2019 Acura MDX vs 2019 Lexus RX 350L in Montreal

Since 1998, the Lexus RX has become one of the true benchmarks in the luxury mid-size SUV category. However, it has faced more and more competition over time. One of its fierce competitors is the Acura MDX, released in 2000. A true rivalry between the RX and the Acura SUV followed, but it is now about to end. Indeed, the latest iteration of the Lexus SUV, the 2019 Lexus RX, breaks all the previously known boundaries of its segment. Spinelli Lexus Pointe-Claire, your premier Lexus dealership from the Montreal West-Island, tells you why you should select the all-new 2019 RX 350L (the 3-row variant of the « standard » Lexus RX), over the 2019 Acura MDX!

The vision about how an SUV should look like is very different between Lexus and Acura, and you will see it at first glance when looking at the aforementioned vehicles. While the 2019 Acura MDX has a very conservative exterior styling with typical lines from its category, the 2019 Lexus RX 350L is much bolder. With its lozenge-shaped headlights, its large front grille that goes from the front bonnet to the bottom of the front bumper, its wide wheel arches, and its raked rear window, the Lexus SUV exudes sportiness and charisma on the road when you compare it to the curvier 2019 MDX. So, if for you an SUV must have athletic exterior lines, then the 2019 Lexus RX 350L, available at Spinelli Lexus Point-Claire, is for you!

Under the hood, these two SUVs have very similar powertrains. The 2019 Lexus RX 350L is powered by a 290-hp 3.5-liter V6, and the 2019 Acura MDX by a 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 with the same power output. In both cases, you will be able to count on an AWD system to drive with the utmost peace of mind on the roads from the Montreal West-Island or from Laval. However, when it comes to durability, you will choose the 2019 RX 350L, as it is covered by a 6-year or 110 000 km powertrain warranty (only 5 years or 100 000 km warranty for the Acura SUV). It is the same for the coverage against corrosion perforation, with a 6-year warranty for Lexus, while the one offered by Acura will cover you for 5 years only. Hence, if you want the best protection for you and your vehicle, the most logical choice for you will be the 2019 RX 350L and its incredible warranty! 

Inside, the two automakers chose once again two very different paths. Indeed, while the 2019 MDX interior is filled with curvy lines and features two screens at the center of the dash board, the 2019 Lexus RX 350L delivers a much more minimalistic cabin design. Lexus’ SUV also offers seven seats, when the Acura has only six. Moreover, you will experience all the latest Lexus technologies and comfort features during each commute between the Montreal West-Island and Laval. Indeed, you will be able to enjoy the heated leather steering wheel, two-zone air conditioning for the front seats and temperature control for the rear seats, cruise control, and a cutting-edge 12-speaker infotainment system with a 12.3-inch color screen. Hence, you will travel with all the comfort you need when driving your 2019 RX 350L!
