If you've driven the previous Acura RDX, you know the definition of compromise. While it was, in many ways, ahead of its time, the RDX was rough, balky, and awkward as much... March 28, 2012 by Nelson Ireson
Conservative as it is, the 2013 RDX might also be the best-looking vehicle in Acura's lineup--that is, until the NSX returns. Wearing the Iron Beak grille in a completely... February 9, 2012 by Nelson Ireson
Just a month ago, the 2013 Acura RDX Concept was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. Today, ahead of its official debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, Acura has lifted the... February 7, 2012 by Nelson Ireson
The 2013 Acura RDX made its worldwide debut at the 2012 Detroit auto show, but it's not long for the show-car circuit. With an on-sale date of late spring, this crossover... January 13, 2012 by Marty Padgett

The RDX was one of the first sporty, luxurious compact crossovers, at a time when the rest of the entries in this class were quite boring and utilitarian.
The BMW X3 was one of the other first entries in the niche, but it remains one of BMW's least appealing vehicles, with a somewhat choppy ride and disappointing trims.
Infiniti's EX35 is a blast to drive with none of the turbo lag, but its fuel economy is worse than that of the RDX.
VW's Tiguan also has a turbo four, but somehow it's a lot easier to live with.
The Mercedes-Benz GLK is sizes up with the rest but manages to feel a bit more mature and refined; for now, it's only offered with a big V-6.
The Audi Q5 stands out for its excellent interior appointments, good ride quality, and choice of fuel-efficient engines.
Another new entry this year to consider is the 2012 Range Rover Evoque, which delivers similar performance, but with a somewhat more practical package, updated styling, and a somewhat better ride.
