2023 Acura MDX vs 2023 Cadillac XT6


The 2023 Acura MDX and the 2023 Cadillac XT6 are popular luxury options, and both have functional and aesthetic features that appeal to midsize SUV drivers. Which is the better choice? Here's a comparison of their essentials to help you decide.


Trim Levels

2023 Acura MDX drivers can amp up the attractive base model by adding the Technology, Advance, A-Spec, Type S, or Type S Advance package, each one expanding on convenience, comfort, and technology. The 2023 Cadillac XT6 line includes the Luxury base model and two others: Premium Luxury and Sport. While the XT6 allows for some customization, the MDX has a broader range of optional selections.




Performance

The 2023 Acura MDX exceeds the 2023 Cadillac XT6 in power, too. The MDX delivers 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque at all trim levels except the Type S and Type S Advance, which generate 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. All XT6 models fall significantly short in this category, with even the Premium Luxury and Sport models maxing out at 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque.




Interior Features

The 2023 Acura MDX and 2023 Cadillac XT6 share certain luxury features, including 3 rows of seating and heated adjustable driver seats with lumbar support. The XT6 is notably roomy, but the cabin has a more basic appearance and lower-grade technology than you might expect for the price. Its sleek interior, complete with sophisticated technology like an intuitive infotainment center, makes the 2023 Acura MDX our overall winner in this matchup.
