2020 Acura MDX vs 2020 Lexus RX 350L near Milwaukee, WI
Pictured left is the 2020 Acura MDX with Advance Package in Lunar Silver Metallic.

In the competitive market of luxury SUVs, standing out from the rest has become increasingly difficult. That being said, the staff members at Acura of Brookfield feel that the 2020 Acura MDX is something special, thanks in part to its thrilling capabilities and outstanding cabin features. To prove our point, we’re pitting this model against the 2020 Lexus RX 350L. Let’s see who’s left standing in the end!
Power & Economy
Given that you likely don’t want to sacrifice either muscle or efficiency, we’d like to start out by demonstrating how the 2020 MDX keeps you on the move. Although both the model from Acura and the Lexus RX 350L have standard 3.5L V6 engines that arm you with 290 horsepower, you’ll end up with a superior 5,000-lb. towing capacity1 if you end up taking home the former. Its rival, on the other hand, only manages to muster 3,500 lb. of trailering potential2, which might limit the possibilities during your next road trip or family outing. As if that weren’t enough, the MDX also excels when it comes to efficient performance, as evidenced by its FWD fuel economy rating of 20/27 MPG city/hwy3. The same can’t be said for the Lexus, since it misses the mark with its 19/26 MPG city/hwy4 when similarly equipped.
Cabin Comfort
As we turn our attention to the interiors, the 2020 Acura MDX continues to best its competitor from Lexus. Right away, you’ll be able to settle into a standard 12-way power driver’s seat, which allows for a wide variety of angles to ensure that you’re as comfortable as possible for your commute down I-43. Meanwhile, offering just a standard 10-way power chair for the person behind the wheel, the 2020 RX 350L simply isn’t on the same level. Furthermore, guests in back will certainly appreciate that the MDX has 36.6 and 28.1 inches of respective legroom in the second and third rows, whereas the Lexus falls short with just 30.9 and 23.5 inches of legroom in these areas.
Technology
We couldn’t think of a better way to wrap up this comparison than by examining the tech elements at your disposal. Traveling with young ones is certainly easier to do with the Acura MDX, as it can be equipped with the available Acura Rear Entertainment System to keep your kids engaged when you’re traveling to Bradford Beach. With no such upgrade accessible in the Lexus RX 350L, you might have to deal with a rowdy, restless crew. When we change gears and add safety to the equation, the SUV from Acura is once again the superior vehicle, courtesy of the standard Road Departure Mitigation System. Although it provides many protective advancements, the 2020 RX 350L lacks anything similar to this advancement.
Now that you know how the 2020 Acura MDX vs 2020 Lexus RX 350L near Milwaukee, WI, compare, we think you’ll agree that the former is the better option. Acura of Brookfield would love to tell you more, so come and speak with our team today to get all the details!

“ 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. ”
