2019 Acura RDX vs 2019 Lexus NX in Brookfield, WI


2019 Acura RDX pictured above left with Advance Package in Fathom Blue Pearl.
Filtering through the crowded class of luxury SUVs can be a tiring task. Let Acura of Brookfield help with your search! We’re quite partial to the 2019 Acura RDX, which stands strong when measured against a competitor like the 2019 Lexus NX. Read on to learn why the RDX comes out on top when comparing its performance, technology, and capacity!
Performance
Let’s begin where the Acura RDX makes its supremacy most noticeable — the power under the hood. It packs a punchy 2.0L turbo engine that generates an exhilarating 272 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque, plenty of pep to zip you down Route 18 in record time. And while the Lexus NX also features a 2.0L turbo powertrain, it comes up short where it counts, only managing to provide 235 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Sadly for the Lexus, this trend continues when measuring up these vehicles’ respective transmissions. The NX comes equipped with a standard 6-speed automatic transmission, which pales in comparison to the supreme silkiness and hair-raising acceleration that the Acura RDX’s 8-speed automatic transmission provides. Out on the road, the RDX is clearly favored in the power department.
Technology
Let’s move inside the cabin and observe all the ways that the 2019 RDX proves itself as a state-of-the-art luxury SUV. Perhaps the most attention-grabbing feature is the Acura RDX’s available GPS-linked climate control system1, a futuristic amenity that monitors the sun’s position in the sky and automatically adjusts your cabin temperature in accordance with how much solar heat it’s receiving! You’ll be hard-pressed to find something like this in the Lexus NX. You will find a 10-speaker sound system in the Lexus, which seems impressive until you experience the sound field that the Acura RDX can generate. Equip the available 16-speaker Acura/ELS Studio 3D®2 Premium Audio system, and you’ll be blown away by sound quality that the 2019 Lexus NX just doesn’t have the ability to produce!
Capacity
There’s even more for the Acura RDX to show off within its expansive interior. If you plan on carting around considerable cargo, you’ll love its 29.5 cubic ft. of storage space3 behind the second row. But if you’re depending on the Lexus NX to carry all of your camping gear, you might find yourself disappointed when its 25.5 cubic ft. of cargo room4 can’t get the job done. The difference is clear when you’re hauling humans, too! In the 2019 RDX, second-row passengers will enjoy a spacious 38.0 inches of legroom, whereas those seated in the back of the Lexus NX might find themselves getting some muscle cramps while squeezed in with 36.1 inches of legroom. In front, the Lexus features a driver’s seat with 10-way power adjustability, but you can dial in your comfort even more precisely in the Acura RDX, which boasts standard 12-way power adjustability in the driver’s chair.
We’ve inspected these two luxury SUVs closely, and a clear winner has emerged in this comparison between the 2019 Acura RDX vs 2019 Lexus NX in Brookfield, WI — the Acura RDX! We have one idling on our lot at Acura of Brookfield with your name on it, so stop in today and take it for a test drive!

“ Brian Hoppe was our salesperson and he was great. He made the purchase smooth from testing the car to purchasing it. Communicating prior to test drive was easy. I sent a message and they reached out and were able to set up an appointment on the same day. No spam calls, just text for communication as we preferred. Upon arrival, Brian was very thoughtful and had warmed up the car for us to test drive. We were able to immediately hop in and test drive without having to worry about warming up the engine or having a hovering salesperson in the backseat. He was not pushy at all, and he didn't have to be. The cars here speak for themselves. You could tell the car was well taken care of and maintained to Acura of Brookfield's high standards. We were able to test drive for a while before confirming the purchase. Although it was past working hours, Brian stayed late to set us up for financing. He took care of us and made sure we had drinks and snacks. The price was reasonable and on top of that Brian set us up with even better financing rates than we had initially hoped for. It was a easy yes. We were able to wrap up signing papers and pick it up the next day which took not even an hour. The car was newly washed, tank full, car warmed up, and parked in front for our convenience. It also had Acura merch plus a little gift. Fun! It made the experience great and throughly seamless. Note, we had been searching for a car for over two months dealing with shady dealerships and salespersons who were pushy and deceptive. This dealership and it's employees were nothing like that. They are honest and fair and hold themselves to high standards when it comes to the quality of their cars. I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe. ”
