    I did pick the 2022 RX350 (my 5th RX) for several reasons :
    1. Reliability
    2. Resale value
    3. Luxury cache (which is important to everyone who would consider one of these, bc if not you'd buy a Telluride or a Palisade). Rarely has anyone ever been asked 'is that YOUR Acura?!' Ive heard it many times as a Lexus driver.
    4. Value for the dollar, as evidenced by the price comparison here.
    5. Unparalleled, world class customer service.
    6. Also,motorized, heated/ventilated rear seats, and rear sunshades are options available on the RX.

      You did the good choice, i was looking to buy the MDX 2021 but they have lower resale value and reliability than Lexus. So i ended buying an used 2020 Lexus GX460 at the same price of the new MDX. Just take a look at the resale now, the used 2021 MDX worth much less than my 2020 GX.

I haven't touched my screen much in the car I've had for 4 years, so not having a touch screen in the MDX is not a deal breaker for me. I love the Android Auto and the Google Assistant; I will speak. I love the PANARAMIC SUNROOF...hands down. I test drove the MDX ...there is no physical difference (I could feel) in the drive. I am a tech gal...so having the cabin talk in the MDX, which is a larger vehicle, is a plus.

      @hon solo Yes, I know that, Lexus is known for its comfort and has the quietest drive, including its reliability in the premium brand class (luxury brand). However, Lexus is more concerned with the two things above than about engine performance, yes it makes sense why they are famous for machines that have high reliability, because engines that produce higher power will shorten the life of the engine (the engine is more stressed), brand brand Europe, especially from Germany, has a weakness in the reliability section because they include new advanced technology but once damaged it will grab onto other devices as well, that's the reason why their service costs (replacement of their new parts) are more expensive, because they push the engine performance so that it lasts longer. the engine is also shorter

    Previously had a 2021 RXL hybrid (had issues with it and returned it), now getting a 2022 MDX. The RX is bound for a refresh, hopefully we see it next year, however, the interior quality itself slightly gets a better edge to the MDX. Just slightly. However, I feel like Acura really offered more features standard than the RX, and there’s just overall more space in the third row. It’s not significantly larger, but the floor is definitely a bit deeper and there’s a little bit more room where your legs may not touch the second row seats. It’s not amazing but definitely way better than the RXL. I’d say for now the MDX seems to offer a better value.

      @@elitechen5918 I'd say both cars have their own touch to their design. I think this year's MDX has definitely stepped up to previous generations (I was never a big fan of the van-like design of previous generations), and the RX in general has a more timeless design that doesn't appear old due to their sharper edges. In the end regardless of vehicle class, I'd get an IS because those look really sweet.

    I did the comparison & purchased the RX350 (luxury package) loaded out. I like the fact that the RX has a NA V6 engine and a bullet-proof 8-spd transmission. When you compare similarly optioned vehicles, you can see why the RX is by far the best selling crossover in this segment. Personally, I really like the RX's pano sunroof, HUD display, the Mark Levinson sound system, Semi-Aniline Leather seats, full LED lights, 8.2" ground clearance, superior reliability and on and on... Remember, neither of these 2 are a track monster.

    Hello Car Confections. Good comparison video between the 2022 Acura MDX and the 2021 Lexus RX 350. The MDX clearly won this comparison. More updated interior and more spacious. Lexus needs to release the next generation fifth generation RX 350 and RX 350L either sometime later this year or sometime next year. This new generation MDX got released earlier this year back in February, the new generation Infiniti QX60 will be out very soon. So, that means Lexus needs to do something. In a upcoming vehicle comparison video maybe you guys can do a three way comparison between the Acura MDX in the Advanced trim, new generation Infiniti QX60 in the Autograph trim and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim. That would be great if a three way comparison is done because if it's done I think you guys might be the first to do it on a You Tube channel. If it can't be done, then the Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim vs Acura MDX in the Advanced trim. After that the Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim vs Infiniti QX60 in the Autograph trim and then the Acura MDX in the Advanced trim vs Infiniti QX60 in the Autograph trim. Very interesting matchups.

I love everything about the MDX, except for when I look at the exterior and reminds me of an Odyssey van. I have kids but I do not want to settle for a mom-mobile looking car.

I've had a MDX 2.5 years and still have trouble parking it. 2022 mdx does not have a touch screen while the rx does. We plan to turn in our mdx after the lease is up and buy a 2020 rx.

    The regular RX 350 and the luxury RX 350 are like two completely different vehicles. With the added options in the RX 350 that make it a luxury package, add around $15,000 to the price… but it’s a huge difference in terms of interior looks.

    Well, I test drove both of these recently (July 2021). The MDX is more lively, handles better and the interior is fantastic. The RX is allot more subdued, but is a little quieter and smoother. Ya, the interior while excellent quality in the RX, feels dated. Doing more research I have come accross the Acura and Lexus histories for reliability and Lexus wins in that category hands down. The MDX model refresh is new and we can't know if the infotainment and transmission will be trouble free, but all reports suggest the Lexus is bulletproof in that regard. I also found the use of the MDX infotainment touchpad to be not as bad as I thought and now, would not consider it a deal breaker any longer. Issue for me now is reliability may be a question mark with the MDX.

      @@tiberius_akh Hey Andrew - Haven't yet. I'm in a very fortunate position where I have little bit of time before I will have to get a car. Anyways, I have yet to have a 22 MDX Type-S made available for a close up look and drive. Dealer in my area has stated the Type-S isn't expected at dealers until the first quarter of 2022. I want to drive one before I make a final decision, as the extra power in the Type-S is of strong interest to me. It's a tug of war for me at times, as in I really want above average reliability, good in snow, but also performance too. Moreover, all this waiting has allowed closer looks at the competition for me. For example, the Genesis GV-80 is beautiful, but with less pedigree than Acura and Lexus, hard sell for me as I'm much less of a risk taker than when I was younger lol. Similarly, the BMW X5 X Drive 40i has made me quite fond of their product. But as I keep my vehicles for about ten years, that could get inconvenient and quite costly (for me anyways) as out of warranty BMW's can be more expensive than their Japanese competitors according to my research. What could complicate things, is there is talk Lexus is releasing new models soon, including a new design for the RX. I'm at my ten years for my 2011 Highlander which has been a very satisfying and reliable experience. I don't think I'm brand loyal per say, but I'm quite certain I won't deviate from a Honda or Toyota product, simply for peace of mind. I'll wait and drive the Type - S, if I feel the drive is worth the extra dough I won't need more than a brief cup of coffee to think it over.
      How about you?

      @@tiberius_akh That sounds about right with my experiences. I didn't get any mark up over list when I got quotes, but with the state of things, I guess that's how some dealers wanna play it. I went to a Bimmer dealer today with a friend. These are very nice cars, in almost all respects an upgrade over their Japanese counterparts. However, even the sales manager told me it's best to enjoy a BMW while still under warranty. Leasing is recommended, unless of course you have very deep pockets. I think that alone leaves me out for a BMW as my conservative penchant for reasonable reliability, at a reasonable cost long term (ten years) is too high a priority. Glad I looked and I can see why they fill a significant part of automobile sales overall, as they are pretty stunning. For me, it reinforces the idea of staying with a Honda/Toyota product and staying within my own realistic comfort zone. I hope that Type-S is released soon.

    considering the MDX low reliability rating and resale value ... absolutely Lexus is the big winner... Since inception Lexus made loud and clear that the reliability of the vehicle is the number one priority. Thats a major overhead when pricing Lexus. just measuring the cabin noise alone between MDX and RX gives you an idea of the amazing precision engineering of Lexus. I cannot believe how Lexus holds value that strong... being in auctions for 20 years and untill today NO ONE can beat Lexus in resale value... In my opinion people buy Lexus for this reason and newcomers to Lexus don't care about the handling stuff as much as they love the resale value of Lexus... It's not fun to drive a Lexus but the fact is Lexus can serve for so many years better than any car in the market.

Lexus and Toyota will always be "outdated" compared to other models but guess what they are one of if not the most reliable cars on the roads today. And for something that costs half of an average house ill take reliability over some quirky tech any day of the week.

    Not really a fair comparison since the RX hasn’t had a refresh or redesign like the MDX just did.

    Dealer buying experience between Acura and Lexus, Lexus is hands down have the most luxurious sales, service department, and perks of being a Lexus owner. On Acura you almost feel like you're just buying another Honda. On the vehicle, both seems comparable in cost, reliability, and features. Maintenance I would go with Lexus as it use timing chain than belt on Acura. Lexus is quieter and Acura is more sportier. With both being "Luxury" not sure why they still don't use 4-piston type caliper, they use it other F-Sport or Type-S vehicle.
