Performance

How your vehicle drives is one of the most important factors when choosing your next ride. A drive with enough power gets you where you need to go and lets you have fun doing it.

The Acura RDX has a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine under its hood, which delivers 272 horsepower. It's your only engine option for the RDX.

The Genesis GV70 has two engine options, both more powerful than the RDX's engine. The standard engine is a 2.5L Turbocharged I-4 engine with 300 horsepower. For even more power, you can select the available 3.5L Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine with a whopping 375 horsepower and standard all-wheel drive.

Technology Inside the Cabin

Technology is a big part of the GV70 and the RDX. Both offer standard infotainment systems that let you use your smartphones, access navigation, and more while you're on the go.

The GV70 and RDX's infotainment systems also come standard with voice recognition, so you can do it all hands-free. In-vehicle navigation also comes standard with the GV70, something you must add to the RDX.

When you need to read something off the infotainment system's screen inside your SUV, you'll have an easier time with the GV70, which has a 14.5-inch infotainment system screen, while the RDX's is only 10.2 inches.


Safety and Driver-Assist Features

Safety is a huge component of driving. Both the Genesis GV70 and the Acura RDX have suites of driver-assist and safety features. These features help prevent accidents and keep an eye on the road. Some features they both have in common are:

  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
  • Traffic Sign Recognition

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist helps detect potential frontal collisions and warns you. If needed, your SUV can even apply the brakes.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist keeps an eye on your blind spots while changing lanes. It can even warn you if a vehicle is in one.

Traffic Sign Recognition helps keep an eye out for important traffic signs while driving. It then can relay that information to you, so you never miss a thing.

The GV70, however, also has Driver Attention Alert. This system senses distracted driving , warning you of it so you can pay more attention or take a break.

Which Luxury SUV Takes the Cake?

While both the Acura RDX and the Genesis GV70 are great SUVs in their own rights, comparing their performance, interior technology, and safety features makes it clear that the Genesis GV70 is superior.
