Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Acura RDX than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The Acura RDX will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

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 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura RDX is much slimmer than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Acura RDX is slightly shorter than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport 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 Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Acura RDX and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.
