Lexus GX 460 or Acura MDX?
Posted on 2/23/22 at 4:50 pm

Need to upgrade to an SUV in a few months with an expanding family. I test drove the new MDX a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. Handled surprisingly well for its size. I can’t get my hands on a GX anywhere to test drive. Anyone have experience with both? Considering holding out until the GX gets a redesign, it’s hard to justify 13mpg right now but I’m concerned if they drop the NA V8 and put in a hybrid v6 it will lose its reliability. Looking for an suv that will last me 10 years 100k miles+

The Gx is a gas hog, but it will last forever

Bruh - these will both go for 20+ years with proper maintenance. The GX is essentially a rebranded Land Cruiser Prado.

Two totally different products. I am personally a big fan of the GX but the MDX is very competent nice offering.
If you are going for a 10 year car, GX all day. It's based on the Prado platform and used like rovers once were. Serious off-road third world stuff. It will ride a bit rougher. But it's a total brick house.
The MDX is basically a very large nice station wagon. It's a car-based chassis. Think super-mega-Accord and you're not wrong. I don't want that, but the Honda Accord is a really well-built car so nothing wrong there.

I got the MDX Type S. Man was that expensive. Too much grill plastic on a Lexus.

GX all the way.

I really want a GX 460.
I almost pulled the trigger on a couple of them the last few months.
I love my ES350 and I’d like to add another Lexus to my vehicle collection. Gotta get rid of this old Pathfinder too.

Why don’t you go test drive them yourself and make a decision like a grown-up

I’m in this exact market. I currently drive an MDX and have loved it. My only reason for considering the Lexus is size. The Lexus is a little wider but you don’t feel it necessarily once inside. I’ll probably end up with another MDX.

GX all day.
It's slow AF, gets terrible gas mileage and has the performance of a brick with wheels on it.
It's the best daily I've ever had. I love it.

The grill on that Lexus is atrocious.

Always had Lexus, loved them. But recently made the switch to Acura. The suv is not as luxurious as the Lexus, but it’s not far. Infotainment is vastly better. The biggest reason was the driving experience. The Acura offers a nice ride, and can be fun when in sport/sport plus modes.

Wow $65K+ OTD for the GX.
Man I would consider a Highlander, but I'm cheap. I got some family with one and its nice.

The GX is the best SUV on the market, and has been for 10 years now.

Wife has a 2013 GX. It’s a tank. Terrible gas mileage. Favorite car I’ve ever owned. Will keep it forever.

Get a 4runner. Its cheaper and almost just as good. You will easily get 10 years out of it.

The new Infiniti QX60 is a nice vehicle.

I’ve owned both. Didn’t have any issues with either one. The Acura drives like a car, while the GX drives like a truck. However, the GX was the better made vehicle and the one I would buy again (even with current gas prices).

Just bought a Type S MDX and highly recommend it. Drives smooth and the turbo V6 has a lot of power. The Lexus drives like a truck. Both are reliable though.

I had no idea a fully stock modern crossover could somehow have that bad of a gas mileage.
