Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Acura RDX than the Toyota Venza. The Acura RDX will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota Venza.

Convenience
With the Toyota Venza, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Acura RDX, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 RDX will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Venza, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura RDX is much wider than the Toyota Venza, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Acura RDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Venza.

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

Performance
The Acura RDX has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Venza.

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 Toyota Venza.
