2020 Acura RDX: A Remarkable Piece of Work

When we see an 85% rating from the 2020 Car Guide for a vehicle model, it’s important to take a few moments to look at the comments, because experts in the field are not fond of giving such good marks to a vehicle in this 700+ page guide. Yet the 2020 RDX gets that score, given the fact that it stands out as a premium luxury compact SUV that just happens to be among the best in its class in 2020.

Acura Laval, near Saint-Eustache, Boisbriand, Terrebonne and just minutes away from Montreal, introduces you to this high-end SUV that exudes refinement and performance with its countless features and a 16-speaker audio system, a must-have option for music lovers.

When will Acura Compete with Audi?

In the RDX’s early years, it was said to be a more luxurious version of the CR-V. In 2020, we no longer dare to make this comparison since it is so different and is just behind the Audi Q5 in its class. We can even say that they are tied (85% and 86%)*.

In addition, the 2020 Acura RDX features a new 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that develops 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, making it both powerful and performant, ready for the great adventure in Quebec, Canada and the United States. This powertrain is paired with a super-efficient 10-speed automatic transmission, which enhances the driving dynamics of this 5-door 5-seat SUV and ensures flexibility and excellent all-wheel drive.

With a spacious and ultra-comfortable interior, you’ll benefit from the comfort you seek as the RDX is equipped with ergonomic, adjustable, heated and reclining seats in addition to providing plenty of storage space and legroom in the rear. In addition, the interior impresses with its design, choice of materials and quality of finish. The Japanese giant has managed to surpass itself by offering not only performance with a turbo engine, but also elegance for getaways.

Even more interesting, the 2020 RDX is well equipped with automatic emergency braking with forward collision warning and lane departure warning in addition to adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance as well as blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic monitoring. You also get 19-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, 10.25-inch multimedia display, auto-dimming rearview mirror, multi-angle rearview camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features and much more.

In short, the RDX is a solid and compact luxury SUV. The materials used have considerably reduced its weight while maintaining remarkable road handling, outstanding presentation and assembly quality, and driving modes (Snow, Comfort, Sport and Sport +) that adapt to your style. That’s all we have to say, except that the 2020 Acura RDX exudes luxury, reliability, performance and elegance. A jewel from Acura, the successful Japanese premium manufacturer.
