Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura ZDX offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Volvo XC90. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Acura ZDX and the Volvo XC90.

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 Volvo XC90.

Dimensions
Since the Acura ZDX is much slimmer than the Volvo XC90, 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 Volvo XC90.

Handling
The Acura ZDX has the same turning radius as the Volvo XC90, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Volvo XC90 is clearly the choice over the Acura ZDX for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Acura ZDX greatly out-muscles the Volvo XC90.

Powertrain
The Acura ZDX has much lower torque than the Volvo XC90, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Acura ZDX has less seating than the Volvo XC90, making the Volvo XC90 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Acura ZDX as you will in the Volvo XC90.
