The Acura RDX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Cadillac OPTIQ, with comparable 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 Cadillac OPTIQ.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Acura RDX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Cadillac OPTIQ.

Dimensions
The Acura RDX is about the same width as the Cadillac OPTIQ. When looking at overall length, the Acura RDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Cadillac OPTIQ.

Handling
The Acura RDX has a smaller turning radius than the Cadillac OPTIQ, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Acura RDX will do just as well as the Cadillac OPTIQ, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Acura RDX has a little less horsepower than the Cadillac OPTIQ.

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 Cadillac OPTIQ.

Utility
