Comparison Review

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

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Acura MDX as you will with the Chevrolet Tahoe, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 MDX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Chevrolet Tahoe.

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

Powertrain
