2021 Acura RDX

The 2021 Acura RDX comes available in four trim levels, or what Acura offers as distinct options packages: Standard, Technology, A-Spec, and Advance. The Standard Package comes with exterior features like 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, LED headlights and taillights, and stylish exterior colors. The Technology Package gives the Acura RDX more amenities for the interior, and the A-Spec Package gives the RDX a sportier style, LED fog lights, 20-inch wheels, redesigned bumpers, and black exterior trim accents. The Advance Package adds to the previous elements with a hands-free power liftgate.

All variations of the Acura RDX come equipped with Acura's turbo aluminum-alloy 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine capable of 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. This engine comes paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission with sport-shift paddle shifters. A front-wheel-drive system powers all variations of the RDX, and you can also opt for the available all-wheel-drive system, which is what Acura calls its SH-AWD system. You'll love the efficiency of the 2021 RDX's engine, too, as it delivers a fuel efficiency rating of 22 miles per gallon on city roads and 28 miles per gallon on the highway.

With the standard front-wheel drive drivetrain, the 2021 RDX offers a smooth, comfortable ride and adaptive handling. The RDX's Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system delivers a sportier performance and provides more traction than the front-wheel drive. The sequential SportShift paddle shifters make driving the RDX an exhilarating and fun experience. And with the RDX's stability and traction control systems, motion-adaptive steering, and agile handling assist, handling this vehicle proves smooth and highly responsive.

You'll enjoy all the interior tech and convenience the 2021 RDX has to offer. The Standard and Technology Packages feature heated front sports seats with leatherette upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and brushed aluminum trim accents. The A-Spec and Advance packages offer heated and ventilated seating and perforated Milano premium leather upholstery. All RDX variations come standard with dual-zone automatic climate control, 60/40 fold-flat rear seats, power-adjustable front seats, keyless entry, push-button start, and cruise control. Enjoy connectivity features like navigation, smartphone integration, Acura's premium audio system, a 10.2-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth, and WiFi hotspot capability.

The 2021 RDX isn't lacking in safety and security technology, either. Travel in confidence knowing you can rely on the RDX's safety features including adaptive cruise control with low-speed-follow assist, a multi-view rear camera, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, road departure mitigation, tire pressure monitoring, and Acura's Maintenance Minder System. The RDX also comes standard with vehicle stability assist, traction control, agile handling assist, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist, and an electronic parking brake. Keep your RDX secure with Acura's advanced theft-deterrent system.
