Acura RDX News

Fresh from its world debut in March at the 2018 New York auto show, Acura's redesigned 2019 RDX will be among the vehicles racing to the clouds in this year's Pike Peak International Hill Climb. The Japanese firm won't be running a completely stock RDX, though. Competing in the Exhibition Class, the vehicle will feature performance upgrades that we could see in Acura's lineup at a later date. One of these is a mild hybrid system using recovered energy to power an electric compressor for the RDX's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4.

2013 Acura RDX first drive review
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 as it was peppy, fun, and high-tech. Times have changed. The 2013 Acura RDX doesn't look all that much different from the last...

Today, ahead of its official debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, Acura has lifted the veil on the production version. As you might expect, it is very similar to the concept.

The design changes aren't dramatic, however. In fact, there's nothing dramatic about the 2013 RDX; quite the opposite...
