Comparison Review

Comfort
The Acura MDX offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, with comparable head- and legroom. The Acura MDX offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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). Clearly, the Acura MDX is a better financial choice over the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura MDX is much slimmer than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Acura MDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport is clearly the choice over the Acura MDX for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Acura MDX has a lot less horsepower than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Powertrain
The Acura MDX has much lower torque than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Acura MDX offers greater seating capacity than the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
