The powerful 3.5-liter i-VTEC® V-6 engine in an Acura RDX boasts an impressive 279 horsepower and 252 lbs.-ft. of torque, while the refined Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) system and low-friction technology create class-leading efficiency.
- The efficient front-drive RDX model employs an EPA fuel economy rating of 20 / 28 / 232 city/highway/combined, while the AWD model is almost just as efficient with a 19 / 27 / 22 rating.VTEC combined with Variable Cylinder Management enables cylinders to be shut off at cruising speeds to better highway fuel efficiency. Fuel efficiency is enhanced by lower-friction piston rings, the ability to run on lower viscosity oil and transmission fluid, and other friction-reducing features. All-aluminum construction, a hollow camshaft, and other weight-saving measures keep the engine lighter for even better handling.The Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system incorporates a precise balance of smooth and responsive operation by adjusting throttle sensitivity to different driving conditions. Access to the engine is more convenient with the addition of hood dampers this year that hold the hood up without having to use a manual strut.
The sophistication of the RDX interior starts with the plush feel of the seats, ergonomically designed to provide the support of a luxury sport sedan.
- The Technology Package features breathable perforated leather on both front and rear seating surfaces.
- Both front seats have dual-level heaters. Models with the Advance Package offer 3-level heating and 3-level ventilation on both front seats.
- The front seats are generously bolstered to keep you and your passenger secure during any type of driving.
- The ideal driving position is just a touch away with the 10-way power adjustable driver's seat.
- The driver's seat incorporates two memory settings, which also recall side mirror positions.
- In addition to the usual height and angle settings, there's a power lumbar adjustment in the driver's seat to keep you comfortable during long journeys.
- The front passenger can also experience personalized comfort with a 4-way adjustable power seat, which is upgraded to 8-way power on models with the Technology Package.
