2023 Acura RDX vs. 2024 Volvo XC60

Elevating your League City drives to the next level with a premium SUV? You’ve got plenty of options, including the 2024 Volvo XC60 and 2023 Acura RDX! But, if you can only choose one, the Acura RDX provides more cargo and passenger room in addition to more power than the Volvo XC60, despite the Volvo SUV being in its 2024 model year. Not to mention, you’ll enjoy all of RDX’s advantages at a lower starting price, and Sterling McCall Acura’s specials may even reduce the price more.

With that said, when you go for the RDX, you’re upgrading your driving experience without paying more than you need to. Get the full scope in the following new Acura RDX vs. Volvo XC60 guide!

Acura RDX vs. Volvo XC60 – Interior Dimensions

Both models are 5-seater SUVs, but one look at the cabin makes it clear they don’t offer the same amount of space. While the passenger dimensions are similar, the Acura model still provides slightly more room. As with the front headroom and the shoulder room for both seating rows. What’s most noticeable is the cargo volume: the 2023 Acura RDX has significantly more cargo volume than the Volvo XC60, whether you have the rear seats down or up. This means you can bring everything you need on the go, from what you’ve secured from a shopping spree to the kids’ sports gear and weekly groceries. Compare the measurements here:

2023 Acura RDX

• Cargo Volume Behind Second Row (Max): Up to 31.1 cubic feet
• Cargo Volume Behind First Row (Max): Up to 79.8 cubic feet
• Headroom (Front/Rear): 40/38 inches
• Shoulder Room (Front/Rear): 60/57 inches
• Seating Capacity: 5 Passengers

2024 Volvo XC60

• Cargo Volume Behind Second Row (Max): Up to 17.1 cubic feet
• Cargo Volume Behind First Row (Max): Up to 63.3 cubic feet

Acura RDX vs. Volvo XC60 – Performance

Another aspect that you’ll consider for your next vehicle in Katy is the performance. When we’re comparing the standard performance, the RDX already pulls ahead with noticeably higher specs despite being the more affordable pick.

While we do have to give props to the Volvo XC60 for having all-wheel drive as a standard feature, you can opt for the available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) on the base trim of the RDX. Shockingly, even if you choose the base trim with all-wheel drive, the RDX will still be more affordable than the Volvo, with a starting price of $43,950 MSRP* to be exact! Whether you want better handling on your The Woodlands drives or not, the Acura SUV just performs better than the Volvo one:

2023 Acura RDX

• 2.0L Turbo Aluminum-Alloy 4-Cylinder Engine
• 272 hp
• 280 lb-ft of torque
• Front-Wheel Drive
• 10-Speed Automatic Transmission with Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters

2024 Volvo XC60
