus lost when Toyota decided to go with turbo-ed 4 cylinders instead of a v6 on some of their models. Lexus should have opted for a v6. Turbos are fun but problematic. More moving parts more problems. Not to mention you have to use higher octane fuel. So if you do better on mpg, you loose your savings buying the better quality fuel. I know because we drive turbo-ed 4 cylinder, it’s not a bad ride, but NA vehicles are better quality in the long run.
I'd take the MDX, if just for the fact that it still has a naturally aspirated V6. It has the same engine as my 2013 Acura TL which has been bullet-proof for 90,000 miles so far.
Acura, you can use regular gas for sure. I'm not sure about Lexus. Although Lexus are nice, reliable vehicles, they are usually ugly and don't handle as well as Acura. Also, you can definitely see toyota in they looks. Acura is also reliable, and you can barely see honda in they looks so my choice was easy.
Lexus is disappointing. Barely any different from the Highlander. See no point buying Lexus over Toyota, when they are basically identical. At least Acura tried to differentiate from Honda.
That’s easy Ones a REAL luxury car with REAL luxury car underpinnings, a bespoke architecture, and a properly luxurious interior and plenty of flagship features. That’s the MDX. The MDX is no longer a gussies up pilot The other one though… is not a luxury car. It’s just a gussied up Camry on stilts that’s mediocre in just about every way you can think of. That’s the Lexus

The RX cargo space is abysmal, even for a two-row, and the driving experience is also so disconnected. The Acura is better looking, drives better, has more space (if you need it), and a far superior drivetrain.
ACURA AND HONDA have hard suspension, they suck. They are noisy inside while driving 😊Toyota and Lexus are more reliable than Honda. Toyota and Lexus suspension are great Pretty quite inside while driving!
This is bullshit, I have a 2023 MDX Advance, the cabin is incredibly quiet, the ride quality is amazing, as far as reliability goes, both Honda/Toyota are doing great
I don't think this person watched the review. The MDX was more quiet, with lower decibels. The engine was also rated more refined. If I had to choose, I would go with the Acura MDX simply because it looks better and the resale/reliability is a negligible difference.
My boo can buy this car for my granny cause only old people drive these cars!!!! Hot phat cheek having gurls like me and my other ebony queens only drive the best like Bimmers, Benzs, Bentleys, and RRs boo boo!!!!!

WHAT'S GOING ONNNNNN RUclips
Always Acura luxes not good anymore

Why explain please?

Reliability resale value
@@user-cn4ih4ro2u I think they are extremeily close in both of those its a a toss up.
Agreed. That's why I bought the hybrid version 😊
ACURA AND HONDA have hard suspension, they suck. They are noisy inside while driving 😊Toyota and Lexus are more reliable than Honda. Toyota and Lexus suspension are great Pretty quite inside while driving!
😂😂😂
This is bullshit, I have a 2023 MDX Advance, the cabin is incredibly quiet, the ride quality is amazing, as far as reliability goes, both Honda/Toyota are doing great
I don't think this person watched the review. The MDX was more quiet, with lower decibels. The engine was also rated more refined. If I had to choose, I would go with the Acura MDX simply because it looks better and the resale/reliability is a negligible difference.
@@user-xi9bb7cv5x agreed, the MDX is the better car between these two
My boo can buy this car for my granny cause only old people drive these cars!!!! Hot phat cheek having gurls like me and my other ebony queens only drive the best like Bimmers, Benzs, Bentleys, and RRs boo boo!!!!!
Is your statement in English? Some of us have kids and use a third row everyday and wanted better handling, better dealership service, nice ambient lighting, high end stereo, interior, reliability and great driving dynamics.
@@thegamerbrotherman2399 Best not be coming at me with that attitude boo boo!!! Y’all can still miss my donk with this mess!!!!
The major reason I chose the MDX over RDX and RX350… no turbo!
Acura all the way..
