CR-V vs. RDX: Starting Prices

If you want to compare a model from the luxury segment against a standard crossover SUV, it makes sense to start with starting prices. As you can see, the Honda CR-V starts significantly lower across the trim level lineup.

2021 Honda CR-V trims range between:

• 2021 Honda CR-V LX FWD: Priced at $25,350 MSRP*

2021 Acura RDX trims range between:

• 2021 Acura RDX Standard FWD: Starting at $38,200 MSRP
• 2021 Acura RDX Advance Package FWD: Starting at $46,000 MSRP

CR-V vs. RDX: Power and MPG

The Acura RDX has been designed with track-like performance at the core of its identity, so it naturally packs more power than even the spirited CR-V. You’ll make:

• Up to 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque with the CR-V.
• Up to 272 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque with the RDX.

However, the CR-V makes more sense for most drivers thanks to its considerably stronger efficiency ratings. You’ll make up to an EPA-estimated:

• 28 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway with the 2021 Honda CR-V LX FWD CVT**
• 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway with Acura RDX Standard FWD
