Comparison Review

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 ZDX will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Porsche Macan.

Dimensions
The Acura ZDX is a little wider than the Porsche Macan, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. If you go with the Acura ZDX, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Porsche Macan.

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

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Porsche Macan is clearly the choice over the Acura ZDX for pulling heavy loads. The Acura ZDX has a little more horsepower than the Porsche Macan.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Acura ZDX and the Porsche Macan. The Acura ZDX has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Porsche Macan.
