Telluride vs ‘20 Acura RDX

[Average Joe]

Has anybody done an analysis of the Telluride vs the ‘20 RDX SH-AWD in terms of value/features? I found a certified pre-owned ‘20 RDX SH-AWD for $33K with <10K miles. Just wondering how it compares to the Telluride LX, S or EX in terms of a value proposition? I think the Telluride is nicer looking and obviously larger/3rd row, but looking beyond that to the best value, features, reliability, resale down the road, etc., at the lower trim levels.

Really hard to compare two cars in very different sizes classes and then complicate it further by new vs used. At MSRP, the RDX is a good overall value, but not the slam dunk value of the Telluride, especially in the lower trims.

Boils down to whether you need a big, comfy, 3-row vs. a much better-handling and sportier but much smaller 2-row. And how much you value buying new vs used.

Consumer reports gives the RDX a score of 61 vs telluride's 92. Never drove one though. Good luck.
