The 2024 Acura MDX and Lexus RX 350 both impress with their sleek aesthetics, but it’s the specs that set them apart. While both vehicles offer luxury and style, the Acura MDX outshines the Lexus RX 350 in key performance areas, making it the better choice for discerning drivers. The team at Vern Eide Acura in Sioux Falls, SD, took a deep dive into the specs and found that the MDX delivers superior value.
When it comes to towing capacity, the 2024 Acura MDX pulls ahead with a 5,000 lbs rating, compared to the Lexus RX 350’s 3,500 lbs. This makes the MDX a better option if you need to tow heavier loads, whether it’s for weekend adventures or daily tasks.
The Acura MDX also surpasses the Lexus RX 350 in seating capacity, offering room for up to 7 passengers with its third-row seating. In contrast, the Lexus RX 350 seats only 5, making the MDX the better choice for families or anyone who frequently drives with more passengers.
With its larger cargo space, the Acura MDX provides more room for your gear, groceries, or luggage. The MDX’s maximum cargo volume beats the Lexus RX 350, giving you more flexibility for your storage needs, whether you’re packing for a road trip or simply handling everyday errands.
The MDX features a slightly larger fuel tank at 18.5 gallons compared to the RX 350’s 17.2 gallons. While both offer good gas mileage, the extra fuel capacity in the MDX means fewer stops at the pump on long journeys, giving you more time on the road and less time refueling.
