When you're in the market for a new luxury SUV, settling simply isn't an option. You want everything without complication. It's what the luxury life is all about.
Acura understands this, that's why they built their vehicles to the highest standard specifications on the market. For example, let's compare it against one of the other leaders in the luxury market: Mercedes-Benz.
Acura MDX vs Mercedes GL
Life in the mid-size luxury crossover market is a crowded segment full of vehicles claiming to be the best in class. With all of the manufacturers competing for a piece of the pie, Acura always lands a solid right hook with their athletic stance, advanced technological amenities, and award-winning engineering.
The Acura MDX is a standout selection, and takes a different approach to earn its stripes. With a healthy sense of luxury and a reputation for holding its value, the MDX trumps the competition. See how it compares to one of its rivals, the Mercedes GL:
Savings Around Every Corner
The one thing everyone is out to get is a sweet deal, and it's clear that the MDX provides just that. Even though the two are easily compared when it comes to appearance and gas mileage, the Acura's price tag and amenities will have you salivating. Acura also insures that your vehicle will stand the test of time and miles, with a 72 month, 70,000 mile powertrain warranty, whereas the GL calls for 48 month, 50,000 mile powertrain warranty. So really, what's that high price tag providing you?
With a lightened frame, fine-tuned suspension, and increased aerodynamics, the MDX holds its top spot with agility and grace. On top of the substantial out-the-door savings, Acura provides you with the combination of a luxury vehicle worthy of a 5-star overall score from NHTSA, and a dynamic flair for the dramatic. Acura understands that circumstances change like the wind; that's why they equipped the MDX with 3,500 lbs. of towing capacity, while the GL highly discourages towing and lacks the versatility you crave from a crossover.
With the substantial price difference, one could assume that the MDX lacks the finer things in life. But the tech-laden features that garnish this SUV will leave you falling head-over-heels into the lap of luxury. Push-to-start ignition, satellite radio, LED headlights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror are just a few standard features that the MDX features standard that the GL does not, at least not without forking out more money. With the Mercedes' price tag boasting of some lavish lifestyle, you shouldn't have to question what the $20,000 price hike entails.
