The Lincoln MKX and Acura ZDX have undergone a knock-down, drag-out battle, and only one made it out on top. An American icon and leader in luxury, Lincoln’s award-winning MKX crossover SUV trumps the competition with its class-leading horsepower, torque and remarkable fuel economy. These are only a few reasons why it is one of the most popular midsize sport utility vehicles at Arlington car dealerships and other select auto retailers across the nation.

When these two affordable luxury SUVs are compared side by side, the Lincoln MKX simply outshines the ZDX. With a winning mix of innovative features, ample cargo room and exhilarating performance, Arlington car dealers state that the MKX is a great vehicle option for families or single urbanites who require the utility of a crossover SUV. Below are just a few categories in which the Lincoln MKX beats out the Acura ZDX.

Car Comparisons: Lincoln MKX Vs Acura ZDX

• More overall power

Local Arlington car dealers like Grapevine Lincoln point out that the MKX offers consumers class-leading horsepower and torque, without sacrificing fuel efficiency. It produces 10 pound-feet more torque and 5 more horsepower than the Acura ZDX. And even with its powerful 305-horsepower V6 engine, the MKX AWD has an edge over the ZDX, offering slightly better fuel economy, as well as lower fuel costs because it does not require premium fuel like the ZDX does.

• Passenger and cargo room

In most cases, consumers in the market for a crossover SUV need a vehicle with more passenger and cargo space than your average car. If you are choosing between the Lincoln MKX and Acura ZDX, and space is a primary factor in your vehicle buying decision, Arlington car dealers say you’ll want to select the 2012 Lincoln MKX. With more head, leg and shoulder room than the ZDX, your passengers will be able to stretch out comfortably. Plus, rear seat passengers have the option to recline their seats, unlike ZDX rear seat passengers. The 2012 Lincoln MKX also has much more cargo room with its rear seat up, boasting 32.3 cubic feet of room over the ZDX’s 26.3 cubic feet.

• Payload and towing

Crossover buyers also often select midsize SUVs because they require vehicles with good towing capacity. In this area, the MKX continues to trump its competitor with a 3,500 pound max towing capacity. That’s well over the ZDX’s 1,500 pounds.
