Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Acura RDX than the Kia EV6. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Acura RDX and the Kia EV6.

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 Kia EV6.

Dimensions
The Acura RDX is a little wider than the Kia EV6, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Acura RDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Kia EV6.

Handling
The Acura RDX has a larger turning radius than the Kia EV6, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Kia EV6 is clearly the choice over the Acura RDX for pulling heavy loads. The Acura RDX has a little less horsepower than the Kia EV6.

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 Kia EV6.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Acura RDX and the Kia EV6.
