It is a crowded SUV market out there. None more so than the Luxury SUV segment. It is dominated by German brands such as BMW with their X3. But how well does the Acura RDX compete against the BMW X3?

The Acura RDX is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine that produces 272 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Compared to the 2.0L turbocharged engines offered in the German brands, this one is more potent. This particular BMW X3 is the plug-in hybrid variant. This BMW X3 30e slots in between the base X3 30i & the more powerful X3 M40i. This 30e utilizes a 2.0L turbocharged gasoline engine along with a starter/generator sandwiched in between the engine and transmission for extra power or electric driving. The total system output is 288 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque (215 kW & 420 Nm).

The 2021 Acura RDX A-Spec is rated for 11.3 L/100km (20.8 mpg) in a city and 9.1 L/100km (25.8 mpg) on a highway. During my time with the BMW X3 30e, I averaged 6.3 L/100km (37.3 MPG). That’s very good for an SUV that tips the scales at 2 tonnes.

The mid-level 2022 Acura RDX A-Spec trim costs $52,600 CAD ($47,150 USD). That is roughly the same starting price of the BMW X3 and a bit more than the starting price of the Mercedes GLC 300. However, this being a mid-level trim, you’re getting more features for your money.

With the BMW X3 30e having a starting price of $59,990 CAD ($49,600 USD), you’re basically paying for a luxury plug-in hybrid SUV with heated seats, heated steering, LED headlights, parking sensors, backup camera, and auto dimming mirrors to name a few.
