2016 Acura RDX vs. Its Competition

2016 Acura RDX
Mitch McCullough Mitch McCullough Editor

The 2016 Acura RDX is an easy vehicle to live with on a daily basis.

It's great for running errands and fits in well with a busy lifestyle.

The RDX represents a good value compared with the BMW X3.

Audi Q5 stands out for its excellent interior quality, choice of fuel-efficient engines, and ride quality.

The BMW X3 offers superior handling.

The Lexus RX is a bigger vehicle and rides more softly.

Quick Specs
7.8
The 2016 Acura RDX is a smooth and responsive crossover SUV; it’s easy to live with, as long as the back seat fits your passengers.
8.4
The 2016 Audi Q5 offers one of the greatest range of powertrain choices in its class, ensuring that almost anyone can find a version of this handsome small crossover to fit their tastes.
8.2
The stylish 2016 BMW X3 skips the ruggedness thing entirely and instead succeeds in being one of the sportiest and tech-loaded yet fuel-efficient compact crossovers.
8.6
As a tangential—and far more sophisticated—replacement for the GLK, the savvy 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a far better match for American wants and needs.
7.0
While it's not as fun as other VWs and the old design leaves it behind in terms of safety, technology and fuel economy, the 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan delivers on most of the important small-crossover promises.
8.8
The 2016 Volvo XC60 remains a luxury-SUV contender, though a plethora of powertrains and options can take the $36,000 base price well over $50,000.
