Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura RDX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan ARIYA, with comparable head- and legroom. 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 Nissan ARIYA.

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). The Acura RDX is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan ARIYA.

Dimensions
The Acura RDX is about the same width as the Nissan ARIYA. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Acura RDX, which is slightly longer than the Nissan ARIYA.

Handling
The Acura RDX has a significantly larger turning radius than the Nissan ARIYA, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

The Acura RDX has a little more horsepower than the Nissan ARIYA.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Acura RDX does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan ARIYA.
