Three Features of the 2024 Acura RDX
1. Turbocharged Performance
The base RDX has a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged powertrain that produces 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The sporty performance of this SUV is supported by a 10-speed automatic transmission with SportShift paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel and the Super Handling AWD drivetrain. This drivetrain instantly adapts to weather changes and road conditions for more stability and smooth cornering ability at high speeds.
A turbocharged powertrain is designed to optimize fuel consumption, so this SUV naturally has a great fuel economy. You can expect the RDX to get 21 MPG in the city, 27 MPG on the freeway, and 23 MPG combined. Additionally, this turbocharged powertrain gives the RDX a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs, which is just enough muscle for taking a compact trailer on your next trip.
2. Smartphone Integration
All of your favorite entertainment apps are only a click away with the various smartphone-linked features that come with your RDX. This model is compatible with wireless connectivity for Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Using any of these wireless connections can mirror your smartphone apps on your 10.2-inch HD dual-content infotainment center.
The RDX comes with Siri Eyes Free and Amazon Alexa integration as standard features. Siri Eyes Free enables voice recognition technology from your iPhone to make hands-free phone calls. Integration with Amazon Alexa also enables voice-activated controls over the infotainment system, including the ability to ask for directions, check the current weather report, or interact with Alexa-enabled smart home devices.
3. AcuraWatch Safety Features
The base RDX is equipped with a Collision Mitigation Braking System, which uses radar information to detect possible collisions with vehicles ahead of you and can instantly engage the emergency brakes to avoid a hard impact if you do not respond to the collision warning in time. The Lane-Keeping Assist System will automatically steer your vehicle to the center of your lane if your SUV starts to drift into neighboring traffic lanes.
The RDX balances luxurious style with well-rounded features for entertainment, performance, and safety so you can enjoy your time on the road.
