Is the 2005 Acura MDX more powerful than the 2004 Toyota Sequoia?

Question

if the mdx is stronger, why does the sequoia have a V8 engine?

i want to compare the YEAR 2005 MDX and not the newest/oldest ones. same goes with the sequoia. the YEAR2004 one because 2006/2007 has more power than 2004.

Answer 1

aren't they essentially the same car?

Answer 2

no, the ACURA MDX is 260 HP, the Toyota Sequoia is 282 HP

ACURA:
I know this says 253.
Engine: 3.5 L V6
253 hp (189 kW)
250 ft·lbf (339 N·m)
but they have bumped it to 260:

The Acura MDX has been a popular sport-utility since it was introduced a couple of years ago, being in short supply and commanding price premiums...some deleted...Its 3.5-liter V-6 engine gets a boost in horsepower to 260, up 20 from last year. Acura boasts it delivers V-8 performance with V-6 fuel economy. This year's MDX ... receives a new five-speed automatic transmission, a drive-by-wire throttle control and a recalibrated four-wheel drive system.

Toyota:
4.7-liter DOHC 32-valve i-FORCE V8 with VVT-i; 282 hp @ 5400 rpm; 325 lb.-ft. @ 3400 rpm

Answer 3

MDX is alot stronger then the sequoia..

sequioa only has a v8 becuz its a bigger SUV..a v6 wouldnt do justice

Answer 4

You can't compare a compact suv to a full size one its not the same its like comparing apples to oranges, you should compare the mdx to a lexes rx or a nissan murano.
