The RDX is the best car in its class

It’s stiff competition with the q5. Price it blows everything out of the water

[@user-vr8nl9my5j]

I would choose RDX.

[@BovDrives]

It’s stiff competition, but I think Acura beats Audi feature for feature value. The Audi does have a plug in and performance option where as Acura does not

Another huge difference... the Acura will be on the road long after the last nut rots off the Audi.
