| 2020 Discovery Sport | 2021 Acura RDX | |
|---|---|---|
| Drivetrain | 4WD | FWD |
| Maximum Towing Capacity | 4,409-pounds | 1,500-pounds |
All-Terrain Ability
For starters, the 2020 Discovery Sport is designed to be an all-terrain adventure SUV, something that the Acura RDX cannot offer from its basic construction. With standard four-wheel drive, terrain management systems, an underbody camera, ground clearance of over eight-inches, a wading depth of up to 23.6-inches, and much more-this vehicle is truly designed to take on anything.
Luxe Features
Inside, the 2020 Discovery Sport utilizes extremely luxurious interior materials and features that are both refined and futuristic. Some of these perks include a fully digital center stack display with ultra-customizable dual climate control, a fully customizable gauge cluster, and more. The Acura RDX offers competitive tech integration but lacks the effortless luxury of sustainable leathers and cloths and fully touchscreen everything.
Engine Options
The Acura RDX only offers one engine option that tops out at 272-horsepower and 280-pound-feet of torque, while the 2020 Discovery Sport provides two options. The more powerful of the two offers 286-horsepower and 295-pound-feet of torque and can tow 4,409-pounds. If you're hoping to tow with the Acura RDX, you're only getting a maximum towing capacity of 1,500-pounds.
To sum things up, the 2020 Discovery Sport provides agility and all-road options with the choice of two engines and a tech-oriented interior that knocks effortless luxury out of the park. You won't find this height of ability or refinement with the Acura RDX.
