2022 Acura MDX vs 2022 Cadillac XT6 near Waukesha, WI

2022 Acura MDX vs 2022 Cadillac XT6 near Waukesha, WIPictured above is the 2022 Acura MDX with Advance Package in Liquid Carbon Metallic. 

Though competition is fierce in the luxury SUV segment, the 2022 Acura MDX manages to rise to the occasion and prove its worth in a number of ways. With this model, you can expect vibrant capabilities, a number of upscale amenities, and convenient technology, so you’ll certainly want to go for a test drive at Acura of Brookfield. However, before you stop by, check out how the MDX compares to the 2022 Cadillac XT6!

Performance

Naturally, you’ll want to know about the performance specs of these two vehicles. The 2022 MDX isn’t messing around in the slightest, coming standard with a 3.5L V6 powertrain that pumps out 290 horsepower and 267 lb.-ft. of torque with utmost purpose. Meanwhile, the 2022 XT6 isn’t nearly as powerful to start, as its standard 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine can only produce 235 horsepower1 and 258 lb.-ft. of torque1. In fact, though this Cadillac does have an optional 3.6L V6 system that allows you to tap into a 4,000-lb. maximum towing capacity2, even this falls short of the Acura. When you equip the MDX with available AWD, you’ll be treated to a competitive 5,000-lb. maximum trailering rating3. Without a doubt, the SUV from Acura brings more to the table under the hood.

Cabin Amenities

After taking the lead in round one, the 2022 Acura MDX continues to impress when we direct our focus to its interior and how it compares to the 2022 Cadillac XT6. Both have standard tri-zone automatic climate control, but only the former also lets you spring for an available GPS-linked4 setup. With this upgrade, your SUV will adjust the temperature levels based on the sun’s relative position! Not to mention, you’ll have an easy time setting the right mood for evening outings along the Fox River, thanks to the MDX’s available 27-color Iconic Drive™ Ambient LED Cabin Lighting. Unfortunately, the Cadillac doesn’t offer nearly the same degree of customization options. And while the XT6 offers 12.6 cubic ft. of cargo space5 behind the third row, its rival provides 16.3 cubic ft. of rear storage6

Technology

Finally, it’s time for us to talk about the tech features offered by the Acura MDX and Cadillac XT6. To begin, both come standard with Amazon Alexa Built-In7 to help you receive weather and traffic updates, make lists, stream music, and so much more. That being said, the XT6 requires you to upgrade if you wish to access a wireless phone charger8, while the Acura provides this amenity as standard equipment. As a result, you’ll have to remember to keep a cable on hand when you take long drives in the Cadillac. Speaking of which, your various drives might grow tedious in the XT6, as its optional 14-speaker sound system doesn’t quite measure up to the available 16-speaker setup offered by its competitor. 

After learning about the 2022 Acura MDX vs 2022 Cadillac XT6 near Waukesha, WI, we at Acura of Brookfield are certain you’ll prefer the former. If you’re ready to take it for a spin, swing by 19180 W. Bluemound Road in Brookfield, WI!

Testimonials

I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

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.

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!!!!

Just bought my second Certified Used car from Acura of Brookfield, 8 years after my first one. I worked with Malcolm and he was great - personable, honest, and he knew the vehicles well. I had planned on a 4-5 year cycle but couldn't let go of my TL and now stepped into a MDX. Both times I was treated with attention and respect - it was a great buying experience and pricing was competitive. I really appreciate how they run this dealership and will recommend them to anyone.
