Toyota 4Runner vs. Acura RDX Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the 4Runner to the dealership as the Acura RDX. The Toyota 4Runner isn't much costlier than the Acura RDX as far as MSRP.

Utility
The Toyota 4Runner and the RDX can accommodate the same number of passengers. The Toyota 4Runner is a better choice than the RDX as far as transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of suitcases or sizeable pets. Towing is considerably more the Toyota 4Runner's forte than it is the Acura RDX's.

Convenience
You'll most certainly have to take the RDX for a fill-up more often than the Toyota 4Runner because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Toyota 4Runner offers a bit more head room than the Acura RDX, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Acura make it significantly more spacious for your passengers than the 4Runner.

Dimensions
The 4Runner is substantially more bulky than the RDX. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Toyota 4Runner than the Acura RDX because of its bigger tank. The Acura RDX and the Toyota 4Runner compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Toyota 4Runner and the Acura RDX definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Toyota 4Runner's engine is tremendously more sizeable than the Acura's. Remember that more massive engines may use more gas than smaller ones.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the 4Runner isn't quite as generous as the Acura RDX's.
