If you’re shopping for a luxury SUV near Wilkes-Barre, PA, chances are you’re thinking about visiting MotorWorld Acura and buying a 2017 Acura RDX near Mountain Top, PA. By way of comparison you might also be considering similar vehicles – for instance, a 2017 Volvo XC60. Which model is best for you? Let’s review each SUV’s characteristics and see where things fall.
2017 Acura RDX
- It’s single, five-passenger trim is well-equipped with standard features, and there are three loaded options packages to consider
- Boasts a standard V6 engine rated at a muscular 279hp and 252 lb-ft of torque and possessed of top fuel economy. Also, all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional.
- When outfitted with every available option, the value-laden 2017 Acura RDX is comparative in price with the entry-level versions of its main competitors
- Excellent visibility, huge cargo area, abundant legroom
2017 Volvo XC60
- Offers two engine choices, but only the higher-level trims come with an engine as robust as the 2017 Acura RDX model’s standard power plant
- Well-earned reputation for safety, though its advanced protective features come with a higher price tag. Contrarily, the 2017 Acura RDX can be outfitted with the AcuraWatch Plus package, which includes comparable technologies like lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning, but at a more affordable cost
- Steering and handling are commendable, but isn’t quite as agile as the 2017 Acura RDX, or most other compact luxury SUVs
The friendly dealers at our Acura dealership serving Scranton, PA believe both of these vehicles are well-constructed and well-equipped. However, the 2017 Acura RDX gets our vote due to its impressive standard V6 engine, its exceptional cabin, and its premium equipment, all of which come at a lower price than a comparatively-equipped 2017 Volvo XC60.
