I test drove almost all luxury and near-luxury SUVs in the market. The RDX is the only vehicle that I liked for its handling. Its interior is exceptional value for money too. Before test driving the RDX, I thought I liked the Lexus NX the most and was ready to purchase, but now RDX is on the top of my list. RDX feels more lively, zippy, not boring. It felt like it is a driver's car, it allows you to feel connected to the road and derive enjoyment from driving.
Rightly said
Hondas are more driver focused over toyota anyday
I'm sure you test drove everything. So much that you didn't even realize this is a FWD vehicle vs RWD BMW/Mercedes. It can't possibly handle as well as those.
I have Acura Spec RDX . It has front camera too when I am started to driving I can see whole body if there is something unexpected in street . Or I can open trunk just with foot .beside that all programs and mileage show up in front window
love the infotainment and touchpad. I can’t stand the prints on the touch screens. It takes 10 min to learn how to use the infotainment touch system and things are easy.
Especially a Aspec Advance trim 👌
I prefer it to the MDX❤
My Aunts Christine & Jean Got 2 RDXs Today. 😊😊😊
I got the 2021 RDX A-spec, great car overall, very comfortable and fun to drive, also the ELS sound system is superb. The only downside is the MPG, it wastes a lot of gas for a 4 cyl SUV.
Thx for info
Agreed. Terrible gas mileage, but love the car overall. I don’t even mind the touchpad,
I'm doing around 24 mpg
I bought the black on black,love it.
I have a 2021 RDX and I see very little changes, and that’s a good thing.
The 2022 refresh entirely changed the car. So much more than the 2021. Sorry man.
No automatic start and is rdx coming with a type s
I got the 2023 RDX SH-AWD A-SPEC ADV love it so far
How much was it?
Acura is making us wait for the redesign of the RDX longer than necessary. The competition is not slowing down. It is time for the RDX Type S. The only question would be what engine would they use??? The 2.0T is already standard on that platform… 3.5 naturally aspirated? 👍👎 Um… there’s no way they would put a 3.5 TT on that frame 🦖lmao. Just having fun lol. Long time Acura fan. I owned a CL9. Miss my baby 😢.
Nice review by the way 🫡
Hi Ben, can you review our X6 M60I 2024 we just got it, sunburst Auto Sales in Salt Lake City, Ask for Adam.
I have a 2019. Reliable and fun to drive. Good cuv❤️❤️❤️
can't wait for the REDESIGN to be honest! :)
I'm looking for a SUV, its between the RDX A-SPEC, BMW X3 M40i and the Lexus NX 350h, having a hard time deciding but I'm assuming from all the reviews so far the smart man who wants some reliability and a little fun would take the RDX... arggggh.
If you are going to lease and get into a new model in a couple of years then the BMW X3 M40i is my preferred vehicle. If you are going to buy and keep, then it's the Acura RDX. The Lexus NX 350h, for me, doesn't have the driving fun factor of those 2.
I took a black on black A-Spec Advance for a test drive recently and really liked it. But, Acura didn’t get my sale because of the all red gauges, which I found difficult to look at, at night. I also didn’t like how there’s no spare, but would have been willing to add that after the fact. Why Acura didn’t maintain the same gauge design language as with the rest of their models and trim levels is a mystery to me, and a fail.
I looked at a 2024 RDX yesterday. While I didn't actually look the salesman said the spare is under the lower body in back. I did see a jack so it was likely there. As for the red lighting I suspect it was in sport mode. I like it although the gas mileage is a bit on the low side for a 4 cylinder 2L engine. The Technology Package seems to be the value spot.
@@10tenman10 There’s no spare out of the factory with the A-Spec trim level and I would love for what you said about the red gauges and sport mode to be true, but I don’t think that’s the case. Which trim level was the salesman referring to?
@@bc67 I believe we looked at the technology package. There was definitively a jack in the back under the floorboard though.
Canada model they have a spare tire
Beautiful, reliable, great driver...interior dash looks like something from 1990. I'll wait for re-design, or buy a Lexus. Great video though.
I don't really see that, regarding the dash. Maybe the analogue gauges a little. But overall I actually find it more upscale and luxurious looking than the one in the CRV.
Does it have heated seats rear and front and steering wheel
Yes heated steering, seat front and rear
does this car comes with factory remote starter? incandescent rear turn signals bulbs and not led? interesting for what you are paying for it
Since no one answered, they give you a year subscription to remote start via their phone app. The pricy advance trim includes remote start on the key fob.
Its time for Acura to redesign this thing, the center stack abomination got to be replaced
I like it. Never had a luxury car/summoner before to this looks way better than what I have in my mazda. Deff gonna get this.
Suv*
2024 Acura RDX (A-Spec)❤
does this have hud?
2024 RDX model have HUD, wireless charger, kick trunk to open, passenger heated seats, heated side mirror, back camera spray wiper, 360 camera, trunk u can plug power
0:30 same power as the Honda Accord 2.0T , Tlx A specs , Intergra Type S and Civic Type R
You're wrong on your hp assessment
Honda Accord 2.0 252 hp
Acura Integra Type S 320 hp
Honda Civic type R 315 hp
@@REVLIMITER3Sorry man! , I mean they are same Engine K20 Turbo but different power output
Take a look take a look take a look take a look take a look
A Lifted Civic Type R !
Nope own platform
@@rahimi4762 I mean the K20
Lol
Shut up.
It need a touch screen
The center console and infotainment is a hot mess. The screen looks like a complete afterthought and the gear shifting section looks way too over-the-top compared to the rest of the interior. The mouse pad is a dealbreaker. The rest of the car looks sick though.
Screen is integrated unlike other brands. So u make no sense
The incandescent rear turn signals are a dealbreaker on this one
You don't even see them when you're driving. Smfh
Well, this is true… But the other drivers do! Right next to the Acura badge!
@@ericbliss6354I think they decided to use an incandescent bulb because they could get more amber illumination out of a bulb.
Center stack looks pretty goofy. Everything else about the RDX is adequate. Rather have a Q5 or Macan.
Both of those are way more expensive.
@@mitch20003not for q5, it’s the same price as the rdx with similar spec.
@@sentryion3106 really rdx is like 50 k fully equipped. Q5 is 60 k plus...
@@mitch20003 rdx is 55k for the advanced. Q5 is also 55k for prestige trim
ah gotcha, if thats the case I would get the q5 but I would buy the base model rdx if i had 40k to spend. you get a lot of bang for your buck. @@sentryion3106
Definitely a contender for the Germans apart from having the worst modern infotainment system of all time.
It really does. Wtf is preventing Acura just from installing a touchscreen. These touch pads are stupid. Older people probably won’t get this car because of that since they are barely getting adjusted to touch screen
They used to have two touchscreens a d the media panned them for it. The system is very easy to use a d no finger prints
Lexus a d old BMW systems were worse
@@theholt2ic219it’s a shame bc Ive driven one of these and theyre genuinely good fun to drive. Definitely the sportiest of the 4 cylinder turbo luxury suv options.
I understand why some People get hung up on the track pad - it’s so easy to use. Sit in the car for 5mins and you got it all figured out. Every infotainment system has a learning curve. Also I never use the track pad as this car has voice commands.
The exhaust looks comically large in comparison to how big the rear looks. lmao
Other than that a sweet looking car, probably going to be reliable too.
The only compact luxury SUV that easily fits REAR-facing child seats (competitors have less rear legroom)
The only compact luxury SUV with a horrendous infotainment system especially when using Carplay since the “true touch” function goes away.
Interior, dash and infotainment system already look outdated.
Well this generation RDX came out in 2019, so it’s been five years.
you talk way to fast slow down
Very nice vehicle but dated.
Go find a good used one, they are all the same back to 2019. Save some money too.
Your camera work isn’t very good on this one, buddy. Shaky, jerky, poor focus. Maybe go back to a GoPro with images stabilizing. The iPhone shoots very well too.
It’s not in the same category with BMW 😅
You're right - had a rental 2023 X1 for two weeks earlier this year while the RDX was in the bodyshop. The BMW did not even come close to winning me over. The interior was bland with a bunch of cheap plastic panelling I'd expect from a Kia, the ride quality wasn't as good as the RDX, the seats were more uncomfortable, and it just felt heavy and sluggish compared to the easy driving of the RDX. Nothing about the BMW really spoke "luxury" despite the higher price point and maintenance costs - Switching back to the RDX I'd felt like I'd upgraded in every way - BMW? I don't get it...
I don’t know that the x1 is in the same class. You can compare it to the X3. The x3 will be all new in summer ‘24 though. We lease a ‘21 TLX tech SH-AWD. The infotainment system is buggy and not intuitive. There is too much road noise for a luxury car. Still haven’t gotten used to the shifter controls. Those are my only complaints. Have had RDX’s and MDX’s as loaners. The MDX was acceptable. We probably will get the X3 next spring when the lease is up unless Mazda comes out with a CX-70 and it blows us away
Talk more slowly please. What’s the rush?
He's in rush because he needs to poop 💩💩💩
That’s how all his videos are. He tries to keep the videos short, which most people (including myself) probably appreciate.
@@Marktec thank you baby for your response.
The cheap looking leather/suede combo looks like crap after only 1 year of use. Specially my driver seat.. why can they just do a high quality leather. My 2011 MDX leather is in too shape even now. Just goes to prove they dont make cars like they used to. Everyone is worried about the size of the screen and nothing else..
I’ve got the 2020 Advance with the Milano leather and it has held up really well. Still looks great.
The Aspec package isn't worth it. Go with the Technology package or if you want all the bells and whistles get the advanced package.
Luxury CRV
lol at better than a bmw. I've driven both, not even close. BMW x3 runs circles around everyone. This is a FWD car in essence, transversely mounted engine. It will never reach the heights of a proper longitudinal/rwd platform. Never.
The worst infotainment and the worst transmission system. Bring back the traditional shifter.
These days I just can’t justify an suv that requires premium gasoline only.
Maybe if Trump comes back and gets energy prices down again then it won’t matter. But paying $5 a gallon it not something I want to do.
You mean by having another pandemic which would cause everyone to quarantine? In case you don’t remember no one was out on the roads for many weeks in many countries including China which caused a huge drop in fuel consumption which in turn caused a huge drop in fuel prices.
