2026 Genesis GV70 vs. 2026 Acura RDX: Which Compact Luxury SUV Shines Brighter?

At Genesis of the South Shore in West Islip, NY, we believe a compact luxury SUV should be both posh and practical - exciting your senses while also offering a wealth of convenient tech features. The 2026 Genesis GV70 is gorgeous inside and out, and it's packed with handy amenities that enhance your driving experience. The 2026 Acura RDX is also a compact luxury crossover, but it can't match the opulence or technology of the GV70. We proudly present the following comparison to help you choose between these two SUVs.

Interior Quality

Climb inside the 2026 Genesis GV70 and you're treated to soft-touch and upholstered surfaces in every direction, with metallic and carbon-fiber accents providing eye-catching contrast. Base models have synthetic leather seating, but 3.5T Sport Prestige trims come with premium Nappa leather upholstery. Dix Hills drivers will like the synthetic suede headliner in this range-topping GV70 model.

The 2026 Acura RDX has a gray and black interior color scheme in all but the Advance models, which have light gray furnishings. Its plain design does not provide the sumptuous look and feel that you get with the GV70.

Infotainment Technology

A good infotainment system makes long commutes to Babylon more enjoyable. The 2026 Genesis GV70 has a high-tech, feature-rich unit with a 27-inch OLED display that houses the touchscreen and a digital gauge cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with navigation are standard. Higher trims include a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.

The 2026 Acura RDX comes standard with a 10.2-inch infotainment screen and a 7-inch digital driver display. A navigation system is available in the RDX, but you must upgrade to the RDX Technology package to acquire it.

Safety Tech

The safety of you and your family is critical, and the 2026 Genesis GV70 takes it seriously. Six driver assistance features are standard in the GV70 to help you avoid accidents in Brentwood, NY, including Blind-spot intervention, which automatically steers the SUV back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in your blind spot.

The 2026 Acura RDX comes with five standard driver aids. Blind-spot intervention is not available.

Performance

The 2026 Genesis GV70 offers you a choice of two engines to get the power or efficiency you prefer. The base turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 300 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. For easier passing or highway merging in Lindenhurst, NY, a twin-turbocharged 375-horsepower V6 is available.

The 2026 Acura RDX only offers one engine. Its turbocharged four-cylinder powerplant only generates 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque.

Convenience

The 2026 Genesis GV70 comes standard with a hands-free liftgate for simpler loading when your hands are full. Bayshore, NY drivers appreciate that it opens automatically when they stand by the tailgate for three seconds with the key fob in their pocket or purse.

The 2026 Acura RDX also offers a hands-free liftgate, but you must add the upper-tier Advance or A-Spec Advance Package to get it.
