As a huge Toyota/Lexus fan that has owned several 4Runners, Tacoma, Camry, and two Lexuses…I am now a proud owner of an RDX. Incredible vehicle!

I love Toyota’s but Honda’s win me over with included features in lower trims.

My girl was to get the RDX and I was supposed to get the TLX and while she was doing her paper work, I decided to test drive the RDX and changed my mind instantly lol. She has a blue RDX and I now have a black one 😄 we even got to pick them up on the same day.

this guy is GOOD. No cringey trying to be funny shit, and also made me confident enough in his knowledge that i didnt have to go look shit up after. Subscribed.

Im normally a Lexus Toyota guy but that rdx sounds a lot more suitable for me. I’m 6 3 and need space great review

2018 NX300 F Sport owner here....hands down the best vehicle I have owned....the new RDX wasn't out at the time of purchase....but at the time nothing else came close....and they have the cheapest cost of ownership over 10 years ...

I've started watching reviews on cars I have no plan on even buying simply because I love your reviews. You do great work!

Drove an 05 RSX Type-S in college - looking at these gauges warms my heart!

Just bought. RDX A-Spec. Black on Black. Greatest ride of my life. Watched every review you did on it. You are the go to guy for my reviews.

Phone answer: push left scroll wheel to the right. To hang up, push left scroll wheel to the left. Acura ftw

That Lexus front looks like Predators mouth opened.

Definitely the best and most comprehensive review I've seen. Great job

Great video man!!! I love this video!!! I definitely love the Acura RDX better than the Lexus NX!!! The Acura looks more sportier. I can't wait for your next video.

Dude. You are seriously one of the best car reviewers here in youtube. Very comprehensive and detailed. You point out stuff that most dont even care to mention. What you even memorize your technical specifications! Just a little bit of constructive criticism here, the photography/ videography can be improved by choosing an earlier time of day to shoot. The shadows on the car, lens glare, and the sun on your face would be gone and would make you more comfortable. Looking forward to nore stuff from this channel!

I remember seeing a NX in the airport several years ago when it first came out and I thought wow that's a beauty and I hoped I'd own one some day. A few years later I bought a RDX (last gen 3.5L V6), which I felt was much more powerful, more fun to drive, and practical. I now own a Jag fpace supercharged, but I still enjoy driving my old RDX.

Thanks for the great review. I’m adding the RDX to my shopping list.

Great review as always! You are among the top out here. I just purchased a 2019 NX 300 F Sport. It's an awesome SUV! The Acura is a very nice looking vehicle, but with the Lexus ranking so high for dependability and resale value for the F Sport, I chose it. $47,000.00 minus incentives, GREAT value. I have NO issues using the track pad for the infotainment system. To each is own, I guess.

You do the best reviews! Not missing any details. It’s been 5 yrs and ready for an upgrade. I look for your reviews. Thank you! Comparing NX, RDX and QX50.

Such a comprehensive comparison. I had to pause and like the video for your hard work.

Please more bloopers at the end Sofyan! I was laughing like crazy! Great review like always too!

2019 RDX Black (A-Spec Red) will be my next car

Good one. I’m picking up my Advance on Saturday. The left wheel controls the phone pickup or deny. Click the left control wheel right to answer a call. Click left to deny the call. I’ve been reading my owners manual. Lol

Both are great. But i would choose the RDX A-spec over the two.

Another great Redline video. Right after your outtake shot at the end there, KZfaq played a Mazda commercial… too funny!

Acura for me

Seems like dude is always biased towards Acura/Honda products. His mood actually shifted every time he discussed the Lexus.

I like the comparison style video. Well done as usual!

Very impressed with how smooth and seamless your information delivery is.

Great content! hopefully more comparison videos come out since it really helps car buyers make a more informed decision when it comes to purchasing cars. Keep it up Sofyan!

Acura: much bigger vehicle. Lexus: much bigger grille.

Thanks Sofyan for the review which I already watched several times. Finally decided to get the RDX over the NX based on your comprehensive review. Personally I like the NX's design/look but the RDX has so much more to offer.

You guys make great videos. Keep it up

R D X! I ordered that exact color Aspec.....

Okay. I have to say it- when you floored the NX, it sounded like a VW with a soundaktor haha. My sister has a non f sport NX. Nice car, definitely not super quick, but enough for what it is. The f-sports adjustable fake Intake sound just sounds so VW. Never noticed lol. Great video as always.

I love the fact you share your real-world fuel economy with us, it's informative that knowing EPA doesn't mean that much in real life normal driving

Just got an Acura RDX. Love it!!!

Love the Lexus design... has much of this overall wow hot futuristic and aggressive lines. Inside is like no other, again a signature design and quality in materials, comfy, practical buttons and screen elements ... lot of extras and accessories...

Excellent review. Acura RDX is the clear winner against the Lexus NX and it’s not even close. Not only does it look better, greater power, substantial space, advanced info system, luxurious features and just more organized at about the same price. Faults would be the floating Centre Console, button drive shifter and array of buttons, but in comparison this is still better than the Lexus offering. Category comparisons in order of preference: BMW X3, Audi Q5, MB GLC, Volvo XC60 & Acura RDX. Fantastic vehicle. A significant improvement from the previous generation, but falls short of the Europeans in luxury, driving and features. Definitely a vehicle to consider, watch the options better value with standard equipment, but it can get pricey with the options.

Love the out takes at the end!! Funny!

I really like the comparison videos. Thanks.

I still drive my 1st gen RDX and might pick up the new RDX a couple of years down the road

Neighbor has an RDX with the A-spec in white incredible car took it up to Mammoth did great in the snow.

Thank you for the very nice review. May I ask what camera equipment you are using for your videos?

Great review as always, but the camera work could use some improvement IMO

I love you're team and videos Redline reviews!

Just picked up me and the wifes new ASpec in white! LOVE THIS DAMN SUV!

Thank you for your review. More power! 😊

Lol, love the outtakes. You keep it 💯%, Bro!

I sell Lexus. I'd take the NX because of styling... If I had a customer who decided with the RDX over the NX, I would totally understand.

I would love to see the same comparison when a new NX gen comes out. That NX sort of dated with 4th year into production, this new rdx is by miles better than previous gen. To be fair this nx competed against 18 and prior rdx.

Great review dude, I agree with you I wish Acura offered a more powerful option, just I would like see you add your comments on passing on the highway, I have a second generation Acura MDX, and when I would like to pass that v6 engine delivers.

One of the problems at least here in Miami about the RDX is that anything that is related to the Honda Name is the frequency of thefts of parts of these vehicles especially now these days the Airbags.. It's just not worth getting into that headache .

Apparently, I'm one of at the few people here that prefers the Lexus NX. To each their own I suppose. I just like the styling of the Lexus better. I don't like the grill or the tail lights of the Acura as much. At least Acura got rid of that hideous beak grill for the updated RDX, but I'm still not a huge fan of the new grill. Yes, the Acura is bigger, but if I wanted to drive a bigger SUV, I'd probably get a Highlander or Pilot. I don't think it's really fair to say that the RDX blows the NX out of the water, because the NX is a very nice SUV, and is extremely reliable. Also, the NX design has been around since 2015. So you're comparing a 4 year old design with a newly refreshed next generation design. Also where I live, the Lexus dealerships are top notch facilities with great customer service. The Acura dealerships in my area are good, but not great. Before I bought my NX, I also test drove the RDX, and I preferred the NX. I have no problem if you think the RDX is a better SUV, but does it blow the NX away? No.

Like the word “ nomenclature “.. haven’t heard it in awhile.....👍🏻

Great review man.

You know you've got your target market right in your sights when you put SH-AWD, turbo, sport/sport+ drive modes, paddle shifters, and rev matching. In an SUV. Heck, I'd get one! The NX? Not so much. LOL at the end of the vid...story of my life on the road. Awesome review as always, Sofyan!

Great review Sofyan! Definitely would go RDX over the NX

Seeing the backup camera without that other space to include the 360 camera view, I feel like Acura should have just put the whole back up camera as a one screen type, rather than leaving it square with a blank screen next to it. If that makes sense.

Hey Sofyan! In order to answer the phone From the steering you have push the left scroll wheel to the left or right. Its annoying but the car review is great as always.

Awesome review, LOL love the outakes at the end....Wow, everything looks better about the RDX. The Lexus looks down right cheap in comparison to that RDX interior. How does the RDX ride? How does it handle broken roads and pavement? I've been looking at the NX for a long time and I think I've changed my mind. I do have an 07 TL and have loved Acura ever since. I just wanted to give Lexus a chance, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Toyota n Honda I've already driven the 2015 Lexus NX200t F Sport SUV twice. Drives great

Thanks for the reviews. Acura for the win for me. ☺️

Redline Reviews, I wish you'd do any update review of both of these vehicles for these same 2020 Models. I'm looking at both of these vehicles.

The first video I watched from you is one of those acceleration videos from the Xoquixxoqafxo channel. That was like eight years ago. It’s been a while. I was subscribed when you had the older V6 Accord. Haha probably one of the few most OG subscribers you have.

The RDX made a significant update to the previous gen than the NX. I wouldn't call the NX a significant update. I really like the NX front look but I think I would pick the RDX over the NX due to the technology and performance that Acura has to offer.

I have the NX300H. Slow but reliable and good gas mileage. I like the normal hand shifter.

To pick up a phone call on the steering wheel in the RDX, you toggle the left-scrolling-wheel (next to the volume button) to the right. To decline/hang-up, you toggle the same wheel to the left.

Good job! What camera and wireless microphone are you using? Than you!

I'm going acura for sure. The overall design and sportiness of it is what would sell it to me

Acura for the Win! Acura has truly improved over the years. Great review

I've been driving my 18' RDX around for about a month. I've found that my mpg is surprisingly higher when I drive on Sport Mode as opposed to Comfort Mode. Not sure why... Any input?

Great review still using this review for a 2020 purchase of either RDX or NX

17:01 for Acura RDX launch 21:10 for disappointing Lexus NX launch 💀

Thx for the video! After driving both I bought a brand new Lexus NX300!

Good job as always!

When are you going to do a review on the 2019 MDX a-spec blacked out edition????????

Why are you obsessing over full LCD display. just because the Germans offer them now every other premium/luxury maker has to? I really hope they stay analog with a lcd display in center like the Acura has.

IN MY OPINION I would like to take the NX rather than the RDX because: Honda/Acura known to have transmission problems :/ Toyota and Lexus are very safe and reliable and most of their cars won a lot of Top Safety Pick in IIHS I don’t mind about no apple carplay, I enjoy driving more and just listening to music. 😋 I also love the NX exterior and interior. The NX also gives me that “special” vibe about the car because of the size lol I just love lexus in general

I think it would be insightful if folks looked into the process of how each one is built such the materials used, how many quality checks are done from beginning to end, the paint process and how long it takes, how many welds are done to build the frame and how long it takes, how long it takes to build each one from start to finish, reputation and attention to detail, what each brand does to catch any potential problems after it rolls off the assembly line before shipping beyond someone looking at the vehicle, how many miles are on the vehicle when it arrives at the dealer, etc, and finally what the market says via head to head sales.

Great review

Acura wins this one for me. However, lack of power steering column is bad if you share the car with someone else.

Nice review. I wish more reviewers would mention fuel requirements like you did. That, to me, makes a big difference in a decision to purchase a car.

Thank you for posting this video. Quick question: in your video name you’ve posted the Acura RDX as 2019 model, however, at the begging of your video you said 2018 Acura RDX. Could you please confirm the year model for the Acura RDX in this comparison?

Which one requires less maintenance/better warranty?

I got the Acura RDX A-Spec in Apex Blue Pearl. Super attractive car! Definitely a head-turner! But overall, the ride, handling and power is simply amazing! The surround sound stereo system also was huge for me because I love to play my music all the time and crank the volume and it sounds incredible! I think Acura did an amazing job with the RDX!!

I actually like the design of the NX more. It’s shocking to say but I think the design, especially the face (gasp!) is actually more cohesive than that of the RDX which is just a collage of shapes in comparison. I do think the RDX spanks the NX in every other regard however, not surprising as the RDX is a brand new car and now is in its 3 generation and taking on the NX which is a first gen car and Lexus first crack at the segment. I haven’t finished the video, but I fully expect a win from the RDX. I’m sure in 3 years when the NX is redone it’ll beat the RDX as well, and the wheels on the bus goes round and round.

When you receive an incoming phone call the LCD screen will alert you. you use the left toggle switch left to answer or right to decline. Also use the toggle switch to end the call.

I am surprised that many reviewers mentioned Apple carplay and Android Audo on RDX, but no reviewer mentions that RDX support Wifi hotspot and technically you can subscribe to AT&T satelite so all your devices have Wifi on the go. It is a really useful feature for people who like to drive this car for outdoor activities outside of cities, since at least cellphone coverage in Canada is not that great. I got RDX A-Spec, and trying its 3-month free wifi hotspot service, absolutely love it. imagine you drive RDX in the middle of nowhere, but you still have Internet access!

I prefer Lexus over any brand!! It is super reliable

It doesn't matter if it's 18 or 20 inch rims for the turning radius. The overall diameter of the wheel is the same. You are either getting more rim or more tire sidewall.

As always, love your comparisons! I would really like it if you would give us a test of the sound system. I went from a Honda accord to the RDX for awd and also the sound system. I want a premium sound system when I shop for cars so showcasing the sound would be a nice touch to your reviews. Loved the bloopers at the end!!

You are good doing review. I like the Acura

It really depends on your lifestyle. RDX for those who want a sporty and fresh compact luxury SUV while the NX for a reliable luxury compact SUV. The RDX definitely is quicker and the NX is rather slow in its segment. Nonetheless, it really depends where you go anyways and how you drive your car. Freeway and long distance? RDX hands down. City driving? Either will work.

rdx a spec is a good looking vehicle it just badly needs a performance package to go with its styling

Sweet great comparing im shopping for a safe replicable used mid sized for my daughters first car - was leaning towards Lexus at first but now changing my mind, the RDX has more excitement where the Lexus’s just looks and reminds me too vanilla

Both luxury cars are great! Good job

I'd personally take the NX, but you can't go wrong with RDX either.

I wanted the new RDX A-Spec but 45k just wasnt in my budget. I ended up buying a 2015 Lexus NX 200t F Sport black with red interior. It's pretty much the same thing as the 2018 just doesnt have the 3Led bulbs up front, the big navi screen or cooled seats. But I bought it for $28k with only 25k miles. It definitely feels slow and the navi sucks. But I like how smooth it is and to me the F Sport grill looks badass and I like the rear of the lexus compared to the RDX. I'll just wait a couple of year for the RDX price to drop down and I'll be trading for sure. I wouldn't be able to spend 45k on either of these cars. But used it'll be worth it.

i love your reviews

Good review. Don't understand how 18 vs 20 wheels impacts turning radius? Wheelbase and steering geometry yes, but the size of the rims?? 🤔
