5 Things That Make the RDX Great
Published Wednesday, 31 August, 2011 by Ashley Wood. Categories: New Inventory.
Acura has had a lot of success with the RDX since its launch because it has combined a smart mix of sport and utility within the SUV realm. This turbocharged 
engine with the breakthrough SH-AWD technology has put this vehicle in the spotlight and drummed up excitement for the upcoming 2012 models. Below are five reasons we have come to love the RDX so much at Proctor Acura:
1.) The Look: The exterior of the RDX is stylish, yet sporty - which can be rare for an SUV. The muscular body style offers large wheel arches, aggressive body sides and a distinct rear hatch the transitions to the rear of the SUV well. Men and women love the look of this vehicle, because it works for both and is exceptional looking.
The RDX is luxury all the way with leather trimmed seats, blue low-level ambient lighting throughout the car, a lockable dual-level center console, multiple storage compartments and much more make the interior so comfortable and nice.
2.) The Sound System: The RDX features a Premium Sound System with AM/FM tuner, 6-disc CD changer, MP3, WMA, XM Radio all of which come through the 7 speakers and 360 watt amplifier perfectly. The sound in this SUV is amazing and seamless, and it makes listening to any music or broadcast of your choice so easy.
3.) Technology: This SUV comes with a USB port and AUX jack connections for your personalized items that may include an IPOD, MP3 music player, or a removable memory stick. The standard RDX also features a standard rear view camera system (the base has a viewing screen within the rearview mirror, while the technology package has a 8 inch screen. Upgraded RDXs include features such as AcuraLink Satellite Communications System and AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic and navigation system and much more.
4.) Safety: Besides the standard safety equipment such as airbags and side curtain airbags, the RDX truly has a lot to offer in regards to safety. Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) works to absorb and redirect frontal collusion forces away from the passenger cabin while helping to improve crash compatibility with other vehicles of different sizes at the same time. For individuals with young children, the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children allow quick and easy installation of child seats. Additionally, the bumpers, hood, collapsible hood hinges, breakaway wiper pivots and other features are designed to help lessen pedestrian injury.
5.) Performance: The engine in the RDX is a turbocharged 2.3-liter DOHC inline four cylinder that incorporates the computer-controlled i-VTEC to deliver amazing performance. This SUV is known for having smooth gear changes and no "lag" response, and the i-VTEC works with the turbocharger to provide great acceleration at a variety of different speeds. The 2012 MPG ETA is 19/24/21 for the 2WD and 17/22/19 for SH-AWD - all while meeting the EPA Tier 2 - BIN 5 and CARB LEV-2 ULEV emission standards.
