Three-Row SUV Comparison: 2020 Acura MDX Vs. 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
Montclair, New Jersey, area motorists searching for a new three-row SUV have many options today, but one of the top choices remains a segment favorite: the 2020 Acura MDX. Acura’s stylish MDX is consistently a top-selling three-row luxury SUV, and it’s no wonder why. This premium automobile blends a spacious interior and impressive utility with dynamic performance and high-tech features to deliver the complete package.
With seating for up to seven occupants in its three rows, the 2020 Acura MDX is a bonafide family hauler. Still, it rewards the driver with a performance cockpit and sharp handling that’s unexpected in this vehicle segment. Acura continues to raise the bar for what a three-row luxury SUV can be. This is the plush and athletic mid-size SUV that all others are chasing!
The luxurious new MDX from Acura competes in a crowded segment with not only other luxury SUVs but crossovers like the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. Nissan’s mid-size three-row crossover also boasts 7-passenger seating and a versatile cabin, but it certainly doesn’t offer the driving dynamics or luxury look and feel of the Acura MDX.
SUV shoppers considering luxury models like the Acura MDX may also consider crossover SUVs like the Nissan Pathfinder that offer lower starting prices. However, once you shop and compare these two three-row vehicles and attempt to equip them similarly, you’ll discover that Acura’s 2020 MDX is not only a premium ride, but it’s value-packed, too!
At DCH Montclair Acura of Verona, NJ, we’re confident in pitting the new Acura MDX against anything the competition can muster. We encourage SUV shoppers to compare this top-selling luxury SUV to alternative options like the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder.
