2022 Acura MDX vs 2021 Lexus RXL in Brookfield, WI
Pictured above is the 2022 Acura MDX with Advance Package in Liquid Carbon Metallic.
Are you struggling to choose a luxury SUV from the multitude of models that are at your disposal in this competitive segment? If so, then the team at Acura of Brookfield is here to explain why you should seriously consider choosing the breathtaking 2022 Acura MDX! However, instead of just listing its features, we’re stacking it up against the 2021 Lexus RXL to demonstrate how the MDX compares to the competition.
Comfort & Space
It won’t take long for the 2022 MDX to win you over, as its cabin has been crafted with your needs at the forefront. To ensure that the interior temperature is just how you like it, this Acura is available with GPS-linked1 climate control, which tracks the sun’s position to determine which areas need to be cooled off. The 2021 RXL, on the other hand, has nothing quite like this. Similarly, although both models are available with ambient lighting, the Acura grants you outstanding customizable with its 27 different themes, whereas the Lexus just has one color setting. Finally, guests in the third row will likely prefer the MDX, as it has 36.2 inches of legroom compared to the underwhelming 23.5 inches of legroom offered by the 2021 RXL.
Technology
The 2022 Acura MDX continues to build on its lead over the 2021 Lexus RXL when we direct our attention to technology. For instance, if keeping your phone at full battery is a must, then the former and its standard wireless charging pad will be much appreciated. To access a comparable amenity in the Lexus, you’ll have to shell out on additional upgrades. In fact, the same goes for the Acura’s standard 12.3-inch HD Dual-Content Center Display. However, no matter which of RXL’s trims you choose, you won’t find wireless Apple CarPlay®2 or Android Auto™3, which come standard on the MDX. That way, instead of having to keep a cable on hand, you can sync your device with just a few taps for a well-connected drive to Rolling Meadows Park.
Performance
The last aspect we’d like to address is performance. At first glance, the Acura MDX and Lexus RXL seem fairly even, as both are equipped with a 3.5L V6 powertrain. Even their specs are virtually identical, with the MDX holding a slight lead by arming you with 290-hp and 267 lb.-ft. of torque to its rival’s 290-hp4 and 263 lb.-ft. of torque4. However, the MDX soon pulls ahead, as it’s capable of a 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity5, whereas the vehicle from Lexus falls short with its 3,500-lb. maximum trailering rating6. Not to mention, the Acura’s 10-speed automatic transmission will likely feel livelier than the RXL’s 8-speed gearbox when you put the pedal to the metal.
Acura of Brookfield is confident you’ll agree with us that the MDX is superior SUV between the 2022 Acura MDX vs 2021 Lexus RXL in Brookfield, WI. If you’re ready to make it yours, be sure to check out our competitive incentives before visiting us at the dealership!

Testimonials
I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.
Highly Recommend!!!!
“ Just purchased a pre-owned Honda Accord from Brian Hoppe at Acura of Brookfield. From the moment I walked through the showroom doors he was very professional and easy to deal with. He answered EVERY question I had. He knew a lot about the vehicle that I was interested in and truly made me feel like a valued customer. No hidden fees or high pressure sales. The whole process was very refreshing! I will be buying more cars from Brian in the future. Highly Recommend!!!! ”

“ 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. ”
