Acura RDX vs Honda CR-V

Shopping for a well-rounded SUV often leads to comparing the Acura RDX and Honda CR-V. Both are favorites among drivers in Jackson, Ridgeland, and Madison, Mississippi, but we know only one can fit in your driveway. That is why our Acura of Jackson team is here to give you a look at both options so you can determine the one that is the best fit for your driving needs.

Inside the Acura RDX vs Honda CR-V

Step into the Acura RDX and you’ll immediately notice the luxurious drive that awaits. With available perforated Milano premium leather seats, GPS-Linked Climate Control, and open-pore wood trim, the RDX creates an environment that feels far more upscale than your typical SUV. The CR-V does offer a practical and comfortable cabin, while the RDX just elevates the aesthetics for those who prefer added first-class comfort.

There’s also no shortage of room. The RDX offers generous legroom and cargo versatility with 60/40 split-folding rear seats and a hidden underfloor storage compartment. The CR-V also offers a great deal of cargo space to haul all sorts of supplies.

Advanced Tech in the RDX vs CR-V

The RDX doesn’t just come with tech, it surrounds you with it. The standard 10.2-inch HD dual-content display pairs effortlessly with the True Touchpad Interface™, giving drivers a smarter way to interact with their content. Add in standard Amazon Alexa integration, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and available Acura Navigation with 3D View, and you’ve got an infotainment system that rivals other premium SUVs.

Another standout? The Acura RDX offers the available ELS Studio 3D® Premium Audio system with 16 speakers. It turns your daily commute into a front-row listening experience. The CR-V offers capable infotainment with smartphone connectivity and a 7-inch touchscreen display, but the RDX wraps every drive in immersive sound and tech that feels one step ahead.

Performance That Moves You

If driving enjoyment is part of your checklist, the RDX answers with precision. Powered by a 2.0L VTEC® Turbo engine delivering 272 horsepower, the RDX provides dynamic acceleration and agility that stands out. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and available SH-AWD®, it offers a more confident, connected drive. The SH-AWD® system is able to always monitor driving conditions and keep the right balance of power sent to the front and rear wheels for smooth, confident handling at all times.

The CR-V has long been praised for its efficiency and reliability, but if you want a ride that responds with more vigor and poise, the RDX is tuned to deliver just that. It strikes the ideal balance between smooth refinement and driver engagement.
