2019 Volvo XC60 vs. 2019 Acura MDX

The 2019 Volvo XC60 is being chosen by car buyers in Manhattan for its wide array of technology and safety features to offer. This same is true when you talk of the 2019 Acura MDX. There are plenty of things to discover though in order to appreciate these cars, even more, as well as find out which is a better choice over the other.

Design & Style

When looking at how the maker has designed the 2019 Volvo XC60 on the outside, you will notice its grille assembly, 18-inch wheels, and its combo of LED headlights and taillights. It also made use of premium quality materials to construct its cabin. Add to that, there is ample space to seat up to five adults with much comfort.

Given a sporty look by its manufacturer, the 2019 Acura MDX is indeed one of those cars that you will love when you first see it. Inside it, however, you will be confused with how a supposed luxury car included plastic surfaces that are cheap and awkward to the touch. 

Technology & Safety

You will truly be mesmerized by how the 2019 Volvo XC60 proves that its long list of technology and safety features are all reliable. The nine-inch touchscreen is paired well for the functions of its infotainment system. There is support provided both for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto too. Safety features include automatic emergency braking after a collision, run-off road mitigation protection, and driver drowsiness alert. It also has Pilot Assist to keep you in track for semi-autonomous driving.

A combination of a lower seven-inch and an upper eight-inch touchscreen displays gives the 2019 Acura MDX some life for its infotainment system. Note, though, that it needs some time getting familiar with these two panels before you master how it can be used. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and road departure mitigation are among its safety aids.

Performance

Reaching a maximum of 290 horsepower, the 2019 Acura MDX seems to have proven its worth in terms of engine performance. When compared to the 2019 Volvo XC60, though, those numbers are nothing since this car can reach up to 400 horsepower when it comes to results. The XC60 also defeats the MDX in terms of fuel efficiency since the Volvo reaches up to 22mpg and 29mpg for city, highway driving. Fuel efficiency scores for the Acura is only up to 20mpg and 27mpg for city and highway driving.

The Bottom Line

The 2019 Volvo XC60 offers more than just a long list of reliable technology and safety features. It combines modernity and sportiness in terms of styling too. Add to that the fact that it has an engine that rakes scores in terms of power and fuel efficiency. All of these prove that it is a better SUV than the Acura MDX.
