Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Cadillac VISTIQ than in the Acura RDX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Cadillac VISTIQ will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Acura RDX.

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 Cadillac VISTIQ, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura RDX is much slimmer than the Cadillac VISTIQ, 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 Cadillac VISTIQ.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Cadillac VISTIQ is clearly the choice over the Acura RDX for pulling heavy loads.

Utility
The Acura RDX has less seating than the Cadillac VISTIQ, making the Cadillac VISTIQ the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
