Comparison Review

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 ZDX is a better financial choice over the Porsche Cayenne, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Acura ZDX is a little narrower than the Porsche Cayenne, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the Acura ZDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Porsche Cayenne.

Handling
The Acura ZDX has the same turning radius as the Porsche Cayenne, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Porsche Cayenne is clearly the choice over the Acura ZDX for pulling heavy loads. The Acura ZDX has a little more horsepower than the Porsche Cayenne.

Powertrain
The Acura ZDX has much lower torque than the Porsche Cayenne, 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 ZDX and the Porsche Cayenne. The Acura ZDX has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Porsche Cayenne.
