2019 RDX

Take your pick from four trims, each as charming as the next. The Standard, Technology Package, A-Spec Package, and Advance Package all boast a tilting/sliding panoramic moonroof, LED lighting, and a gloss black tailgate spoiler. The A-Spec Package has its own distinct dual exhaust outlets and front and rear bumpers, while the Advance Package sports rain-sensing windshield wipers for a clearer view and acoustic front side glass to reduce outside noise transfer to the cabin.

The 2019 Acura RDX is powered by a 2.0-liter engine featuring four cylinders, 16 valves, and a turbo aluminum-alloy base. This unit delivers an impressive 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, pairing nicely with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

This midsize SUV offers plenty of excitement under the hood. Optional Super Handling All-Wheel Drive delivers an excellent response with smoother shifting, seamless torque transfer among wheels, and reduced understeering for stability. In addition to MacPherson strut front suspension/multi-link rear suspension, the Acura RDX is equipped with reactive dampers and stabilizer bars to help lessen jostling over uneven surfaces. Fuel efficiency doesn't vary much between trims. In the Standard, Technology Package, and Advance Package, you can expect your Acura RDX to get as much as 28 mpg on the highway in front-wheel drive and 27 mpg in all-wheel drive. The A-Spec offers 1 mpg less on both fronts.

Enjoy plush styling inside the cabin, courtesy of sport seats with optional heating, 12-way power seats, and lumbar support. The Standard is equipped with leatherette-trimmed upholstery, while the Technology Package and Advance Package opt for premium leather-trimmed seating. The A-Spec kicks luxury up another notch with Milano premium leather seats and Ultrasuede-trimmed interior embellishments, plus 12 adjustable seat settings, sport pedals, and red ambient cabin lighting. Planning a road trip? You'll find everything you need for a successful ride. The Acura RDX seats up to five and has an underfloor storage bin in the back row and a variety of user-friendly multimedia features. These include an Acura Premium Audio System with SiriusXM satellite radio, an infotainment display with smartphone integration, and a 4G LTE mobile hotspot for internet access across several devices.

Despite your best efforts to keep your loved ones safe, there are some things you just can't control no matter how well you drive. This is why the 2019 Acura RDX is equipped with several topnotch features to help compensate. For instance, a multi-view rear camera with dynamic guidelines helps gauge your distance from nearby obstructions, while standard front and side-curtain airbags offer full-cabin protection. Keeping up with modern innovations is easy with the Acura RDX's driver-assist features. These include collision mitigation braking to help reduce frontal collisions, lane departure warning to keep you from drifting out of your lane, and vehicle stability assist with traction control and motion adaptive steering to keep handling on point.
