Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura RDX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Ford Bronco, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford Bronco will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Acura RDX.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Acura RDX, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Ford Bronco.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Acura RDX or the Ford Bronco, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Acura RDX is a little narrower than the Ford Bronco, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Acura RDX, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Ford Bronco.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Acura RDX and the Ford Bronco.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Acura RDX doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Ford Bronco.

Utility
The Acura RDX offers greater seating capacity than the Ford Bronco, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
