Stylish, quick, and heavy with tech, the 2021 Acura RDX is a compelling option in a segment crowded with talented contenders.
It borrows the sporty equipment from the A-Spec trim and all the tech of the Advanced model.
Every RDX including the PMC will come with a 2.0-liter turbo-4 making 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, which is a bit down versus the Honda Civic Type R that it also does duty in. A 10-speed automatic takes care of power delivery, which gets sent to just the front wheels or to all four via Acura’s torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system.
Most versions of the RDX are rated at 22 mpg city, 28 highway, 24 combined. The A-Spec cuts 1 mpg off the highway figure. All-wheel-drive models come in at 21/27/23 mpg, with once again a single mile per gallon hit for the A-Spec.
Acura builds every RDX with safety equipment such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams and active lane control. A surround-view camera system is standard with the fancy Advance trim.
The RDX gets the nod from both major crash-test agencies, earning five stars from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS.
