A SOLID Luxury SUV! 2022 Acura RDX Review

[@Ben-sq1mw]

100% yes! This is the most underrated optons here. most people always go towards the other options but only cuz if brand bias. I see so many of these on the roads

[@omardrives]

exactly! finally someone realistic!

[@AFCompany]

There are MDX’s and RDX’s all over LA and the dealer lots are full of BMW’s and Mercedes that people traded in for them.

[@theMLBfan]

There's a reason you see so many. It's a best seller. That means it's not underrated and most people aren't going to other options. LoL 🤦‍♂️

[@drivescene6747]

The RDX is not underrated at all. The dealers can’t keep them on the lots lol and that’s even before the pandemic, it’s one of the highest selling vehicles in this segment

[@MoNoK15]

Excellent review 👏 I really want this in Advance Type-S

[@staraang21]

Great review. I drove the 2021 model and was impressed with it. This one seems even better. My one big knock against this car is the lack of a touchscreen. You are forced to use the touchpad to control the infotainment system. I don’t really know why they do this since basic Honda models have touchscreens. Other than that this car is the best value in this segment.

[@GBraidi78]

The RDX is nice, my younger sis bought a used 2019 with Tech package and she loves it especially the SH-AWD in snow!

[@bstevens9831]

Good review but would prefer a driver's point of view and hearing the cabin noise( or lack of ) and engine during the test drive. How it drives is most important to me and at the end I'm wondering, how it drives, feels, sounds, handles ( does SHAWD do its job? - show me ). I didn't know about the rear camera washer, so thanks for that.

[@omardrives]

Thanks for the feedback 👍 I'm think I mentioned some of that but could definitely dive a little deeper

[@eyelan]

I have had my 2022 a spec adv for 3 months...I am only getting 18 mpg !!...granted, most of my driving is street but I don't see how I can drive any more conservatively .....That is my one pet peeve

[@msgosia]

I have the same problem on my 2023 advance. Get only 18 mpgs with mostly city drive. Still love the car!

[@mr.foxwiz1653]

When I was investigating the car, that was one of the things that people say is the mileage isn't that great. But I overlook that because the car is a great vehicle, I love the way it drives and it was $11k cheaper than the Lexus I was looking at. I ended up getting the 2023 Advanced A-Spec.

[@caesarq7513]

How does the app work? Is it buggy?

[@coliva0514]

What is the price? And sound system?

[@razorsedgeadventures6599]

Good review. I like my 2022 RDX with the exception of the fuel economy! It may be rated at 27 mpg highway, but I’ve never been able to get over 23 mpg on a 70 mph easy highway drive where my 2019 BMW X4 would return 10 better at 32-33 mpg. That’s nuts! How did Honda let that happen? Side note… why is it that just about the only RDX reviews you can find are the Blue A-Spec Advance versions? It’s a great looking car, but there are other colors too!

[@Whowannabeu]

It's maybe the best affordable luxury compact suv but the Macan is by far the best in this class followed by the new GV70.

[@garbun0629]

This video deserves more views...good review!

[@omardrives]

Appreciate that so much 🙌

[@MichaelRodriguez-tr7ew]

I could not have said it better! I bought the showroom 2022 RDX ASPEC/ADV... and it turns heads everywhere I go. The tech loaded into this car is unreal... usually reserved for EV's or very high end euros. I've owned BMW and the RDX does not play around when it comes time to perform... RDX even sounds serious.

[@columbiars]

What about Lexus NX 350F Sport? I don't know which one to choose.

[@thomasfraser9072]

My wife and I are aiming for the advance model. Beautiful looking car with great safety features for certain. Only problem is there is up to a 6 months waiting period in NH with $2500 down payment as we wait for our dealer to get it. By the way: Great review! Cheers

[@omardrives]

Would you buy the Acura RDX over the competition? Let me know!

[@ismailchaouqui]

Yes why not As we all know that Acura made a really good cars

[@omardrives]

@@ismailchaouqui yup yup this is the best-selling option in the segment for a reason

[@naveenthemachine]

I would. As a Camry owner I can confidently say that This absolutely destroys the brand new nx in every way possible. the hybrid or phevs are irrelevant as A. The hybrid requires premium fuel. B the phev is stupid expensive and you only get 300hp lmao 😆

[@kristians2704]

I would take the Genesis GV70 or BMW X3

[@bleekerbaby]

I did, I bought my 22 RDX last month after test driving the segment…it blew me away!

[@coliva0514]

What is the Price? And what about sound system?

[@NealKanter]

Great review. Spare tire seems important, does the RDX have it? Thanks!

[@HighBoostSyclone]

Yes, It's under the back of the car.

[@omardrives]

Thank you for that! Brian is right - the spare tire is under the RDX

[@mr.foxwiz1653]

@@omardrives I purchased a 2023 RDX Advanced A-Spec and it has no spare tire.

[@mohammedalgheryafi7784]

Excellent review for an excellent car.

[@Ecuador006]

Another great review from omar 🔥

[@PratapShinde]

I am in the market for a compact SUV. Currently having a Jag FPace. I am really looking forward to this new RDX. Thanks for your thoughts. 🙏

[@dipusultan7060]

I had an 2019 RDX aspec blue with red interior. I sold the car at 21000k miles because the brake pedal became soft and spongy over time making it scary in the city to drive(didn’t effect the braking power but the pedal feel). What’s an alternative to RDX?

[@XxCremeDeLaCreme]

I know exactly what you mean about the brakes. I have a 2016 RDX and it’s sensitive to braking which I like. It isn’t spongey or soft at all so when i test drove a 2021 I immediately noticed that. Is there anyway to correct this from happening over time you think? Because I was interested in upgrading to the 2022 but I’m unsure now..

[@dipusultan7060]

I did Brake flush at 11k miles. Multiple dealer visits. Some mechanics say it’s normal. Some recommended brake flush. Ended up selling it because it becomes annoying on long drive. Love the car tho no complaints. You will like it but if you find it a pet peeve; you won’t like it.

[@mr.foxwiz1653]

Look at a Lexus NX if you can find one

[@naveenthemachine]

Over any Lexus nx. Absolutely I would. The Rdx is a better car. It looks better outside, interior is way nicer no contest, tech is better, performance, handling, comfort, braking, AWD performance, ride, space, practicality are just better than any nx. Who cares if the nx has a hybrid or phev? The hybrid requires premium gas and the phev is stupid expensive and you only get 300hp lmao. The Rdx is as fast if not faster than the fastest nx

[@omardrives]

Agreed 🙌

[@TheBjjones]

@naveenthemachine Trolling in every small luxury SUV/CUV review expressing your dislike for the Lexus NX won't alter the facts. The 2022 Lexus NX has a more premium, luxurious interior with a more polished exterior design, plus the NX has more up to date technology (The Acura RDX doesn't even feature a functional touch screen) 😆 not to mention the 2022 Lexus NX will continue to spank the Acura RDX year after year in overall sales & resale value. 😁

[@naveenthemachine]

@@TheBjjones the nx doesn’t have a more premium interior. If anything it looks too much like a Camry inside. And aesthetically it’s barely nicer than the rav4. Heck even the venza has a more luxurious interior than the nx The Rdx is on a bespoke platform so it gives some semblance of specialness. the nx however isn’t. It’s literally just a dressed up rav4. You’re essentially buying a Toyota RAV4 and paying 10K more

[@TheBjjones]

@naveenthemachine You're in serious need of an eye exam if think you think the NX's interior resembles that of a Camry or is remotely similar to a Rav4. 😆 Also, as I've mentioned previously, *the Toyota Venza is classified as a mid-sized luxury crossover/SUV* (Lexus RX) as it's *NOT a compact luxury crossover/SUV like the NX* so once again, your misplaced rants are useless. Finally, the 2022 NX has more state of art features & superior tech over the Rav4, plus you get the prestige of a luxury vehicle with a better/longer warranty which justifies the additional costs over the Rav4. Toyota: 36 months/36,000 mile warranty Lexus: *48 months/48,000 mile warranty plus Lexus offers roadside assistance for a full 48 months or 4 years, double Toyota's coverage period.* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@theMLBfan]

@@TheBjjones the guy has no life and simply hates Lexus. Just ignore him.

[@Mrnovanova]

Do you think it'll be able to retain decent value 5 years from now when 50% of the cars are electric and fuel is $5 a gallon?

[@robertbelasco3859]

What’s it like to drive???

[@pjlett5688]

Hello Omar how can your possibly leave out No Spare Tire ? Fix a flat sucks This means if you get a major flat No ine can help you get back on the road ,at night Your are screwed ! That is a Huge ommision . I was going to buy the RDX until I found this out They could have mounted it like the Honda pass port under the car ,with a crank down to the ground wheel.

[@Mc.Nuggetz]

That’s because the AWD models have a spare tire. Which is under the car.

[@mr.foxwiz1653]

@@Mc.Nuggetz Not true. I just purchased a 2023 AWD and it has no spare tire.

[@paulm6481]

It’s a great looking vehicle inside and out except for that center dash area. To me that is a mess and that touch pad. Complete fail just for wanting to look different.

[@omardrives]

I agree with that - a touchscreen would be much better

[@BAIDWAN75]

Great vehicle in his class

[@abear9473]

I think it is definitely better than the 1st gen NX but showing age vs 2nd gen for sure. It is cheaper but less modern.

[@tmic4790]

No plastic skirting in wheel wells protecting fenders from stone chips and moisture protection. With sharp edges of wheel wells without plastic moulding the vehicle looks cheep and unattractive.

[@pjlett5688]

The review was very good , but the omission of having no spare time is a Big one , This leaves a driver potentially stranded ,or have to be towed AAA even says fix a flat is dangerous And if a sidewall cut like my wife had in her Volvo ,thank God for the spare ,or she would have been stranded 100 miles in the country.

[@Mc.Nuggetz]

It has a spare tire so I don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@PreparationdobleH]

From complaints too many problems

[@bamboozlebamboozle6820]

Earth is flat

[@kristians2704]

No it’s not

[@omardrives]

🤨

[@naveenthemachine]

It’s certainly better than the virtually nonexistent Lexus NX in just about every way possible to man
