The two other key players in our comparison are the 2023 Acura RDX and 2024 Audi Q3, both of which are similarly sized to the popular compact Lexus. But the similarities end there -- inside and out, the 2024 Lexus NX handily outclasses the Acura and Audi SUVs. Check out the detailed results of our findings below, then visit our Lexus dealer near Charlotte to compare theNX vs. RDX vs. Q3 specs yourself.

2024 Lexus NXPowertrain Comparison

Unlike the rivals profiled here, the 2024 Lexus NX offers Michigan drivers a roster of powertrains to choose from. These include a potent gas-powered option, a hybrid engine and a plug-in hybrid efficiency champion. These models are available under various NX trims, including the traditionally powered NX 250, hybrid NX 350h AWD and plug-in hybrid NX 450h+ AWD.

Depending on which model you choose, you'll enjoy anywhere from 203 to 304 horsepower. The latter figure easily bests the Acura RDX, while all options outperform the base Q3. It's a similar story when it comes to fuel efficiency: the conventional NX 250 gas engine gets up to 28 combined mpg, far better than what any Q3 or RDX trim can muster. This is why so many Charlotte Lexus fans who demand power and efficiency choose nothing less than a new NX.

2024 Lexus NXInterior Features Comparison

The 2024 NX interior is a master study in how to incorporate advanced technology with excellent ergonomics. Every switch and knob is perfectly placed, and all controls naturally support the large 9.8-inch central touchscreen infotainment system.

This Lexus connectivity system -- which can also be upgraded to a 14-inch touchscreen, well bigger than the screen sizes available in the RDX or Q3 -- offers several notable features, including a standard wi-fi hotspot. That's a perk you won't find in the 2024 Audi Q3.

As for safety? The NX features Intelligent High Beams, Road Sign Assist and more as part of the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, an equipment bundle that sets the bar for driver-assistive technologies. Consider this just further proof of how the 2024 NX is far ahead of its competition.
