2019 Acura RDX Vs 2018 Lexus NX 300 - Who Makes The BEST Luxury SUV?

I only got 1,500 off of the sticker. Only $500 from dealer. But there is an unadvertised rebate from Acura of $1000.00 If you own a 2011 or newer Acura which I do. It’s hard to haggle on a high demand car. Perhaps in a few months or during the holidays the prices will be lower. I personally feel like even at sticker it’s a good deal for that car. Out the door was about 200 more for prep and doc fee. Plus registration. What area are you in? What prices are you getting? Pete

[@mcypress5333]

Great review as always! You are among the top out here. I just purchased a 2019 NX 300 F Sport. It's an awesome SUV! The Acura is a very nice looking vehicle, but with the Lexus ranking so high for dependability and resale value for the F Sport, I chose it. $47,000.00 minus incentives, GREAT value. I have NO issues using the track pad for the infotainment system. To each is own, I guess.

[@yingyil3314]

Acura in reality is almost as reliable as Lexus. You wont be able to find another prem/luxury brand that's as reliable as Lexus and Acura. Stay away from that initial quality ranking thing though. It's not accurate. Also in terms of resale price, I dont think acura is that much less than Lexus.

[@mcypress5333]

@@yingyil3314 I agree, Acura does make good, dependable autos. I'm just very partial to the Lexus brand. One initial ratings, I never pay attention to them. One won't find out the reliability from a new designed auto, until it has been out for years. The Acura is very nice,.Something about Lexus, draws me back every time, though.

Well, certainly you don't mean the new QX50? That's not what the now retired 2017 model is, that's for sure. The previous models, for years, had a lot of the "premium features" included by default/standard. I believe Nissan/Infiniti was this segment's game changer and its leader for years. I'll be missing the old QX50 (personally I drive the JDM model, Nissan Skyline Crossover 370GT Four).

[@gavin6090]

I would avoid the infinity due to cost of ownership being a Nissan product. I would buy the NX for its styling but that is a personal preference.

[@yingyil3314]

I remember seeing a NX in the airport several years ago when it first came out and I thought wow that's a beauty and I hoped I'd own one some day. A few years later I bought a RDX (last gen 3.5L V6), which I felt was much more powerful, more fun to drive, and practical. I now own a Jag fpace supercharged, but I still enjoy driving my old RDX.

[@yorkudegree4358]

Excellent review. Acura RDX is the clear winner against the Lexus NX and it’s not even close. Not only does it look better, greater power, substantial space, advanced info system, luxurious features and just more organized at about the same price. Faults would be the floating Centre Console, button drive shifter and array of buttons, but in comparison this is still better than the Lexus offering. Category comparisons in order of preference: BMW X3, Audi Q5, MB GLC, Volvo XC60 & Acura RDX. Fantastic vehicle. A significant improvement from the previous generation, but falls short of the Europeans in luxury, driving and features. Definitely a vehicle to consider, watch the options better value with standard equipment, but it can get pricey with the options.

[@schoi604]

YorkU Degree I definitely agree with you especially: substantial space!!!!!!!!

[@k3moi]

I got the Acura RDX A-Spec in Apex Blue Pearl. Super attractive car! Definitely a head-turner! But overall, the ride, handling and power is simply amazing! The surround sound stereo system also was huge for me because I love to play my music all the time and crank the volume and it sounds incredible! I think Acura did an amazing job with the RDX!!

[@1sotheary]

Apparently, I'm one of at the few people here that prefers the Lexus NX. To each their own I suppose. I just like the styling of the Lexus better. I don't like the grill or the tail lights of the Acura as much. At least Acura got rid of that hideous beak grill for the updated RDX, but I'm still not a huge fan of the new grill. Yes, the Acura is bigger, but if I wanted to drive a bigger SUV, I'd probably get a Highlander or Pilot. I don't think it's really fair to say that the RDX blows the NX out of the water, because the NX is a very nice SUV, and is extremely reliable. Also, the NX design has been around since 2015. So you're comparing a 4 year old design with a newly refreshed next generation design. Also where I live, the Lexus dealerships are top notch facilities with great customer service. The Acura dealerships in my area are good, but not great. Before I bought my NX, I also test drove the RDX, and I preferred the NX. I have no problem if you think the RDX is a better SUV, but does it blow the NX away? No.

[@L4mTr4n]

The RDX made a significant update to the previous gen than the NX. I wouldn't call the NX a significant update. I really like the NX front look but I think I would pick the RDX over the NX due to the technology and performance that Acura has to offer.

[@SUPERMAN-xf4fv]

[@b9s462]

Running Coyote You are defending outdated technology. Pretty soon all cars will get full LCD screens or some style of LCD screens (LFA Gauges). Referring to the comment about analog gauges aging better. That's definitely true though. While the LCD gauges make the analog gauges look outdated now, those analog gauges will look better and age better over time. What do I mean by that? IE: Once the LCD display gauges of 2018 get outdated looking in say 2025, in 2025 analog gauges from 2018 will look better than digital display gauges 2018. Because, realistically, a needle and circle to tell your MPH can only get outdated so much.

[@blankerism4189]

Runny Coyote does have a point. in some categories and brands it makes sense and in others it doesn't. I don't say this to knock on Sofyan but he does have expectations with models and brands no matter what the segment they're competing in. One that I noticed in which he use to point out a lot was sensor bars on their driverside door handle over the push button to unlock the door. It was something he use to say in his older videos that he sort of expected it in luxury brands and would point it out in regular car brands like Toyota, Chevrolet, or KIA for example. The same can be said about sun roofs vs the panoramic sun roofs in trucks or suv's in non luxury brands.

[@dp1927]

In my experience, the Lexus build quaility and fit/finish is a step ahead of the Lexus. Everything runs so smoothly and feels luxurious. The Acura has a much sportier nature and is more fun to drive. You will not go wrong picking either the NX or RDX, but it will depend on what you want. If I was in the market right now, I would pick the RDX as I find the styling more timeless, yet striking, plus the driving dynamics are superior. It also is more spacious and practical.

I prefer to have a big screen with minimal button (which there is so many in Acura and X3) so Xc60 is better for me. maybe someone else prefer to have a sportier engine, then can select BMW. But for me, the good point with Acura is the price, you can not find a dealer who sell Acura in Euro, so how you can trust and buy it there!!

Exactly but people dont understand that they want it now now now and then when it breaks and it cost allot of money to repair then they want to bitch about it.

[@prince_sach50]

true

[@yingyil3314]

Acuras/Hondas last just as long

[@davidnievesjr.9478]

Nice review. I wish more reviewers would mention fuel requirements like you did. That, to me, makes a big difference in a decision to purchase a car.

I actually like the design of the NX more. It’s shocking to say but I think the design, especially the face (gasp!) is actually more cohesive than that of the RDX which is just a collage of shapes in comparison. I do think the RDX spanks the NX in every other regard however, not surprising as the RDX is a brand new car and now is in its 3 generation and taking on the NX which is a first gen car and Lexus first crack at the segment. I haven’t finished the video, but I fully expect a win from the RDX. I’m sure in 3 years when the NX is redone it’ll beat the RDX as well, and the wheels on the bus goes round and round.

[@nodirrustamov9847]

👏👏👏3 years passed

[@LouAntonioGiordano]

The first video I watched from you is one of those acceleration videos from the Xoquixxoqafxo channel. That was like eight years ago. It’s been a while. I was subscribed when you had the older V6 Accord. Haha probably one of the few most OG subscribers you have.

[@matthewgrayson8]

The Acura 👌🏼

[@talia5367]

When you get a phone call in the RDX, pay attention to the trip computer screen. It'll show you there that you're getting a phone call and you can use the left right/left button to either answer or ignore the call. It took me a while the first time until I noticed where to look to answer the phone haha

[@MrHarvey91]

I wanted the new RDX A-Spec but 45k just wasnt in my budget. I ended up buying a 2015 Lexus NX 200t F Sport black with red interior. It's pretty much the same thing as the 2018 just doesnt have the 3Led bulbs up front, the big navi screen or cooled seats. But I bought it for $28k with only 25k miles. It definitely feels slow and the navi sucks. But I like how smooth it is and to me the F Sport grill looks badass and I like the rear of the lexus compared to the RDX. I'll just wait a couple of year for the RDX price to drop down and I'll be trading for sure. I wouldn't be able to spend 45k on either of these cars. But used it'll be worth it.

[@jonathangoldberg7423]

So…did you get a RDX yet?

[@KirkKreifels]

One last comment before I leave your chat in peace. NX 300h is the way to go if you're getting this car. Over 30mpg combined city/hwy.

[@bg693]

Is this really the last comment? Jk...😂

[@Av3ntur0zky]

@@bg693 he works for Lexus lol.. He cant just agreed the RDX is much better than the poor NX300

[@theredline]

We actually haven't driven the NX hybrid but we liked the powertrain in the RAV4 Hybrid.

[@bg693]

No comparison. The RDX wins. The updated infotainment system, 3D Audio System (You can't get the Mark Levinson on the NX), CarPlay and Android Auto, better leather interior, STANDARD panoramic sunroof, head up display, 20 inch wheels, are all options the NX doesn't even offer. The RDX is the best value for the price.

[@iPvpTiger]

You forgot the engine differences as well ;-)

[@b9s462]

BG Some options you have listed are only available on the Advance Pack RDX. The RDX Advance is better than the NX. But I would say the RDX Advance is one ugly piece of shit. I believe the NX F Sport and RDX A-Spec is pretty similar in comparison. NX F-Sport have a ton of features the RDX A-Spec don't have and vice versa.

[@bg693]

@@iPvpTiger I love lexus so I wanted to give them a break somewhere. :)

[@bg693]

@@b9s462 I would say that you are wrong. They all look the same and for the price I can buy some wheels and have a nice SH-AWD on the Acura. The Aspec has the 3D audio system standard and the NX audio system is nothing in comparison. No Mark Levinson=No Deal! Even the new RAV4 will have an updated AWD, digital rearview mirror, JBL audio, pano roof etc.

[@nelsonbrito4964]

The lexus is an older platform, while the Acura just refreshed the rds platform, wait for the refreshed lexus, there will be no comparison, either way lexus sells more and keeps the value more.

[@shawnp7597]

Hey Sofyan! In order to answer the phone From the steering you have push the left scroll wheel to the left or right. Its annoying but the car review is great as always.

[@yippie6862]

It doesn't matter if it's 18 or 20 inch rims for the turning radius. The overall diameter of the wheel is the same. You are either getting more rim or more tire sidewall.

[@rezneba101]

yeah what was up with that... 13" rims will have the same problem.

[@giovanniherrera8303]

The review is great and well narrated however you are comparing a 2018 Lexus NX 300 F Sport against a 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec. I would definitely like to see a comparison of same year seeing how the RDX changed in 2019 to the newer style.

[@rigelgutierrez9866]

Having both brands in my family and knowing both brands relatively well I will humbly suggest to not buy an Acura over a Lexus. Reliability and depreciation between this two brands are not even close.

[@seikocitizenwatches]

Based on my years of ownership of many different brands spanning over three different continents and my final conclusion is Toyota/Lexus. I know not everyone agrees but on the objective scoreboard, Toyota and Lexus edged out competition when all points are tallied.

[@nyballer31]

rdx a spec is a good looking vehicle it just badly needs a performance package to go with its styling

[@SaifTheKnife]

Lol, love the outtakes. You keep it 💯%, Bro!

[@Painfulwhale360]

I saw a R-Spec RDX the other day and I was pleasantly surprised how good it looked!

[@roscoew1257]

I own the 19 rdx aspec and my brother owns the 17 nx f sport. The trunk space on the rdx is def much bigger than the nx. Drive wise, we both agreee that rdx is more fun to drive but nx is a little more comfortable but boring to drive. Infotainment, 19 rdx hands down wins over the nx. Personally, we both prefer the rdx over the nx.

[@DanLee70]

The RDX has better styling, I agree with the reviewer.

[@dealman3312]

Just drove an NX like this yesterday. I was hoping for a sporty feel but it was evident to me that id become bored of the vehicle. On the RDX front, I’ve only driven a 2012 and it was much more fun and driver focused than the NX

[@RomaneMaticaliseGordon]

The 2.0T in the RDX sounds good for a four cylinder

[@allbaugh04]

Awesome review, LOL love the outakes at the end....Wow, everything looks better about the RDX. The Lexus looks down right cheap in comparison to that RDX interior. How does the RDX ride? How does it handle broken roads and pavement? I've been looking at the NX for a long time and I think I've changed my mind. I do have an 07 TL and have loved Acura ever since. I just wanted to give Lexus a chance, but I don't think that's going to happen.
