The white exterior with black trims and with the red interior, is just a fire combo!!
As always fantastic review !!
I like RDX A-spec.🤩🤩
Wow, RDX was one of my favorites in 2020, now spicing it up with the 2021 RDX. I love Acura and Honda.
I love how the dash is complicated. It's a breath of fresh air from the sleek horizontal flat dash that all the other luxury car makers are going with ( and even some non luxury like Hyundai s)
Both of you guys are awesome 👏 but I really like the one that did the review in this car 🚘 today, I also like the voice 🙌🙌 It is a very detailed review...
Howdy, great review as always y’all! This is a nice car!😸😻😸
Nice job on the review.
I like the Acura RDX a spec it is very high sport suv and I really like it keep up the good work guys.
This is the SUV I'm getting! I love the use of space and how intuitive it is to drive. The infotainment center seems senaitivr and will require a learning curve, but im notntoo worried about it. I so can't wait to this bad boy.
Stopped by the dealer on my way to check it out all the colors in A spec trim look amazing I change my mind everyday lol but i think black with the red trim looks so good
Driving 2021 black-on-black a-spec package as we speak what a beautiful ride. Love the panoramic sunroof and the whole layout of the car. Also the front end with the headlights are gorgeous. 🙏
Acura needs an A SPEC Advance, I would like Advance features with A Spec styling
Pmc Edition :)
@@leroy5202 Isn't PMC edition reserved for the final year of the cycle of the design???
@@SimonFanProductions Hmm, not sure maybe. It would make sense since the new MDX and tlx come out soon.
plastidip is your friend.
Akhil Bolla I’m with you. I wish they had A-Spec for Advance.
Great Review. I’m impressed by the RDX. My choice would be an advanced trim but with the 20 inch wheels/tires from this trim. I agree that the infotainment needs to be touch and the touch pad. Also, Acura should have offered a spare tire.
I love the 2021 Acura RDX A spec it’s very nice!! I love the red Interior!
I recently bought this RDX ASpeck a week ago. Same color and so happy that I got it. Thanks so much for this video I was able to learn a lot about the car instead of me reading the book❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad we could help! Congrats on your new RDX!
Love the new design Acura style. Hopefully next year I will be able to get my hands on the tlx type S but I do have a family so it might be better for us to get this one here.
Thanks for making this video! I'm waiting to see how the TLX Type S is priced then decide between one of these and a TLX. Crossing my fingers for a RDX Type S!
Type S will be in the low 50s to mid 50s range
we got the 2020 advance. it’s such a gorgeous looking car. the only downside is the rims they give with the highest end trim (which we bought). they used to give the diamond cut rims with the highest trim in 2017. now it’s $2500+ option
thanks guys great video thinking about getting an A spec
Until the type S is available the A spec trim should be optional on the Advanced model. I want the adaptive suspension, tech features and A spec looks.
I just bought an RDX Tech. I am now an empty nester and this car is the perfect size! I love it.
5:00 it’s little things like that that’ll wow me every time I close my door. Acura nailed the RDX, I can’t wait for the TLX and MDX!
haha agreed. sounds better than the old and new bmw chime.
I drove one of these recently I love the suspension set up. This is one crossover SUV I can run 85-90 mph on the interstate all day long and feel really secure and stable.
How's the gears shifts? Jerky?
joshuag94 incredibly smooth tbh
Wow! This would be my dream car when i reach to adult age!
Do it now, so you will arrive to adulthood in proper style and about 5 kids the back seat is real roomy and comfy.
Very good presentation guys and very informative,
Thanks!
The RDX is very fun to drive and fast. I would love to own one 👍🏾
1 more year for a mid cycle refresh I hope they put HUD on the A-Spec.
BUY THE ADVANCE, fit aspec rims, and the black trim! So ours looks like the aspec on the outside but an advance on the inside
Dwight K. Schrute but you won’t have the awesome red interior and black trim. Which looks better than the chrome trim, IMO.
Did you add a fender A-SPEC badge as well to complete the deception?
J High lol
J High not yet! Have had trouble finding a few to put on the back and in the fenders
@@cameronschindler25
Smart move. Why pay for a higher trim vehicle when you can adorn the cheaper lower trim with knockoff badges? Want a performance Mercedes sedan, but your money is a little light? Just buy an entry level C Class and slap a couple of Biturbo C63-S badges on it. Presto, it's almost like having over 500hp under your hood.
Awesome review! I bought a 2019 aspec today!! Ps you are super cute 😊
Wow, that's a nice car. I have never seen or heard of the RDX!
You guys know your stuff - thanks for the video. I’ll likely purchase one soon.
One question: what’s with the coupons? Is that just to size up storage?
Thanks, glad you found it helpful! And yes, thats just our metric of measuring haha
A great SUV for Boston... cool video dude.
If this was hybrid or PHEV, I would’ve bought it already. Hope Acura is doing that for the 2022 model...
The track pad is a showstopper for me.
I absolutely love this car and the whole accura line .....I just think they could do a better job with the rim design....
Hey Drew and Mason, great vid! Keep the cars coming!
Thanks!
I wish the A-Spec had the option to change the red light to white in speedometer. I really don't like the red and much prefer the white on the non a-spec models but I also want the features of the a-spec lol.
Got one of the first (and at the time rarest) ‘19 RDX A-Specs in Black with the red interior. Absolutely no regrets
Love the 0-100 in 5.5s😂could save so much on gas if I didn’t floor it so often
(Being Canada, it apparently has more standard features like power folding mirrors, heated steering wheel, remote start, & SH-AWD)
Edit: test drove an X5, GLC, Q5, Evoque, RX450, and F-Pace and found this one to be the best for my needs, one of which was size. It also has the some of the most power in its class. Though the F-Pace, RX, & Q5 were close, the Jag was a lil outdated on the interior, Lexus had no pano sunroof, & the Q5 was lacking on cargo space in comparison.
The low maintenance costs (being an Acura) were a bonus
Wonderful review!! I watched this after your Lexus NX review. What would you all recommend between the NX and RDX ....most bang for your bucks? This is my first SUV purchase, always sedans and coupes. I did hit the subcribe button for you all.
Personally, we prefer the RDX! Thanks for subbing!
That intro beat knock🤗🙈
Waiting for the S-type v6!
My wife and I just bought this car, black interior though. Traded in a 2018 Ford Escape titanium. I'm pretty damn impressed with this car so far.
Hate to see incandescent turn signals on the tail lights when all the others (including headlights) are fully LED. 🤨
I agree. Hell the CRV has LED turn signals in the rear lol...
seviper06 Change my mind...
Honda > Acura
Add a led bulb on it hahaha
@@ARUclipsChannelwithNoName I have a 2013 RDX...>2013 CRV. V6 >I4, converter trans>CVT, luxo interior >cheap cloth.
Yeah. Makes no sense. It’s 2020 and Acura yet still doesn’t have LED turn signals..
got a black aspec and is the best car i’ve owned
I love love this car👍🏾
I would definitely buy one just wish it had over 300hp
Second!! Keep up the great work!
My dream car!
Hi everyone, so ive had a 19 ilx, a 21 tlx, also a 21 rdx and a 21 ilx. All had faint oil smell coming thru vents. And rear main seal leaking oil. Allow a bit more than 2000 km possibly less. Look for small oil residue or leak at fly wheel cover.
You can get heated steering with Aspec as an option.
I would love to see an RDX Type S.
Would love to see this with 400+ hp
Actually that would be really cool. It would go against the BMW X3 m40i
There's a new lawsuit vs Acura RDX about its bad transmission. Google it folks before buying it.
I read on Google and they the s will be coming on 2021?
Acura already released the timeline for the type s. Late 2021 - early 2022.
I own 2007 RDX Turbo tech package and i always gets the front row every red lights :D Thing goes 0-60 below 4 second still. Apart from stiff and clunky shift knob and a bit of turbo lag. Fun car to drive.
Hey Ben! How long have you had your RDX? How many miles on it? How have maintenance costs been for you? I am trying decide between this and Lexus NX 300. Thanks in advance for reply.
@@stedye Tbh, if NOW i have to make decision between 2007 RDX and NX 300.... id go with Lexus :)
The gas consumption is quite high for this SUV considering the weight is almost 4 tonnes and AWD system. Im on 15-16L/100kmh Premium gas.
Maintenance isnt that scary as you can run Honda parts with it.
I acquired it at 110.000Km and i drove it til 150.000Km.
Fun car to drive, it is a very comfortable active SUV too with all the ample space in the interior.
@@bensadikin9513 thanks for reply. Happy Holidays to you and family.
What's the difference from the RDX last year?
Once Toyota/Lexus add those turbo engines that should close the gap significantly.
My dad has Acura RDX 2019 aspec but in black pick up few weeks ago also
I have this car. I traded in my absolute lemon of a 2019 base model. After so many nightmares with that one I thought surely! Surely this brand new car will be great!
Until tonight when, at 3177 miles, driving her like a baby to save on gas mileage (22.9), the passenger side window will not work. Both buttons, turned on and off, no the lock isn’t on.
I have to drive to a different dealership because if they see me again after the 2019 issues, they’re going to think I’m hustling. I’m just a girl, with a brand new Acura, trying to not have a problem.
My 2004 Acura TSX had a passenger window problem once. After 5 years the spring broke through the button. But it was 5 years old. Not 2.5 months. Absurd. I’m having an existential crisis.
Just got one 2021 w 20k miles - amazing, nice review .. coupons 😂
How are you finding it ?
Great review! Love the Buger King coupons in the glove box.
Thanks, Steven!
Hey, fellow Steve. My wife collects BK coupons :) if I go with this model, know where to place them.
@@stedye Steven do you have extra BK coupons; I am tired of turkey. 🖖
@@stevenr6279 my wife usually hoards them, and, can't find any..lol Happy Holidays..
I love mine!
Not having a touchscreen is one big leap backwards. A-Spec not having 360 camera is also a minus.
Imagine if they made an advanced package for the A-Spec model. I really hate the wheels in the Advanced package :(
The fact that you have to subscribe to a service in order to use your remote start is astounding to me. Not to mention he said it so casually as if it wasn't that big a deal lol
my Volvo does the same, it’s not just Acura.
@@Littleathquakes Wild bro, maybe I'm dumb but this is the first time I've heard of that at least with manufacturers outside of the ultra luxury range. That's almost a deal breaker honestly, it's like buying a brand new TV and the high motion frame rate feature is locked behind a subscription based app except this cost 20 times what a brand new TV cost lol.
The advance model comes with remote start.. Or pay $120 for 12 months of remote package plus security features
am I the only one who resents the rear end of the RDX?
CHINGON.... COMPA !!!
Mine has remote start and power folding mirrors in canada
Advanced package
Noce car! Is the navigation that these cars come with in realtime? Anyone know? Thanks!
For the life of me I can’t understand why they don’t add power folding mirrors?? Whyyyy???
reliability.
Satwik V this is a feature that virtually all luxury vehicles have.
They are included on Canadian A-spec along with a heated steering wheel 🇨🇦
Why is this feature even needed?
Janab Sahib it’s mainly for tight spaces so another car or person won’t hit it cause luxury cars have a lot of tech inside the mirrors so if the mirror breaks, that’s a lot of money to pay. and also it looks cool and neat.
Love this suv!! I hope it’s our next one. We are undecided between this and a Honda Ridgeline. Lol
Toyota
George Taylor we have a Lexus ES350 so that’s covered. But I also love the Honda brand.
Do you need a car-based truck? If not, I see no reason to get the Ridgeline. The RDX is way more refined, luxurious, and fun to drive. Never heard anyone cross shop these two haha
@@edwink1467 good point! I see this was a year ago when I wrote that. Still love both vehicles but interest has changed. Haven’t gotten a truck yet. Wife and I just moved to a farm and I need a small work truck. Looking at a Tacoma or Frontier. Still like the Ridgeline but need more of a work horse.
Let's see what Acura will do for the 2022 refresh
All they need is a lighter TypeS model with the Civic Type R tuned version of that powertrain (304hp at least & more torque). ✅🎆
How are the 2.0 turbo 10 speed power train? Ive heatd the 1.5 turbo has problems.
How many recalls RDX AND MDX ???
K tune stage 2 coming soon on mine which will put me over 300 hp.
Love the red. Glad a white interior wasn’t in this video
makes no sense that the A-spec doesn't have the advance options. It would be nice to have the best of both world. Especially a head-up display
That is how they manufacturer make money. Gimmicky
I have a ‘19 MDX and have an opportunity to upgrade to a 2020 SHAWD Advanced and lower my payment. Are there any differences between the 2020 and 2021 or is it a rollover?
Rollover besides for some minor pricing updates
What's with the stapler looking rear tail lights? Almost look like the Honda Accords stapler looking rear tail lights.
Bought a 2020 Advance version. Loved it until.... I was passing a tractor trailer on small two lane road. Half way pass the engine suddenly gives out and won’t go over 25 mph. Thank God the truck slowed down so I could pull over. There I was, broke down on a country road. The car eventually restarted and made my way to the Dover Del dealer. The code said cylinders 1 and 4 misfired. But they had no idea what caused it or what to fix.......goodbye. So I’m driving a $49 k car that could break down any where any time. Now I’m afraid what could happen on future drives.
How do you like the infotainment system, I hear bad things.
remote start is free for 6 months? you much do you have to pay for that monthly?
No one going to mention the spider when he is in the back seat?!?!?! haha
Acura really needs to update the wheels on the Advance. I have not heard a single person who said they like them lol
Whats the mileage numbers like? I have heard from lot of owners this car is pretty bad for any city driving.
Where is the tires jacks locate at?
The red coloring in the speedometer is also a big turn off for me.
I have the same shirt. I bought it at an outlet. Lol
I’ve this car, tswitch to sports mode when in highway at 100 km/ hr..
The mirrors move when on reverse. Do I have to change the settings so that the mirrors go back to the right position when I change back to drive mode?
No, it tilts down and back up automatically. You can change which mirror does this, or both of them
I wish they would’ve stuck this engine in the CR-V. That would’ve definitely make it beat the RAV4 in sales.
but how many of it you going to buy, you are a madza guy
xse 49 I’m not a Mazda guy, I just like the Mazda6. I am a Honda guy really, I have a CR-V. My sister has a Civic and my grandmother has an HR-V.
@@barbz_zayne they need to watch out for the new nissan rogue too and with the new rav4 prime too, they need to do something to beat them
Never happen no one would buy the rdx
xse 49 yes, they need to stick a 9 spd automatic trans in it, put some paddles shifters in it, pano moonroof, cooled seats, rear heated seats, and bigger and more responsive touch screen. It also needs more power, mine isn’t quite fast at all, and mine is a 19. They need to tune the 2.0l turbo from the rdx to have about 15-25 less horsepower than the rdx, and they need to make full led headlights standard on the gas model. That will definitely keep the sales higher than the Rogue, and on par with the RAV4.
if you could afford either car would you rather have an RDX or the turbo CX five?
CX-5 is the better driver but would probably still choose the RDX because of the extra luxury in the cabin
3:25 ...So you only get to use remote start for 6 months for free? and it can't be done from the key fob and has to be done from a smart phone? on a 46k vehicle?
I bought a 2020 RDX Advance last year, I told them not deal unless without remote start. I told them the something a 50K vehicle without remote start was BS. Vehicles that cost half that much have remote start now days. They threw it in for free. I had to wait a week or some for the parts to come in but when they did the dealership called and completed the work at no charge.
That's what I was thinking. Very disappointed in Acura for treating their customers like that.
@@ronaldprather6944 Yep exactly. I'd really like to speak with whoever or whomever from Acura said it would be okay to not have remote start on this vehicle. They decided to give it heated and ventilated seats and 16 speaker premium audio but then skipped a basic. Huge miss on their part.
Brian Gulley 8
Cant wait to buy a used one in 10 years
those gauges look like my 2002 rsx type s
Sport + mode = 4.3 on 😁 meter? Great SUV!
My dream car. Rdx is the best crossover of its class in the world there's no other suv that even compares. That includes Porsche, Mercedes, Lexucs, BMW, Audi etc.
The 2 rear muffler tips make the car look cheap , what kind of engineering made that muffler tips?
Sorry I test drove a 2019 and bought a 2018 because it had V6 and 6 speed, no CVT. I hated all those black trim, like mine chrome and shinny.
See how long the turbo lasts
I'm noticing a surprising number of new RDX's in my upscale community. I guess pandemic poverty affects everyone
do people who can afford an RDX use coupons?
So what’s the difference? It looks just like my 2020 . Mirror still doesn’t close or open by electric? Dam at least design the key as a engine starter .... BMW X6 M version here I come
