Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wagoneer than in the Acura RDX, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Acura RDX and the Jeep Wagoneer.

Convenience
With the Jeep Wagoneer, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Acura RDX, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). Clearly, the Acura RDX is a better financial choice over the Jeep Wagoneer, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura RDX is much slimmer than the Jeep Wagoneer, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Acura RDX, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Jeep Wagoneer.

Handling
The Acura RDX has a larger turning radius than the Jeep Wagoneer, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wagoneer is clearly the choice over the Acura RDX for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Acura RDX has a lot less horsepower than the Jeep Wagoneer.

Powertrain
The Acura RDX has much lower torque than the Jeep Wagoneer, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
Soccer Moms beware - the Acura RDX seats a lot fewer people than the Jeep Wagoneer.
