Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus GX 550 than in the Acura ZDX, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Lexus GX 550 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Acura ZDX, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

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). Whether you pick the Acura ZDX or the Lexus GX 550, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Acura ZDX is much slimmer than the Lexus GX 550, 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 Lexus GX 550.

Powertrain
The Acura ZDX has much lower torque than the Lexus GX 550, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
