Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura ZDX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Land Rover Discovery, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Acura ZDX and the Land Rover Discovery.

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 ZDX is somewhat more expensive than the Land Rover Discovery.

Dimensions
Since the Acura ZDX is much slimmer than the Land Rover Discovery, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Acura ZDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Land Rover Discovery.

Handling
The Acura ZDX has a smaller turning radius than the Land Rover Discovery, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Discovery is clearly the choice over the Acura ZDX for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Acura ZDX greatly out-muscles the Land Rover Discovery.

Powertrain
The Acura ZDX has much lower torque than the Land Rover Discovery, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Acura ZDX has less seating than the Land Rover Discovery, making the Land Rover Discovery the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Acura ZDX has less cargo space than the Land Rover Discovery, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
