Porsche are known for their quality luxury vehicles, so it’s no surprise that the 2023 Porsche Macan and the 2022 Acura MDX are high-end vehicles, but how do they differ? If you’re thinking about investing in one of these models, it’s essential to take a close look at each model’s features, specs, and capabilities to decide which one will best meet your needs.
Let’s jump right in!
Design & Style
The two SUVs seem to share similarities in their exterior design language, with each of them having its unique front end and headlight cluster design language. But when it comes to the overall length, both seem to be far apart, with more than five inches separating them. For instance, while you may think that they are closer in size than they are, there is no denying that the 2022 Acura MDX is slightly longer than its German counterpart by over 10 inches and 11 inches longer than the 2023 Porsche Macan!
Aside from being comfy, using materials and design techniques that help you feel at home are essential when you’re spending more time in your car than in any other place. That said, both of these models have made a point of using natural materials throughout, whether that’s real wood or leather (or both). The combination creates a very welcoming environment and one that you probably won’t want to leave anytime soon. As a bonus, there are plenty of compartments to store all your gear, too—not just on top but also under seats and around door panels, so you can keep everything tucked away until it’s needed again.
Technology & Safety
Both vehicles offer driver assistance systems to keep you and your family safe on the road. 2022 Macan, with its rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, and lane-keep assisting, helps you drive more safely in heavy traffic conditions or harsh weather. While 2022 MDX has many similar features and a few extras like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning system, it’s worth mentioning that all advanced safety features work only if you have a smart safety package that costs more extra on your budget.
Performance
Both vehicles are provided with highly capable engines, though only when looking at their respective weight figures does one stand out from their competition. That vehicle is a 2023 Porsche Macan with a peak torque of 295 lb-ft @ 1800 rpm and a horsepower rating of 261 hp @ 5000 rpm. On the other hand, Acura MDX makes do with a lower horsepower output that’s still good for 295 horsepower @ 5500 rpm but with only 278 lb-ft of torque. Performance can be fairly similar between these two vehicles on a straight-line basis, even if their respective weights may make them feel different around corners and on winding roads in general.
The Bottom Line
For people looking for a luxury crossover with exceptional performance and handling, it’s hard to go wrong with either of these two models. But if you can afford to spend a bit more money, there are some significant advantages to choosing 2023 Porsche Macan over 2022 Acura MDX. For starters, we love that 2023 Porsche Macan offers a 2.0L one efficient, four-cylinder engine and another much more powerful six-cylinder engine that makes sense for those who want even more power out of their luxury SUV.
