The compact SUV luxury market is fiercely competitive, with several worthy models attempting to make an impression. If you’re shopping for a vehicle in this category, you have likely come across both the 2024 Acura RDX and the 2024 Volvo XC60. Though both SUVs have a long list of features, Hall Acura of Virginia Beach shows how one provides a clear advantage upon closer examination.
Performance and Powertrain
One of the standout features of the 2024 Acura RDX is its base engine, which is a VTEC® turbocharged four-cylinder that cranks out 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission manages this power. Meanwhile, advanced torque vectoring gives you precision control around the tightest corners, even when you’re driving in adverse weather conditions.
The 2024 Volvo XC60 comes standard with a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain that prioritizes efficiency over performance. It falls short with 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Another performance-related advantage of the 2024 Acura RDX is its Integrated Dynamics System™. Drivers can choose from four driving modes – Comfort, Normal, Snow, and Sport – that keep the SUV ready for any conditions. The 2024 Volvo XC60 doesn’t have a comparable feature.
Premium Safety Technology
Every 2024 Acura RDX comes standard with AcuraWatch™, a suite of driver-assistive and safety technologies that improves driver awareness and mitigates impact severity. Though the 2024 Volvo XC60 also has some safety features, it is lacking the following features found on the Acura SUV, including Traffic Sign Recognition, which detects speed limit signs and displays the information on your dash and head-up display, and Road Departure Mitigation: which corrects steering when it detects that you are unintentionally departing from a lane or roadway.
