Is the Lexus NX 350h better than the Acura RDX used?

In general, the Lexus NX 350h is the better used buy if your priorities are fuel economy, comfort, and lower running costs, while the Acura RDX is usually the better pick if you want more power, more space, and a more engaging drive.

A simple way to decide:

• Choose the Lexus NX 350h if you want a quieter, smoother, more efficient SUV and plan to keep ownership costs down. As a hybrid, it should generally use much less fuel than the RDX.
• Choose the Acura RDX if you want stronger acceleration, a sportier feel, and typically more room for passengers and cargo.

For most used shoppers, the better value depends on what matters most:

• Best for MPG and comfort: NX 350h
• Best for driving fun and space: RDX
• Best upfront price: often RDX

What to verify before buying:

• the exact EPA fuel economy for the specific model year and trim
• cargo and rear-seat space for the exact generation
• full maintenance history, especially for the hybrid system on the NX 350h
• condition of AWD, tires, brakes, and suspension on either vehicle
