The Acura RDX really showcases the brand's precision performance philosophy. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 producing 272 HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The exterior of the RDX has a much cleaner look with this current generation. On the inside you find an interior that ALL current Acura's should have except the NSX. Is the 2020 Acura RDX SH-AWD the perfect compact LUXURY SUV?

Not sure if I go RDX now with their special offer (till March 2021 for Audi > 2011 owners), or wait for the Genesis GV70 that looks amazing too ! I just can't make up my damn mind haha

I bought a 2018 RDX Tech package CPO two years ago. I wanted the previous RDX model to this one since the '18 has the V6 engine (non turbo), a regular sunroof, and there's no screen just sticking up from the dash like this one. I like the exterior styling of the 2019 and newer RDX but it was a no buy for me because of the dash, the sunroof and the engine.

After my second Acura TL I was ready to buy an RDX since both my daughters have them. Found this exact car with 29k miles on it. I am in love. You neglected to point out I. The cargo area when you lift that floor there is another set of storage cubes behind the big one! I can’t believe how much storage is in here. You can easily stow your umbrella gloves, and a blanket for winter usage in those smaller cubes in the back without compromising the regular storage you may need during other seasons.

Acura is and always has been “ entry level luxury” where as Lexus and Audi are “ Luxury” . I just drove the 19 RDX Advanced trim AWD a few weeks ago. The RX is midsize so you would be cross shopping the MDX and the Q5 is one those in between sizes ( not quite mid but not compact either). If you don’t need the slightly extra room then save yourself the money and go drive the RDX, it’s a really good deal for the money. The only negative that I could find with it was that the cooled seats don’t work very well but other than that, I’m sold.

My solution though is simple: I use Apple Car Play to control Apple Maps, Apple Music, Apple (audio)Books and Apple Podcasts almost entirely with voice commands: "Play my music"; "Navigate to XYZ"; Play XYZ audiobook"; "Play XYZ podcast." Overall the RDX is a terrific car priced thousands under the competition. Highly recommended.

I cant see the jump those plaintiffs made to link the car to be unsafe. People seem to be just running around looking for something to sue for these days.

That 2.0L engine needs the AWD to keep the wheels from spinning. Bro-in-law has the 2.0L Accord and you simply can't start with any power without chirping or spinning the tires. In fact, that RDX w/the SH-AWD kit could be the best engine / drive train combo that Honda (erm, Acura) has to offer in their four cylinder powered fleet. Great to see such a usable cargo capacity. That is disappointing re: no ventilated seats. Completely agree that the super clear analog instrumentation is a good design choice by Acura. I also like the tall sidewalls on the tires in the era of absurd wheels / low profile tires in everyday drivers. In PA our secondary roads are beat to hell and aren't getting repaired, so having significant sidewall between the next pothole edge and your rims is key. Aside from the Subaru Outback, the RDX would be very high on my shopping list, if the in the market. As a CPO sale a few years down the road, that will be an incredible value.

Not for all reviews of course, but for a potential family hauler it would be nice. Also for a lot of your reviews you never open the sun roof even while at the dealer( OMG) our 2015 Ford (exploder) sounds like a bunch of mice open and close it. Also we can some times see a bit of a person on the passenger side in the back just a small glimpse, is that a salesmen watching ?

You’d expect this to have more power than the Honda Passport, but no not quite. 272-vs-280 for the Honda, and the Honda has a V6. The RDX is a little nicer though. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

L S RDX is 4” shorter and 4” slimmer. The Passport is on the larger Pilot platform with some length cut off. The RDX and CR-V are the more similar platforms.

Standard, Technology and Advance packages come with a spare tire. It's mounted under the rear of the car. For some reason the A-Spec package does not come with a spare, but rather has a can of fix-a-flat sealant. I imagine it's because of the different rear bumper design on the A-spec.

Great vehicle, however, I'm having a major issue. We have a 2020 Acura RDX with a fuel pump recall to which there are no corrective parts available. We were told that by October they should be contacting us. What's infuriating despite their "very serious accident possible" warning, they won't give us a loaner nor pay for a lease. I'm supposed to either park the car or keep driving and pray nothing happens on the highway. This is a sick joke. Very disappointing the NHTSA allows this to happen and Acura-Honda's approach to problem resolution.

Hey joe, could you review the advanced model. That's the real deal with the RDX. I may have bought one a year back but they were a hot cake at the time and non existent. Got a BMW X3 instead. The advance is the only model that can really match up with the BMW/Mercedes's SSUV segment.

want to purchase one but before doing so would like to know the result of the class action lawsuit below. Do you know if Acura corrected the alleged infotainment defect? The Acura RDX infotainment lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division - Banh, et al., v. American Honda Motor Co. The plaintiffs are represented by Hagens Berman, Goldenberg Schneider, and Niekamp, Weisensell, Mutersbaugh & Mastrantonio. CarComplaints.com has owner-reported complaints about Acura RDX SUVs and many other Acura vehicles.
