Model overview

The Acura RDX is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by Acura, Honda's luxury division. Initially, the RDX was made on the same platform Honda uses for its Civic and CR-V passenger cars. Beginning with its third generation, the Acura RDX is produced on its platform.

The RDX is a single model that can be equipped with several distinct trims from the standard front-wheel drive to all-wheel drive. The models equipped with the A-Spec package, have exclusive upgrades inside and out such as 20-inch wheels and red interior. Even though the visual enhancements look neat, the A-Spec setup is pricey and lacks any performance improvements. The Technology package, considered a good alternative brings a better audio system, built-in navigation, and fancier leather-trimmed seats. Furthermore, also incorporates front and rear parking sensors as well as a monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.

The RDX is equipped with an engine of 272-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder along with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The A-Spec reached from zero to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds.
