There are cars that appeal to your emotional sign in cars
that don't and
then there's the Acura RDX occupies the elusive middle ground between passion
and practicality put it another way accurate
hit the sweet spot with the latest small SUV yeah even
the look at here's to this conservatively appealing approach saying goes
for the interior which peak is a simple yet elegant layout I'll
aided by supremely comfortable front seats high quality materials where accounts
and an impressively natural driving position out
back the rear seats provide plenty of legroom for most adults while a completely
flat floor affords true five-passenger flexibility when the rear seats
are occupied with redundant protoplasm they fold to expose over 77 cubic
feet of cargo space significantly more room than its Lexus Audi
BMW and Lincoln challengers where the RDX trails the competition however is
in the area of entertainment though it still makes use of actors contentious dual
screen entertainment platform the RDX incorporates a more simplified and therefore
less distracting interface in that unlike the MDX and TLX the climate controls
are separate from the touch screen where they belong we're
not fans of its placement the dash mounted rotary dial and surrounding controls
make it easy to control a cure is outdated application system but
enough about meddling multimedia let's get on to the good stuff believe
it or not it's actually kind of fun to get behind the wheel of an RDX but
not because it's some dynamic dynamo but
rather due to the manner in which virtually all of the functions with which
you come in contact work exactly how you want them to the seats are comfortable
and well bolstered without being intrusive and the armrests are sufficiently
padded and the same height yeah stared
into a corner the RDX is happy to play on straight stretches of payment the
ride is soft but not overly so and the cabin is noticeably quieter than that
of the Lexus an axe is an accurate is quieter than Alexis in this case despite
the absence of noise cancelling microphones res virtually every competitor
comes with a standard turbocharged four-cylinder engine every RDX
makes use of a 3.5 litre naturally aspirated v6 it turns out 279 horsepower and
292 pound-feet of torque combined with a smooth shifting 6-speed automatic you
already asked and ash from 0 to 60 in nearly six seconds flat well still
returning roughly the same combined fuel economy average and it's less
powerful rivals regarding the more important numbers only handful of small luxury
SUVs and even come close to the RDX is lengthy roster of standard features
you were still at the price for about thirty six thousand dollars including
destination fees the
Acura RDX is generously equipped with niceties like LED headlights and taillights
a 10-way power driver's seat back up camera moon roof and pass eventually
push button start and in our opinion that's all you really need a lot of
an extra few thousand dollars won't break the bank actor
will be delighted to sell you an RDX with all-wheel drive he
didn't ventilated front seats with driver seat memory a 10-speaker LS audio system
that could benefit from mid tone control in the actor watch safety sweet
comprised of adaptive cruise control automatic collision breaking and lane departure
mitigation seeing as the RDX tops out for other competitors begin luxuries
like four-way lumbar support heated steering wheel and a panoramic moon
roof are not available yeah well rounded as a term tossed around all too
much in the automotive world which isn't
fair to vehicles like the RDX that truly embody the designation because
here you won't find deal-breakers economic quirks or wildly overpriced
add-ons just a comfortable fun to drive small luxury SUV that's loaded
with value for dollar .
