    Excellent review. My only complaint is that giant center dial is a complete waste of real estate. How often we do keep changing the driving dynamics on a daily basis? That dial could have been used as an alternative to the touchpad input for the infotainment screen. The driving dynamics can be moved to a smaller dial somewhere else.

      A fully loaded Telluride will cost you more like $55K after a bs dealer markup right now due to high demands for it. If not that you're paying at least MSRP.
      With this RDX I'm sure you should be able to get $5K-$6K off easy using special programs out there.

    I leased the 2019 RDX Tech Pkg end of March 2019 and I have to tell you, I absolutely LOVE this vehicle. I've had "zero" problems with this vehicle. It's possible that earlier buyers of this vehicle (no changes between 2019 & 2020 except additional color and slight price uptick) were guinea pigs for the new technology until the bugs were worked out; remember, the 2019 came out July, 2018. Anyhow, wow, what a vehicle. I traded in a 2016 TLX Tech Pkg for this beauty and just love it. I swore years ago I'd NEVER buy a 4-cylinder again. Well, just test-drive this SUV cross-over and you'll agree it is really peppy.....much more peppy that my 2016 6-cylinder. Put it into SPORT + mode (which I do when on freeway sometimes) & it feels even more sporty. New info system, GREAT. Took me a whopping 48 hours to get it down pat. Yes, no Android Auto yet; bummer. But, believe it or not, the NAV system is so great, that when Android Auto is available, I'm not positive I'll ever use AA as you'll have to attach a cord to do so and with the present NAV system being so great, maybe I'll not want to do use AA. The touch screen in my 2016 always had messy finger prints on it; ugh. I can't comment on AWD. I live in Southern California and several dealers told me that I didn't need AWD unless I frequently drove to the mountains......which I don't. But, some reviewers that have AWD say that they love that feature. AWD gives you a spare tire too which other modes do not have unless you get it as an option. The interior is just beautiful. I LOVE not having the gear-shift handle like my 2016 TLX. One person commented on the round dial that changes driving modes, e.g. SPORT MODE vs. COMFORT mode, etc. Who cares? Really folks, we're splitting hairs here. It is one extra dial on the center console.

    You’re absolutely right about the wheels on the base being much nicer than on the advanced model. I own a 2021 advanced model and think that it should have come with brushed aluminum wheels, power folding mirrors with rear climate controls at a nearly 50k price point. Not optioning the AWD is the equivalent of buying the car with three wheels. The AWD is truly awesome. I’ve consistently gotten 28 mpg on long highway trips using cruise control.

Maybe not a full 25 plus minute one but a shorter one on the looks and differences. I feel like more people will end up getting the A-SPEC because of the look of it. I’d love to hear your commentary on how you think it looks and if the couple extra features you get in the advanced is worth it more than the looks of the A-SPEC or if the tech package which is 3000 cheaper is worth it over the looks of the A-SPEC. I just bought a 2020 A-SPEC in black with red interior and I had these same questions when I was at the dealership but I went with look over everything else because it really does make the car appear completely different...thank you for all you do and all your hard work...keep the videos coming

Fun fact from my research: 2019/2020 RDX has same smooth athletic fun to drive 10 speed transmission (detuned Civic type R) as 2018/2019 Honda Accord 2.0T but RDX is tuned for a bit more power over the Accord as shown:
    POWER
    Accord: 252 hp @ 6,500 RPM
    RDX: 272 hp @ 6,500 RPM
    TORQUE
    Accord: 273 lb-ft @ 1,500 RPM

      @@Nowhy Lots to like about the car. Its a great engine in the wrong car. It's a weedeater motor that belongs in a miata or civic. While there is torque it is all at the top end, where it doesn't matter as much. There is a foot of space behind the engine. You can bet very soon a 6 hole turbo will get stuffed in. Same scheme as for the new TLX. I traded a 17 rdx advance for the 2020 advance. I like the new one..........many improvements. The cornering ability of the car is outrageous. We are talking major gforce as compared to wallowing body lean. I am guessing 0.8+ which is huge for such a car. They have stiffened up the body 10X. I suppose the variable shocks help as well.........I am not sure yet. I will learn more.

Sorry, bad explanation, but you probably already know or can find an article about it somewhere - autobeatonline for instance.), lots of torque from the get go and then the steering... It sure ain't perfect, but I don't think there is a contender in that class (CUV) for that kind of money. If you want extras in other brands, it gets expensive really quick..

The only saving grace for me is the Android Auto bales out the hilariously lame stock version. It's a shame as the car is brilliant in many ways.

  • @jhodroff180
    @jhodroff180 5 лет назад +9

    Great review as far as it goes, but like all other reviews I’ve seen on the new RDX, it fails to evaluate how well the technology works.
    I’ve owned a 2019 Advance spec RDS (identical to the 2020) for over 8-months and I am totally disappointed. Yes, the car looks fantastic, and yes it drives and handles superbly, but that’s where it ends! The technology on this car is subpar at best. To compare this car to its German rivals is a joke, it comes nowhere close!
    When I refer to technology, I’m referring to things like lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, navigation, voice recognition, automatic climate control, and general infotainment features. They are all lacking in functionality, or in the case of Android Auto, totally missing.
    To be specific, lane keep assist will fail even when rounding a slight curve (ruclips.net/video/PiRBnh5MHa4/видео.html), the blind spot monitor won’t come on until the front end of the passing car is almost at the B-Pillar, making it not only useless, but dangerous. The navigation technology was obsolete 3 years ago, ditto for the voice recognition feature which requires very carefully worded phrases. Google maps with Android Auto might be a good alternative, but in spite of promises that AA would be available on the 2019 models, it still isn’t available on the 2020 models. On hot summer days the interior temperature of the car is at least 10F warmer than what the climate control is set to. It’s also worth mentioning, that in spite of the fact Acura claims a 10 ½” infotainment screen, it is permanently divided into two sections, so in reality you have one 6-3/4” screen and one rather useless 3” screen. They cannot be combined, so in reality the navigation map for example, is only 6-3/4”. If you select the backup camera + the surround-view camera, they are both crammed onto the 6-3/4” screen. The surround-view camera by the way, is the worst I’ve ever seen!
    Bottom line, before you consider this car, drive it and insist that you test all of the features (or lack thereof) that I’ve mentioned. If you just want a car that looks and drives great, then no problem, but if technology is important to you, look else ware! If you spend money for the technology upgrades, I guarantee you’ll be disappointed.
