You have a taste for the finer things in life, which is why you're considering two of the most popular premium SUVs in the nation: the 2022 Lincoln Aviator and the 2022 Acura MDX. To help you make your decision, we've pitted these sophisticated crossovers head-to-head in a battle over comfort, power, and luxury.

Comfort

Both the Acura MDX and the Lincoln Aviator offer three rows of spacious seating for up to seven passengers. The MDX gives front row passengers 38.5 inches of headroom in the front and 38.1 inches of headroom in the second row. The Acura crossover also offers 41.6 inches of front legroom and 38.5 inches of second-row leg room. However, the Lincoln Aviator is even more spacious, providing extra front and second-row legroom and headroom compared to the MDX. Additionally, the Aviator features an Air Glide Suspension that makes for a smooth ride - even over bumpy roads. The MDX does not.

Power

For those looking for a commuter vehicle, the Acura MDX's 3.5-liter V6 engine offers adequate power with an output of 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. If you want something that's more fun to drive, the 2022 Lincoln Aviator's two unique twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engines blow the MDX out of the water. The standard gas model boasts an output of 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, while the Nano electric hybrid model delivers 494 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque. Along with the fact that the Aviator's standard engine outperforms the MDX, the MDX doesn't even offer a hybrid powertrain to compete.

Luxury

In terms of luxury, the Acura MDX simply can't compete with the Lincoln Aviator's available premium features. The Aviator comes with Lincoln Co-Pilot360™, a suite of driver assistance technology meant to keep you safe on the road. The premium SUV also has a 28-speaker Revel® Ultima sound system, 30-way Perfect Position seats, and the unique Lincoln Embrace that greets you upon approaching the Aviator. You can even use your smartphone as a key to unlock the Aviator. None of these features are matched on the Acura MDX.
