2022 Acura MDX vs 2023 Lexus GX

CarGurus experts rate the 2022 Acura MDX as 8 out of 10 for performance, while the 2023 Lexus GX scores 6 out of 10. The MDX impresses with its potent 290-horsepower V6 engine and new 10-speed automatic transmission. The precise steering, improved suspension, and innovative torque vectoring system make for an engaging driving experience.

In contrast, the GX's V8 engine offers a satisfying linear power delivery, but its fuel economy lags behind and the vehicle's weight affects cornering ability. In short, these are very different kinds of SUV.

When it comes to seating comfort and cargo capacity, the 2022 Acura MDX shines with innovative features like a double-wishbone suspension for improved handling and flexibility with sliding rows of seats. The MDX offers between 16.3 and 95 cubic feet of cargo space, providing ample storage options for various needs.

In comparison, the 2023 Lexus GX provides comfortable seating in the first two rows but lacks passenger space in the third row. The GX offers a narrow 11.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, expanding to 64.7 cubic feet with the seats folded down.
