The 2019 Acura RDX will mark the beginning of the third generation of this luxurious and performant line of vehicles. Like most models from this manufacturer, RDXs distinguish themselves with a diamond grill in the front, jewel-shaped LED headlights, a massive cabin and finely crafted lines on the side. But what will the 2019 model bring to the table? Acura focused its efforts to apply Precision Concept’s principles to a SUV for the first time. That means a lower, wider, sleeker vehicle, with a completely new cockpit, user interface and operating system! These are good news for Acura RDX’s lovers: this model is going in the right direction.
New Generation, New Performance
On the powertrain side, Acura goes back to its roots and parts away with the 6-cylinder, 3.5-liter i-VTEC engine that fans were accustomed to in order to bring back a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine reminiscent of the line’s first powertrain, when it was launched more than a decade ago. Exit too to the 6-speed automatic box that is replaced by a 10-speed unit, which will not limit your fun behind the wheel: take control with the SportShift speed selector located on the wheel. You can also expect reactive shock absorbers, the driveability assistant and the AWD smart control system to make a comeback and to give you just as many reasons to pick the 2019 Acura RDX as your next vehicle.
