NEW LUXURY SUV IN PHOENIX, AZ

As you can see in the table above, these two vehicles are neck and neck in many categories, but the 2020 Lexus NX manages to eek out ahead. It starts out with a slightly humbler price point, but still manages to get a superior maximum fuel economy. It also offers multiple engine options and scores an extremely impressive perfect reliability rating from J.D. Power.

The 2020 Acura RDX offers no engine upgrades, so buyers are stuck with the base offering. The infotainment system is also a bit of a clunky inconvenience to use. As this vehicle was redesigned for the 2019 model year, there’s no major exciting changes being added for 2020.

The 2020 Lexus NX gets new driver assistance features for the fresh model year that include pedestrian detection, bicyclist detection, and lane centering assist. The Mark Levinson Premium Sound System is also now available. Overall, this great value shines for being comfortable and spacious, packed with both cutting-edge features and plush interior materials.
