The RDX might lack the brand recognition its European rivals enjoy, but it remains the unrivaled choice when budget-minded shoppers are looking for a playful luxury compact crossover.
Leasing the 2023 Acura RDX won’t guarantee any new features absent on the 2022 edition, but you will always get a generously-equipped small SUV that is as practical as it is fun to drive.
Engine And Performance
Under the hood of every RDX is Acura’s conventional 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 272 horses and 280 lb-ft of torque. This punchy turbo-4 engine mates with a ten-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive. It propels the RDX from zero to 60mph in 6.2 seconds. The Acura RDX impresses with its agile chassis and impressive throttle response.
Compared to other Acura models, the compact RDX didn’t get a performance-enhanced Type S model, so shoppers who aren’t satisfied with the pep from the crossover’s four-cylinder can explore other options in the luxury compact SUV segment.
Fuel Economy
Front-wheel drive models of 2023 RDX achieve an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Upgrading to all-wheel drive drops both estimates by 1mpg.
Interior
We could use many words to describe the RDX’s dashboard, but minimalist is certainly not one of them. The RDX features many controls, but they are neatly incorporated into the crossover’s design. Though it may not feel as luxurious as most of its European rivals, the RDX interior’s build quality is applaudable, and there’s a myriad of high-tech features. Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, 12-way power adjustable seats with power lumbar support, leatherette upholstery, wireless charger, brushed aluminum trim, etc. Some optional features include perforated premium leather seats, heated rear seats, multicolor ambient lighting, a head-up display, etc.
Safety And Driver Assistance
The 2023 Acura RDX features an array of essential features that improve passenger safety and assist the driver in innumerable ways. Most of these features are provided on the entry-level trim, while you will have to opt for higher trims to enjoy the more advanced features. Highlights of the 2023 Acura RDX include;
- Forward collision warning system
- Lane departure warning system with lane keep assist
- Traffic sign recognition
- Traffic jam assist
- Collision mitigation braking system
- Pedestrian detection
- Adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow
- Surround-View camera system
- Front and rear parking sensors, etc.
