Happy Monday everyone! Thank you again to Keeps for sponsoring this video, please be sure to visit the link www.keeps.com/redline so you can save up to 50% off your first order. For the refreshed RDX, Acura made small but effective changes this year and the next thing we'd like to see from Acura is a hotter RDX Type S model. It makes sense and we think that lovely 3.0L turbo V6 would fit nicely under the hood. Like this comment if you agree!
Instead of the V6 3.0L Twin Scroll, I believe a better option is giving it the 2022 Civic Type R built up motor which would be a direct fit and lighter which in turn will provide better performance. Looking at the size of the engine bay Acura/Honda would have to make some structural changes which isn’t worth the payback.
The MDX and RDX front ends do really look similar. Had it confused this past weekend at the dealership. Kudos to Honda Acura listening to their customers and joining the A Spec with the Advance features. Type S model will hopefully be next 🤞👀
I think it looks much better because I love the new MDX styling. That said, there are difference but subtle. I find it most difficult to tell Audi models apart from a distance.
It's a beast in the snow. I live next to a pretty steep hill. It was 2 in the morning and thought I would have some fun and try to drive up the hill in 8 inches of snow and oem all seasons, totally expecting it to not make it. And to my surprise it went right up the hill with no drama, when I've seen dozens of cars fail. It's like a damn snowcat
Have had our RDX A-Spec/Advance for two weeks. Absolutely love driving this car. Handles like a sports sedan. Excellent power train. Im actually liking the touch pad interface. No finger smudges to clean as I do on my 2021 RAM massive digital screen. Its my wife's car so I set it up for her and she is not much into playing with tech while driving. Love the analog/digital mix display land ambient lighting. Physical controls for HVAC....yea. The auto setting for seat heat and cool is a nice feature. Aligned pretty much with the Redline review, save for nitpicking the lack of touch screen and lack of full digital cluster.
I'm still really impressed overall with the RDX but do think it's disappointing that it's still missing LED rear turn signals and LCD instrument cluster.
@@ProfileRacing89 Amen brother I love the digital/analog combo and the Acura RDX's cluster is one of the best looking ones, specially in the A-Spec with the red accents umm!!!.
Just picked up my 22 Aspec Advanced in liquid carbon, and I absolutely love it. I don't know if I'm too old school, but I actually like most of the things that ppl complain about: - I really appreciate the analog gauge, definitely feels more sporty and the HUD makes up the info of an analog gauge may lack - Love how the steering wheel feels, thick, soft, flat bottom, very sporty looking...steering is just at the right balance between stiff and soft turning - my previous 19 CX-5 signature definitely had stiffer steering - Ppl may judge the center console is messy/disorganized, but I actually LOVE all the buttons, and it's very intuitively placed: screen, temperature, gears. I live in Canada and winter temp can go down to -30/-40 degrees, and touch screen temperature settings would be horrifying!!! My iphone would die when I go snowboarding, just imagine how that gigantic trackpad would do in a cold car! Also, just rmb, more techy/electronic stuff mean more prone to breakdown overtime. My sister has a 2005 TL, and every single button on that car still works after 17 years. That TL just ages extremely well, I still really love the interior of that car, doesn't feel outdated at all. - Driving on a round-about and on a ramp coming off a highway is AWESOME...I totally don't feel like the car is trying to throw me sideways, the SH-AWD is definitely so much more superior than the regular AWD (again I came off the 19 Mazda cx5 signature) - The track pad is not that hard to use...I guess we are just too used to Apple's magic trackpad and laptop trackpad, but if you get over the trackpad concept, and knowing it's a "TOUCH"pad, it's not bad at all. Definitely more inspired by Japanese culture that's centered around character and scripts writing, and you can't scroll through the screen for Japanese character writing.
Glad your enjoying the RDX. Notice better/worse gas mileage compared to the CX-5? I bet it’s an improvement in interior room. I’m debating with trading in my CX-5 for the CX-50 that’s coming or this RDX.
@@artura5702 The gas mileage is definitely a bit better on the CX5 (I was averaging 9.9-10.3 city/hwy combined). The RDX, I've only had it for a week, and I'm getting like 13.1 on mostly city driving - haven't had the time to really drive it out yet. On the gas door, the RDX does say "min 87, recommend 91" so that's good see.
@@stephy306782380 Same. I am in America, so mpg, and I averaged 27mpg lifetime in my CX5 turbo. The RDX looks like it will probably be 23-24mpg lifetime average given my daily commutes so far.
I’ve had my 22 RDX in this exact trim and color combo for 3 months now and I love it. One of the reasons I went with it was because they finally offered the a spec advance package. It’s a comfortable fun ride. I had a 21 TLX A spec SHAWD and I enjoy driving this much more. Now if they come out with a type s variant I’ll be getting that one next. 😅

I love the analog brushed silver dials, a throwback to the RSX, much more than a screen that merely mimics an analog dial. Not sure why the obsession for a Type S given all the positive comments on acceleration and handling. But I would understand Acura coming out with an electrified version though.

I wish I had the chance to drive the GV70 before I purchased my RDX, but it wasn't out yet. It was available a couple months after my purchase. I will say that GV70 interior looks stunning.
@@niuhuskieguy I’d have probably gone with the GV 70 myself… if I could have found one within 500 miles and the local Hyundai dealership said they can’t service the Genesis! Seems like a slick SUV!
TIP: You don't need to hold the start button on the remote till it starts. You only need to hold it till the first amber LED blinks (about 3 secs). It will take it from there.
I test drove the segment and chose the 22 A-Spec Advance RDX...I loved the more aggressive looks of it compared to the GV70, Lexus NX, and German rivals...plus the sporty performance was superior to the others. I bought this car in December, and I can say this is the best car I have ever owned...I can't wait for that eventual redesign with the type-S package...That'll definitely be my next car.
The RDX is literally slower than every single one of its rivals. Superior to whom? My RDX's build quality after 2yrs of ownership has been terrible, especially for a supposed "premium" brand. I'll never buy another Acura again.
So happy to see this comment…I wanted a Genesis but just couldn’t make a deal happen. Not to mention other than the Genesis I had no idea what I wanted and I don’t live in an area where I have access to luxury dealerships…my husband drives BMW and I almost went that route but ended making 6 hour trip last week to buy my Acura A Spec Advance and I love it so far!
I own a 2011 RDX with SH-AWD and glad they added it back. Generation 2 of the RDX was not only boring but it was missing the better AWD system. I do wish they’d just go with a touch screen but the touch pad isn’t bad. I also wish they did offer a hybrid or electric version but guess we’ll see. When the time comes to replace my RDX, it’s on my short list. I love the blue paint and red interior.
I don't like red gauges. Red is supposed to mean warning/trouble. Instead of red, everything should be green or blue. Those colors are also easier on the eyes and more relaxing. Acura is a well-kept secret. Many people don't consider it to be a "true luxury brand" and give it the respect that it deserves - which is a good thing for the rest of us, because it helps keeps prices down way below Mercedes, BMW, and even Lexus models
Acura is simply better engineered than Genesis. Case in point, the MDX Type S is significantly down in power-to-weight compared to the GV80 twin-turbo, but the Acura is still somehow quicker in the 1/4-mile.
just picked one up recently. Traded in my Telluride which sold 12k more than what I paid for pre-pandemic. Acura dealership gave me $1k under sticker so it was a great buy. Drives so much better but I do miss the 3rd row seat. It does take regular. Didn't really see much difference in mileage. It's quite nimble and very quiet inside. One thing that is a nit-pick, when switching drive modes, the RDX model shown on the screen is a base model. Would have been nice if they showed an ASpec Advanced model especially if you bought one in that configuration. Hoping there's a infotainment update they can provide soon.

Love the RDX, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had in a CUV hands down, it just needs a hybrid and a Type S variant. This is how I would rank this segment: 1. BMW X3 2. Porsche Macan 3. Mercedes GLC 4. Genesis GV70 (the 3.5t model) 5. Acura RDX 6. Audi Q5 7. Alfa Romeo Stelvio 8.Volvo XC60 9. Lexus NX 10. Infiniti QX50
@@UnobtaniumsQuickReviews hi, the RDX is the most fun I’ve had in a CUV, however, the vehicles placed above it, have more luxurious interiors, better fuel economy, quicker, and have better tech. If the RDX had a type s model, a full digital gauge cluster, a more high res reverse camera, a bit more luxurious interior, maybe a hybrid or mild hybrid variant and full led taillights then I would rank it closer to the top if not at the number one spot. I will say it is the best value in this segment and I can’t wait for the next generation to see what they do with it.
Whenever I am thinking about a vehicle I go to Redline. Great job with this one! This segment is super competitive and there is a very small gap between the luxury brands and others. (I.e. top end Tucson). I think in 2022 any car that still has the “tablet” look on the dash would not get a serious look from me. It probably takes a lot to reconfigure the entire dash but it just looks so much better when what has become normal in every car is actually integrated into the car vs tagged on.
Just reserved the 2023 in Apex Blue! Living in Canada this was such a great review that heavily influenced my final decision. Can't wait to get into it in November.
I should be picking up my performance red aspec advanced later this week. I cross shopped the X3 and GLS 300. Hands down you get so much more equipment with the Acura than the others for at least $10 grand less. Really looking forward to this new vehicle!!
Wait until you discover the RDX fuel economy is about 30% worse than the X3 would have been! I like my RDX, but the fuel economy reduction from my 19 BMW X4 has been a hard pill to swallow!😩
I have the same issue in winter driving of snow and road muck covering the ACC/CMBS radar behind the emblem and covering the LED headlights. Both need some type of heating element and/or washer to keep them clear. The Acura grill is a S.O.B. to clean when it gets that dirty with road salt and muck from winter driving. I will still take the new grill over the beak.
Yo? Redline, its like you are watching my RUclips history. All these car reviews you are uploading are the exact cars am researching, '22 M3, '22 lexus nx and now this rdx🤔. Kudos
Your 0-60 times are SIGNIFICANTLY better than any other publication's testing of previous RDX's. Have you tested a pre-22 model, do you think Acura changed some things for '22? Also, I am curious if you did a 0-60 run without brake torquing, and if so, if you would mind sharing that data? Thanks so much! I enjoy your reviews immensely.
I don't understand why you would prefer full digital display for gages, it's always better when it's analog. You have enough digital technology without it.
Any comment on interior road noise? Acura claims a 30% quieter cabin but most other reviewers haven’t found the cabin to be any quieter than any other vehicle in this segment.
I test drove the pre-refresh and was really disappointed with road noise. I test drove the refreshed version yesterday and was amazed at how much lower road and wind noise is now.
As we are shopping for 2 row SUV, we came to the conclusion, that this is perfect car minus poor MPG and crappy infotainment system that is gimped by lack of touch screen.We might end up with X3 because of these two factors which are hard to overlook - especialy the infotainment.
Sadly and ironically, the reason Acura doesn't have Hybrids is because they listened. They released the NSX hybrid a few years ago, and one significant criticism made against that car is when Streetspeed717 said, "nobody asked for a hybrid"
I'm looking to buy one of these used. A well equipped A-spec after lease turn-ins are about 60% of the price. Sweet spot for what you get, I'd say! Thanks for the review.
RDX Aspec vs. GV70 2.5T and RDX Type S vs. GV70 3.5T will both be very close matchups. The price creeps for me is killing my budget but boy I do want 1 of these 4 next year. I've test driven both models and the exterior/interior is better for my on the GV70 but the driving/handling/power train is better on the RDX for me. The true touch pad was not a deal killer for me as I got used to it very quickly. Very difficult choices.
I just sold my 2021 Ac ura RDX A specs...thanks God!!! I have dragy and i couldn't get better than 7.3 sec 0-60 no matter what combo I tried (traction off, traction on, D drive, S drive, holding the rpms). This car does not have launch control by the way. 1/4 mile according to draggy in the 15.6@93 but testing was done at 2600feet elevation. Have this car had a proper launch control and it would have shave a clean 1 second of the 0-60. I am glad i did not do the Ktuner of Hondata flash-pro like I was intended. As per the gas mileage, it was below mediocre on the hwy. On two occasions I travel on Interstate I-10 at posteds speeds of 80 mph and gas mileage was in the 19's. I am so happy we let the Acura go. As far is the car overall, it is a great car, the handling is incredible specially with the facrtory sticky low threadwear tires(240 threadwear I think). The interior is very roomy and the quality is outstanding. The brakes are mediocre, not impressive at all. Acura should have given this car a proper launch control instead of none. One of its achiulles tendon is the very limited transmission which apparently it wouldn't handle much torque. For anyone wondering, it is the same engine as the Type minus having a smaller turbo and different intake and programing software. The smaller turbo was choosen for faster response and to get the 4000lbs weight vehicle moving. The Type R instead can get away with the bigger turbo because it weights 3150 lbs and it has FWD so the engine has no trouble with the turbo spool up evenwith the larger turbo.
I traded my 2021 RDx in for 2023 Mercedes GLB. In my case, I don’t mind much the drag speed. It is our family and daily vehicle. My issues with it were the gas mileage, which was way low, I don’t if it’s the way Acura tuned it’s transmission, but I save a few 100 dollars a month with GLB. Second, the awful infotainment, I have no idea why they don’t stick a touch screen in there. The 2021 version has no USB ports which is hindrance, and no 12v in the cargo area, which was also a problem when tailgating. Also, after 10k miles mine started some squeaking noises in the roof area when I hit a bump on the road. Finally, we didn’t get a good deal in the lease for it; so we are actually paying the same monthly fee for our GLB which is about 12k more expensive (we the options we added). Note: A month or two before we traded the Acura in, it’s started having issues with the infotainment screen, it shut off twice on us while on the highway.
At least $53k due to crazy dealers markup (msrp & markup). That’s why I am not in the market for a new vehicle. It’s stupid unless you absolutely need a car.
Acura has the HR-V based CUV called the CDX in China in turbo and hybrid models. Acura does have the Passport and Ridgeline if they wanted to use those.
The Acura RDX type S will probably only get 55hp more, seeing the MDX is at 355hp it wouldn't be good for sales, unless they bump the hp in the MDX. I would definitely pick the RDX in this segment.
Sofy one of my complains on the prior year model of the a spec is that it was appearance only and didn't have the features of the advanced trim. Now you get the real adjustable dampers (not just drive modes) the heads up display and kick to open tailgate plus a I think a few more features (real spare tire and not just fix a flat?). I think this is an important add to the A spec to get these features... Could you comment if you tested out the different modes and notice a substantial change to comfort vs. sport vs. winter in the handling dynamics department?
i had the rdx 2.0 turbo, ride and handling is excellent coz of the sh-awd , but i dont like the new transmission there is a delay from going 2nd to 3rd , wish they could offer the new v6 which is used for type s.

Honda / acura really needs some sort of aftermarket support for their transmissions. I love the quick shifts and peppiness of it but in no way does it compare to BMW ZF transmissions. It’s why I passed up on an Aspec TLX when it first came out. I was like WTF is this crap. Never shifted when commanded , was slow and sluggish . They got rid of the 9 speed , and designed an in house 10-speed but went too conservative. People have complained it switches to 2nd way too early, when on the track, in manual mode, the car still switches gears before redline, causing instances where you command the next gear and it switches right before you so you went two gears up. (3rd to 5th). They need help.
@@chrisrobles2012I agree. If you are used to BMW and Audi, Acura 10 speed is far from performance. It’s geared to MPG and safety. It’s kind of a huge letdown. Honda and Acura must know the 10 speed can’t handle the abuse, so they cut back on throttle implementation to keep trans safe. Honda and Acura plan to go electric soon, so they won’t R&D a new transmission. For performance, bmw and Audi are still the best performing vehicles. BMW’s newer ZF8 is amazing.

We were actually supposed to drive the MDX Type S in Dec, however the event got cancelled due to COVID. We are now leaving this Weds to go and drive the MDX Type S!
Good channel, I love ur videos. The only advice is washing the cars before the video dirty like this and other videos I have look dont look good with ur good content
Agreed. The brand new nx is such a waste of a vehicle since it’s liter just a dressed up rav4 I warned sofyan to not drive it but he refused to listen to me and drove it. The fact that he was very disappointed with the interior and the 250 and 350 drivetrains just shows that I was right all along. And his disappointment is my enjoyment 😁
@@sjohnson7879 like seriously he and other journalists should consider consulting with me on whether future Toyota Lexus products are worth visiting or reviewing. Chances are that unless its on a bespoke platform that’s RWD, don’t bother even looking at it
I had no idea why Acura, Lexus and other luxury car manufacturers kept putting crappy tires on vehicles. Those tires were not cheaper, but they were crap. I wouldn't put any Good Year on my car even if they were free. I switched my tires from Michelin Premix to Cross Climate on my RDX right out of the show room. I put Michelin Defender in my RX350.
Too bad the fuel economy on the RDX is so bad! My 22 RDX Technology is rated at 27 mpg highway but I’ve never been able to get more than 23 mpg. My 19 BMW X4 with a similar 2 liter turbo would easily get 32/33 on the same roads. That’s over 30% better fuel economy from the X4 in the same class vehicle. What’s wrong at Honda/Acura?
Must be the gearing/HP. The 10 speed gives it more acceleration but in sport mode it leaves it higher up in the rpms which causes your gas mileage to go down. Also the bmw 2.0 turbo is 30 or 40 HP less . As you know, more HP or boost causes the engine to need more fuel. I’ve owned the 6cyl xdrive 35i and it never got great gas mileage. It never hit its highest mpg. Weird thing is my Honda Ridgeline gets about 29 to 30 mpg for highway which is well above what a truck should get. The X3 was around 16 to 19 mpg and it was weird not filling up as much after switching!
@@chrisrobles2012 I never did any side by side acceleration comparisons between the X4 and the RDX, but seat of the pants feel I don’t notice the RDX being any more powerful or responsive than the X4. My wife drives the RDX much more than I do, as she did the X4, but when we travel, which we do often, I do all the driving. I basically left both cars in the Normal mode and almost always drive nice and easy. I can tell you putting both in cruise control at 70 mph on the same road under the same conditions the X4, rated at 29 mpg highway, routinely returned 32-33 mpg, where the RDX, rated at 27 mpg highway can barely muster 23 mpg, both burning premium fuel. That’s a huge difference and I seriously doubt there is much difference in the two cars 0-60 times. I like the RDX in a lot of areas, but that’s a huge gap in fuel efficiency and hard to imagine that’s the best Honda/Acura can do.
@@chrisrobles2012 just out of curiosity, I did some research on the RDX vs the X4 and found the following test data from Car and Driver: 0-60: X4 - 6.1 RDX - 6.6 1/4 mile: X4 - 14.8 @ 94 mph RDX - 15.2 @ 93 mph. So what do we gain for that 30% lower fuel economy? 🤔
Razors Edge Adventures , so you want to ignore that the bmw 2.0 is 248 HP and the acura is 272hp? Do you want to ignore the gearing in both? You only want to accept a rated 0-60 time when I already explained that the 10 speed gets them off the line quicker . If you know anything about gearing and AWD you know that some cars do it better than others. The vehicles have been shown in numerous RUclips videos showing their strength launching off the line in all different modes. For you to sit here and post 0-60 when your complaint is gas mileage is illogical. Those tests are done at WOT. That would not be real world gas mileage you complain of. Secondly, the acura would beat competitors off the line while sometimes holding it out to the end or sometimes losing. It all depends on gearing and shift points. 0.2 seconds on camera is virtually no difference. Something your butt dyno couldn’t even decipher. Back to gas mileage. The SUVs are both around 4100 pounds. The only other deciding factor to lower mileage would be aerodynamics. They aren’t much different as in they are both smooth vehicles compared to a flat front van/truck.
@@chrisrobles2012 not looking for a fight, but to your points: What good is more hp and more gears if they don’t improve 0-60 performance, 1/4 mile performance, passing performance or fuel economy? I quoted Car and Driver stats because they use instrumented test under controlled conditions with seasoned drivers who can get the best out of every vehicle. If the RDX 10 sp trans “gets it off the line quicker” then that should be reflected in the 0-60 time… right? I just so happen to know a lot about gearing and AWD, and by the way, have owned both of these SUVs as well as put many thousands of miles on each, so yes, that does make me somewhat of an expert when it comes to living with each. Unlike many, my information nor opinion are formulated by how many RUclips videos I’ve watched. Just sayin! 😉

This is a good review of the car, but I just can’t help but wonder why reviewers of luxury SUVs always put so much emphasis on power and performance. I wonder what percentage of SUV buyers make their purchasing decision on 0-60 times. I like my 22 RDX, but the fuel economy is pathetic and probably at the bottom of the class, and it’s not just the A-Spec version either. Babying this thing on a cruise controlled 70 mph long distance highway ride nets a poor 23 mpg, well below it’s rated 27 mpg, and 30% worse than my 19 BMW X4 that routinely got 32-33 mpg on the highway. That’s shameful. Heck, my 455 hp V8 Camaro can pull 29-30 on the highway. Really Honda? I think most buyers in this class will care a lot more about pain at the pump than 0-60 in their SUV.
@@Unkn0wnAzn probably a little. I made the switch in the name of long term reliability which remains to be seen. I had 35,000 on the X4 with only a couple minor service issues, but I was a little afraid of the long term reliability. I hope the RDX proves to be a good long term runner!
Land Rover also included hybrid option in their manufacturing, I'm really wondering why Honda engineers won't developed a hybrid version since they already have CR-v hybrid. Maybe MDX hybrid won't sold very well.
The Honda hybrids are mpg focused. Acura Sport Hybrids are performance hybrids. Not much overlap between the two hybrid systems. Acura system would add 64hp & 71tq to any powertrain it is mated to.
test drove both and I had a prior year RDX as a loaner for a few days while our MDX was services. The RDX is by far the better driving and handling vehicle as the SHAWD is legit. We live in the rockies so mountain and snow driving are important. The GV70 is to me much better looking and better interior so depends upon your priorities. The RDX still looks good and the GV70 handles just fine.
Cars these days just feel so vanilla with just one SUV/CUV after another. They all just feel the same anymore with the same features people care about, just different badges. Nothing stands out these days or does much of anything special.
Not sure I agree anymore. Last year the 2022 MDX came out and I thought the new redesign inside and out looked better than anything else that was out. I chose it over the BMWs that were out at the time. I also passed over the RDX because it didn’t have the digital gauges like the MDX had . Even this new one 2022 RDX still doesn’t have it. What a shame . Today I thought about trading in the MDX to get back almost what I spent a year ago but there is nothing else I want that looks good.
I have to disagree, I think the new NX has a more luxurious interior than the Acura not saying the Acura is bad but I’ve been on both and the new NX definitely feels more luxurious to me, but that’s just my personal opinion haha
Only a Lexus comformist would say the nx is more luxurious when in reality it isn’t. Thr Acura is way better all around inside and outside The Rdx definitely drives more premium and more European than any nx.
Imo Acura needs better interior designers like Mazda. Aside from the seats it just looks too utilitarian for a luxury or even sport premium brand. It really doesn't feel too diff from their Honda counterparts.
Hi Sofian, What would you choose between Acura RDX advance package vs Genesis GV70 advanced package. Genesis seems to have better interior and overall quality, but Acura RDX has adaptive dampers and better handling. What would you choose?
The super handling all wheel drive system is probably the best in the industry the way it helps the vehicle through turns and during the winter. Adaptive dampers are really awesome as well and keep the vehicle planted The only way you get adaptive dampers is to go with the 3.5T Genesis GV70 that will have adaptive dampers but that's also $67,000

Absolutely 💯 I’d take the Rdx any day over any nx Lexus failed on the new nx. The new NX looks more Toyota than Lexus. A “luxury" car shouldn’t resemble a rav4 or Camry. This market is one of the most competitive and Lexus simply failed to compete. It’s just a fact. In fact even mainstream cuvs like the CX5 or tuscon or sportage or venza are better choices. The Nx is the laughing stock of the segment, just about tied there with the QX50

Happy Monday everyone! Thank you again to Keeps for sponsoring this video, please be sure to visit the link www.keeps.com/redline so you can save up to 50% off your first order. For the refreshed RDX, Acura made small but effective changes this year and the next thing we'd like to see from Acura is a hotter RDX Type S model. It makes sense and we think that lovely 3.0L turbo V6 would fit nicely under the hood. Like this comment if you agree!
So you really going to sell a product when your hairline has been dropping like a drop top??
VANS FTW!!!!
Acura should make the middle back seat foldable for ski pass
Instead of the V6 3.0L Twin Scroll, I believe a better option is giving it the 2022 Civic Type R built up motor which would be a direct fit and lighter which in turn will provide better performance. Looking at the size of the engine bay Acura/Honda would have to make some structural changes which isn’t worth the payback.
The MDX and RDX front ends do really look similar. Had it confused this past weekend at the dealership. Kudos to Honda Acura listening to their customers and joining the A Spec with the Advance features. Type S model will hopefully be next 🤞👀
I think it looks much better because I love the new MDX styling. That said, there are difference but subtle. I find it most difficult to tell Audi models apart from a distance.
Nothing new in terms of other manufacturers. Same sausage different sizes
It's a beast in the snow. I live next to a pretty steep hill. It was 2 in the morning and thought I would have some fun and try to drive up the hill in 8 inches of snow and oem all seasons, totally expecting it to not make it. And to my surprise it went right up the hill with no drama, when I've seen dozens of cars fail. It's like a damn snowcat
Thx. This helps for us that live in wintry climates.
Watch this vehicle get a wait list when they give it the type s trim. It has the styling and tech, it just needs a competitive power train.
Acura will do that only after I commit to purchasing one. That’s how cars work for me.
Have had our RDX A-Spec/Advance for two weeks. Absolutely love driving this car. Handles like a sports sedan. Excellent power train. Im actually liking the touch pad interface. No finger smudges to clean as I do on my 2021 RAM massive digital screen. Its my wife's car so I set it up for her and she is not much into playing with tech while driving. Love the analog/digital mix display land ambient lighting. Physical controls for HVAC....yea. The auto setting for seat heat and cool is a nice feature. Aligned pretty much with the Redline review, save for nitpicking the lack of touch screen and lack of full digital cluster.
I'm still really impressed overall with the RDX but do think it's disappointing that it's still missing LED rear turn signals and LCD instrument cluster.
@@ProfileRacing89 Completely agree! I hate the lag on a lot of LCD display. Analog gets the job done and can look just as good!
@@ProfileRacing89 Totally agree.
@@ProfileRacing89 Amen brother I love the digital/analog combo and the Acura RDX's cluster is one of the best looking ones, specially in the A-Spec with the red accents umm!!!.
This is a 40grand car n that's being generous my 19 maxima platinum got more features than this n its not even a luxury car
Just picked up my 22 Aspec Advanced in liquid carbon, and I absolutely love it. I don't know if I'm too old school, but I actually like most of the things that ppl complain about:
- I really appreciate the analog gauge, definitely feels more sporty and the HUD makes up the info of an analog gauge may lack
- Love how the steering wheel feels, thick, soft, flat bottom, very sporty looking...steering is just at the right balance between stiff and soft turning - my previous 19 CX-5 signature definitely had stiffer steering
- Ppl may judge the center console is messy/disorganized, but I actually LOVE all the buttons, and it's very intuitively placed: screen, temperature, gears. I live in Canada and winter temp can go down to -30/-40 degrees, and touch screen temperature settings would be horrifying!!! My iphone would die when I go snowboarding, just imagine how that gigantic trackpad would do in a cold car! Also, just rmb, more techy/electronic stuff mean more prone to breakdown overtime. My sister has a 2005 TL, and every single button on that car still works after 17 years. That TL just ages extremely well, I still really love the interior of that car, doesn't feel outdated at all.
- Driving on a round-about and on a ramp coming off a highway is AWESOME...I totally don't feel like the car is trying to throw me sideways, the SH-AWD is definitely so much more superior than the regular AWD (again I came off the 19 Mazda cx5 signature)
- The track pad is not that hard to use...I guess we are just too used to Apple's magic trackpad and laptop trackpad, but if you get over the trackpad concept, and knowing it's a "TOUCH"pad, it's not bad at all. Definitely more inspired by Japanese culture that's centered around character and scripts writing, and you can't scroll through the screen for Japanese character writing.
Glad your enjoying the RDX. Notice better/worse gas mileage compared to the CX-5? I bet it’s an improvement in interior room. I’m debating with trading in my CX-5 for the CX-50 that’s coming or this RDX.
@@artura5702 The gas mileage is definitely a bit better on the CX5 (I was averaging 9.9-10.3 city/hwy combined). The RDX, I've only had it for a week, and I'm getting like 13.1 on mostly city driving - haven't had the time to really drive it out yet. On the gas door, the RDX does say "min 87, recommend 91" so that's good see.
@@stephy306782380 Gotcha. Thanks for the response!
I had a 2019 GT Reserve CX5 and agree with all of this.
@@stephy306782380 Same. I am in America, so mpg, and I averaged 27mpg lifetime in my CX5 turbo. The RDX looks like it will probably be 23-24mpg lifetime average given my daily commutes so far.
The RDX with its front to back SHAWD system is the champ in winter climates. I would take it all day long over any rear to front awd systems.
Type S is not coming in this gen, they’ve said it a bunch of times. Still, the RDX is probably my favorite in the segment.
When have they said this? After 2 more years, it seems to ring true but I have never heard it myself
I’ve had my 22 RDX in this exact trim and color combo for 3 months now and I love it. One of the reasons I went with it was because they finally offered the a spec advance package. It’s a comfortable fun ride. I had a 21 TLX A spec SHAWD and I enjoy driving this much more. Now if they come out with a type s variant I’ll be getting that one next. 😅
@@star999nine Haaa! That’s a great point! Prob paid 60k too 🤣
Finally they put the advance options on the a-spec. If they haven’t already I hope they do the same for the tlx.

I love the analog brushed silver dials, a throwback to the RSX, much more than a screen that merely mimics an analog dial. Not sure why the obsession for a Type S given all the positive comments on acceleration and handling. But I would understand Acura coming out with an electrified version though.
The diamond pentagon grill actually looks cool when caked with salt, almost like it’s flying through hyperspace.
Excellent review. I drove the RDX's competitors and I've ordered an RDX with Aspec Advance trim.

I wish I had the chance to drive the GV70 before I purchased my RDX, but it wasn't out yet. It was available a couple months after my purchase. I will say that GV70 interior looks stunning.
@@niuhuskieguy I’d have probably gone with the GV 70 myself… if I could have found one within 500 miles and the local Hyundai dealership said they can’t service the Genesis! Seems like a slick SUV!
@@niuhuskieguy I drove the GV70 3.5t and LOVED it, not as fun as the RDX but the power is VERY addictive.
TIP: You don't need to hold the start button on the remote till it starts. You only need to hold it till the first amber LED blinks (about 3 secs). It will take it from there.
I test drove the segment and chose the 22 A-Spec Advance RDX...I loved the more aggressive looks of it compared to the GV70, Lexus NX, and German rivals...plus the sporty performance was superior to the others. I bought this car in December, and I can say this is the best car I have ever owned...I can't wait for that eventual redesign with the type-S package...That'll definitely be my next car.
The RDX is literally slower than every single one of its rivals. Superior to whom? My RDX's build quality after 2yrs of ownership has been terrible, especially for a supposed "premium" brand. I'll never buy another Acura again.
So happy to see this comment…I wanted a Genesis but just couldn’t make a deal happen. Not to mention other than the Genesis I had no idea what I wanted and I don’t live in an area where I have access to luxury dealerships…my husband drives BMW and I almost went that route but ended making 6 hour trip last week to buy my Acura A Spec Advance and I love it so far!
Does it have ventilated or cooled/AC seats? Google and specs can't seem to answer this question. Thanks.
I own a 2011 RDX with SH-AWD and glad they added it back. Generation 2 of the RDX was not only boring but it was missing the better AWD system. I do wish they’d just go with a touch screen but the touch pad isn’t bad. I also wish they did offer a hybrid or electric version but guess we’ll see.
When the time comes to replace my RDX, it’s on my short list. I love the blue paint and red interior.
I don't like red gauges. Red is supposed to mean warning/trouble. Instead of red, everything should be green or blue. Those colors are also easier on the eyes and more relaxing.
Acura is a well-kept secret. Many people don't consider it to be a "true luxury brand" and give it the respect that it deserves - which is a good thing for the rest of us, because it helps keeps prices down way below Mercedes, BMW, and even Lexus models
I just re-watched the G70 2.5 review, and I was surprised how close the 0-60 was between these 2 given the G70 has more displacement and power.
Probably still won't be as reliable, Why because Acura has WAY more experience building impressive and strong Engines.
Acura is simply better engineered than Genesis. Case in point, the MDX Type S is significantly down in power-to-weight compared to the GV80 twin-turbo, but the Acura is still somehow quicker in the 1/4-mile.
just picked one up recently. Traded in my Telluride which sold 12k more than what I paid for pre-pandemic. Acura dealership gave me $1k under sticker so it was a great buy. Drives so much better but I do miss the 3rd row seat. It does take regular. Didn't really see much difference in mileage. It's quite nimble and very quiet inside. One thing that is a nit-pick, when switching drive modes, the RDX model shown on the screen is a base model. Would have been nice if they showed an ASpec Advanced model especially if you bought one in that configuration. Hoping there's a infotainment update they can provide soon.

@Spider-Man no. The manual says you can do 87 octane (regular). It just sacrifices some engine performance and fuel economy.
Love the RDX, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had in a CUV hands down, it just needs a hybrid and a Type S variant. This is how I would rank this segment:
1. BMW X3
2. Porsche Macan
3. Mercedes GLC
4. Genesis GV70 (the 3.5t model)
5. Acura RDX
6. Audi Q5
7. Alfa Romeo Stelvio
8.Volvo XC60
9. Lexus NX
10. Infiniti QX50
How are you doing that? If the RDX was the most fun, why is it mid-way down? Can you explain a little more what went into this? Thanks!
@@UnobtaniumsQuickReviews hi, the RDX is the most fun I’ve had in a CUV, however, the vehicles placed above it, have more luxurious interiors, better fuel economy, quicker, and have better tech. If the RDX had a type s model, a full digital gauge cluster, a more high res reverse camera, a bit more luxurious interior, maybe a hybrid or mild hybrid variant and full led taillights then I would rank it closer to the top if not at the number one spot. I will say it is the best value in this segment and I can’t wait for the next generation to see what they do with it.
Now rank them all by price based on the trim that you liked, from highest to lowest and see the difference.
Whenever I am thinking about a vehicle I go to Redline. Great job with this one! This segment is super competitive and there is a very small gap between the luxury brands and others. (I.e. top end Tucson). I think in 2022 any car that still has the “tablet” look on the dash would not get a serious look from me. It probably takes a lot to reconfigure the entire dash but it just looks so much better when what has become normal in every car is actually integrated into the car vs tagged on.
Just reserved the 2023 in Apex Blue! Living in Canada this was such a great review that heavily influenced my final decision. Can't wait to get into it in November.
Same here,2023 A-Spec Black ext. with red int. expecting to arrive at the dealer early November!
Finally Acura is punching blows with the top dogs. The last few years they have been slacking.
I should be picking up my performance red aspec advanced later this week. I cross shopped the X3 and GLS 300. Hands down you get so much more equipment with the Acura than the others for at least $10 grand less. Really looking forward to this new vehicle!!
Wait until you discover the RDX fuel economy is about 30% worse than the X3 would have been! I like my RDX, but the fuel economy reduction from my 19 BMW X4 has been a hard pill to swallow!😩
you'll lose that in fuel mileage, the acura 4cyl turbo is just a gaz guzzler , x3 is the absolute best compact SUV right now, its amazing
@@razorsedgeadventures6599 Good point! On the other hand, the Acura doesn't require premium fuel. There's your 30 percent savings right there.
@@johnholst I don’t think the X3 requires premium
@@no9254me You're right. It's just "recommended ".
I have the same issue in winter driving of snow and road muck covering the ACC/CMBS radar behind the emblem and covering the LED headlights. Both need some type of heating element and/or washer to keep them clear. The Acura grill is a S.O.B. to clean when it gets that dirty with road salt and muck from winter driving. I will still take the new grill over the beak.
16:20 Two years?? This is the fourth model year of this generation. I first test drove it almost four years ago.
Yeah, I’m sure he meant that on accident. Came out in 2019.
Yo? Redline, its like you are watching my RUclips history. All these car reviews you are uploading are the exact cars am researching, '22 M3, '22 lexus nx and now this rdx🤔. Kudos
🗣 Acura if you’re listening I’d love to see LED turn signals on the taillights. 👀
Can’t beat the safe feeling of SHAWD in Louisiana rain. Beautiful car. I have the 2022 Aspec Advanced in red.
Touchscreen, please. It would make this a perfect vehicle.
Proud of Sofyan, he got a better 0-60 time than both car and driver and motor trend
The NX is small, RDX is a beautiful SUV. Awesome review as always 👍🏽
NX is disappointing is too expensive
@@ericssonerick6972 Yes, I just don't see the appear.
Your 0-60 times are SIGNIFICANTLY better than any other publication's testing of previous RDX's. Have you tested a pre-22 model, do you think Acura changed some things for '22? Also, I am curious if you did a 0-60 run without brake torquing, and if so, if you would mind sharing that data? Thanks so much! I enjoy your reviews immensely.
Also, yes, I ended up trading my 2021 RAV4 Prime XSE for an RDX ASPEC Advance, so I would indeed 'still consider it' lol!
I like your static camera during the opening. Lots better than the floating, dizzying and sometimes jerky intro camera.
I see tons on the road! Can't wait until you review the MDX Type S
Why's TLX 2.0T with same powertrain and similar weight is slower to 60mph.
I don't understand why you would prefer full digital display for gages, it's always better when it's analog. You have enough digital technology without it.
Please do a review on the mdx type S. Its been out for almost a month now.
Any comment on interior road noise? Acura claims a 30% quieter cabin but most other reviewers haven’t found the cabin to be any quieter than any other vehicle in this segment.
I test drove the pre-refresh and was really disappointed with road noise. I test drove the refreshed version yesterday and was amazed at how much lower road and wind noise is now.
Now I believe that many others like me, are waiting for your review on MDX type S.
Still don’t get how the even the base C-RV gets LED in the back turn signals and this top trim RDX doesn’t!
As we are shopping for 2 row SUV, we came to the conclusion, that this is perfect car minus poor MPG and crappy infotainment system that is gimped by lack of touch screen.We might end up with X3 because of these two factors which are hard to overlook - especialy the infotainment.
Imagine a hybrid version of this. It will sell like hot cake!
Love your car review, comprehensive, well made, high quality.
I love the MDX 😍 I think this would be the one I’d buy 👍🏾 in blue of course 😂 another great review 💙
Sadly and ironically, the reason Acura doesn't have Hybrids is because they listened. They released the NSX hybrid a few years ago, and one significant criticism made against that car is when Streetspeed717 said, "nobody asked for a hybrid"
Agreed.
I'm looking to buy one of these used. A well equipped A-spec after lease turn-ins are about 60% of the price. Sweet spot for what you get, I'd say! Thanks for the review.
I Started seeing this model on the Highway, I always notice it out of the rest👍🇺🇸😎.
You are so right if Acura comes out with RDX type S it will be a winner.
RDX Aspec vs. GV70 2.5T and RDX Type S vs. GV70 3.5T will both be very close matchups. The price creeps for me is killing my budget but boy I do want 1 of these 4 next year. I've test driven both models and the exterior/interior is better for my on the GV70 but the driving/handling/power train is better on the RDX for me. The true touch pad was not a deal killer for me as I got used to it very quickly. Very difficult choices.
There is no RDX Type S and never will be.
I just sold my 2021 Ac ura RDX A specs...thanks God!!! I have dragy and i couldn't get better than 7.3 sec 0-60 no matter what combo I tried (traction off, traction on, D drive, S drive, holding the rpms). This car does not have launch control by the way. 1/4 mile according to draggy in the 15.6@93 but testing was done at 2600feet elevation. Have this car had a proper launch control and it would have shave a clean 1 second of the 0-60. I am glad i did not do the Ktuner of Hondata flash-pro like I was intended. As per the gas mileage, it was below mediocre on the hwy. On two occasions I travel on Interstate I-10 at posteds speeds of 80 mph and gas mileage was in the 19's. I am so happy we let the Acura go. As far is the car overall, it is a great car, the handling is incredible specially with the facrtory sticky low threadwear tires(240 threadwear I think). The interior is very roomy and the quality is outstanding. The brakes are mediocre, not impressive at all. Acura should have given this car a proper launch control instead of none. One of its achiulles tendon is the very limited transmission which apparently it wouldn't handle much torque. For anyone wondering, it is the same engine as the Type minus having a smaller turbo and different intake and programing software. The smaller turbo was choosen for faster response and to get the 4000lbs weight vehicle moving. The Type R instead can get away with the bigger turbo because it weights 3150 lbs and it has FWD so the engine has no trouble with the turbo spool up evenwith the larger turbo.
I traded my 2021 RDx in for 2023 Mercedes GLB. In my case, I don’t mind much the drag speed. It is our family and daily vehicle. My issues with it were the gas mileage, which was way low, I don’t if it’s the way Acura tuned it’s transmission, but I save a few 100 dollars a month with GLB.
Second, the awful infotainment, I have no idea why they don’t stick a touch screen in there. The 2021 version has no USB ports which is hindrance, and no 12v in the cargo area, which was also a problem when tailgating.
Also, after 10k miles mine started some squeaking noises in the roof area when I hit a bump on the road.
Finally, we didn’t get a good deal in the lease for it; so we are actually paying the same monthly fee for our GLB which is about 12k more expensive (we the options we added).
Note: A month or two before we traded the Acura in, it’s started having issues with the infotainment screen, it shut off twice on us while on the highway.
Thank God I will buy one for myself
I wish they would have made the turn signal quieter i feel like it’s far too loud. I know that’s personal preference
My lil 2013 tsx gets 22 mpg but the driving is superb. Acura isnt known for mileage
At least $53k due to crazy dealers markup (msrp & markup). That’s why I am not in the market for a new vehicle. It’s stupid unless you absolutely need a car.
Cant wait for the next redesign of the RDX with stiffer chassis and a double wishbone suspension
I just want to point out you do some mad good adverts
I think Acura needs more vehicles in their lineup like two row Suv & a smaller crossover or sedan
All of it.
Acura has the HR-V based CUV called the CDX in China in turbo and hybrid models. Acura does have the Passport and Ridgeline if they wanted to use those.
The Acura RDX type S will probably only get 55hp more, seeing the MDX is at 355hp it wouldn't be good for sales, unless they bump the hp in the MDX. I would definitely pick the RDX in this segment.
I would agree with him on the transmission logic of the ten speed. Acura needs to tighten that up a bit.
Sofy one of my complains on the prior year model of the a spec is that it was appearance only and didn't have the features of the advanced trim. Now you get the real adjustable dampers (not just drive modes) the heads up display and kick to open tailgate plus a I think a few more features (real spare tire and not just fix a flat?). I think this is an important add to the A spec to get these features... Could you comment if you tested out the different modes and notice a substantial change to comfort vs. sport vs. winter in the handling dynamics department?
i had the rdx 2.0 turbo, ride and handling is excellent coz of the sh-awd , but i dont like the new transmission there is a delay from going 2nd to 3rd , wish they could offer the new v6 which is used for type s.

The Turbo V6 will be on the 4th gen
Honda / acura really needs some sort of aftermarket support for their transmissions.
I love the quick shifts and peppiness of it but in no way does it compare to BMW ZF transmissions.
It’s why I passed up on an Aspec TLX when it first came out. I was like WTF is this crap. Never shifted when commanded , was slow and sluggish . They got rid of the 9 speed , and designed an in house 10-speed but went too conservative.
People have complained it switches to 2nd way too early, when on the track, in manual mode, the car still switches gears before redline, causing instances where you command the next gear and it switches right before you so you went two gears up. (3rd to 5th).
They need help.
@@JermigggricooooAcura is actually going electric. So this is last one.
@@chrisrobles2012I agree. If you are used to BMW and Audi, Acura 10 speed is far from performance. It’s geared to MPG and safety. It’s kind of a huge letdown.
Honda and Acura must know the 10 speed can’t handle the abuse, so they cut back on throttle implementation to keep trans safe.
Honda and Acura plan to go electric soon, so they won’t R&D a new transmission.
For performance, bmw and Audi are still the best performing vehicles. BMW’s newer ZF8 is amazing.
I find it odd that Acura hasn’t released the MDX Type S as a press vehicle to Journalists. It has to be a reason why they decided not to do this…

Good channel, I love ur videos. The only advice is washing the cars before the video dirty like this and other videos I have look dont look good with ur good content
Very nice. I like this. I would definitely buy this over the Lexus NX. Great job Acura/Honda
Agreed. The brand new nx is such a waste of a vehicle since it’s liter just a dressed up rav4 I warned sofyan to not drive it but he refused to listen to me and drove it. The fact that he was very disappointed with the interior and the 250 and 350 drivetrains just shows that I was right all along. And his disappointment is my enjoyment 😁
@@naveenthemachine lol
@@sjohnson7879 like seriously he and other journalists should consider consulting with me on whether future Toyota Lexus products are worth visiting or reviewing. Chances are that unless its on a bespoke platform that’s RWD, don’t bother even looking at it
I had no idea why Acura, Lexus and other luxury car manufacturers kept putting crappy tires on vehicles. Those tires were not cheaper, but they were crap. I wouldn't put any Good Year on my car even if they were free. I switched my tires from Michelin Premix to Cross Climate on my RDX right out of the show room. I put Michelin Defender in my RX350.
Too bad the fuel economy on the RDX is so bad! My 22 RDX Technology is rated at 27 mpg highway but I’ve never been able to get more than 23 mpg. My 19 BMW X4 with a similar 2 liter turbo would easily get 32/33 on the same roads. That’s over 30% better fuel economy from the X4 in the same class vehicle. What’s wrong at Honda/Acura?
Must be the gearing/HP. The 10 speed gives it more acceleration but in sport mode it leaves it higher up in the rpms which causes your gas mileage to go down.
Also the bmw 2.0 turbo is 30 or 40 HP less . As you know, more HP or boost causes the engine to need more fuel.
I’ve owned the 6cyl xdrive 35i and it never got great gas mileage. It never hit its highest mpg.
Weird thing is my Honda Ridgeline gets about 29 to 30 mpg for highway which is well above what a truck should get. The X3 was around 16 to 19 mpg and it was weird not filling up as much after switching!
@@chrisrobles2012 I never did any side by side acceleration comparisons between the X4 and the RDX, but seat of the pants feel I don’t notice the RDX being any more powerful or responsive than the X4. My wife drives the RDX much more than I do, as she did the X4, but when we travel, which we do often, I do all the driving. I basically left both cars in the Normal mode and almost always drive nice and easy. I can tell you putting both in cruise control at 70 mph on the same road under the same conditions the X4, rated at 29 mpg highway, routinely returned 32-33 mpg, where the RDX, rated at 27 mpg highway can barely muster 23 mpg, both burning premium fuel. That’s a huge difference and I seriously doubt there is much difference in the two cars 0-60 times. I like the RDX in a lot of areas, but that’s a huge gap in fuel efficiency and hard to imagine that’s the best Honda/Acura can do.
@@chrisrobles2012 just out of curiosity, I did some research on the RDX vs the X4 and found the following test data from Car and Driver:
0-60:
X4 - 6.1
RDX - 6.6
1/4 mile:
X4 - 14.8 @ 94 mph
RDX - 15.2 @ 93 mph.
So what do we gain for that 30% lower fuel economy? 🤔
Razors Edge Adventures , so you want to ignore that the bmw 2.0 is 248 HP and the acura is 272hp? Do you want to ignore the gearing in both?
You only want to accept a rated 0-60 time when I already explained that the 10 speed gets them off the line quicker . If you know anything about gearing and AWD you know that some cars do it better than others. The vehicles have been shown in numerous RUclips videos showing their strength launching off the line in all different modes.
For you to sit here and post 0-60 when your complaint is gas mileage is illogical. Those tests are done at WOT. That would not be real world gas mileage you complain of. Secondly, the acura would beat competitors off the line while sometimes holding it out to the end or sometimes losing. It all depends on gearing and shift points.
0.2 seconds on camera is virtually no difference. Something your butt dyno couldn’t even decipher.
Back to gas mileage.
The SUVs are both around 4100 pounds. The only other deciding factor to lower mileage would be aerodynamics. They aren’t much different as in they are both smooth vehicles compared to a flat front van/truck.
@@chrisrobles2012 not looking for a fight, but to your points:
What good is more hp and more gears if they don’t improve 0-60 performance, 1/4 mile performance, passing performance or fuel economy?
I quoted Car and Driver stats because they use instrumented test under controlled conditions with seasoned drivers who can get the best out of every vehicle.
If the RDX 10 sp trans “gets it off the line quicker” then that should be reflected in the 0-60 time… right?
I just so happen to know a lot about gearing and AWD, and by the way, have owned both of these SUVs as well as put many thousands of miles on each, so yes, that does make me somewhat of an expert when it comes to living with each. Unlike many, my information nor opinion are formulated by how many RUclips videos I’ve watched. Just sayin! 😉
No digital rear view mirror?
This or Telluride? Thanks.
Both nice! But it's apples and oranges. Not the same thing at all.
Need add full screen mode for Apple car play & gps maybe next year 🤷🏾♂️🤬
Nice thumbnail pic but don't forget it has wireless Android Auto as well for us Android users, you know the 2/3 of us in the world. 😊
Ventilated or cooled/AC seats? You used both terms. Thanks.
Not a huge fan with the newly added front air vents in the front bumper. Everything is else is spot on
Its 2022 and still no touch screen. 😩
I hope Acura does a A-spec advance for the MDX
That center console is a hot mess, deal breaker for me.

What exactly do you mean? Could you please explain what the problem is with the center console?
@@dewitwine there isn’t one
Ohh, that Mercedes 300TE 4MATIC making a surprise guest appearance.
Saw that too!!
This is a good review of the car, but I just can’t help but wonder why reviewers of luxury SUVs always put so much emphasis on power and performance. I wonder what percentage of SUV buyers make their purchasing decision on 0-60 times. I like my 22 RDX, but the fuel economy is pathetic and probably at the bottom of the class, and it’s not just the A-Spec version either. Babying this thing on a cruise controlled 70 mph long distance highway ride nets a poor 23 mpg, well below it’s rated 27 mpg, and 30% worse than my 19 BMW X4 that routinely got 32-33 mpg on the highway. That’s shameful. Heck, my 455 hp V8 Camaro can pull 29-30 on the highway. Really Honda? I think most buyers in this class will care a lot more about pain at the pump than 0-60 in their SUV.
0-60s = bragging rights
To be fair, its nice to have more power than less power as long as its a smooth power delivery.
@@Unkn0wnAzn I bet there isn’t 1/10 second 0-60 between the X4 and the higher hp RDX… and I couldn’t say which way the advantage would go.
@@razorsedgeadventures6599 perhaps RDX for probably doing it at a lower price point
@@Unkn0wnAzn probably a little. I made the switch in the name of long term reliability which remains to be seen. I had 35,000 on the X4 with only a couple minor service issues, but I was a little afraid of the long term reliability. I hope the RDX proves to be a good long term runner!
Hell, I’ll take 23mpg, I only get 12mpg in my ML350
Land Rover also included hybrid option in their manufacturing, I'm really wondering why Honda engineers won't developed a hybrid version since they already have CR-v hybrid. Maybe MDX hybrid won't sold very well.
The Honda hybrids are mpg focused. Acura Sport Hybrids are performance hybrids. Not much overlap between the two hybrid systems. Acura system would add 64hp & 71tq to any powertrain it is mated to.
What would u pick .. RDX or the GV70 4 turbo (I assuming the prices are similar) ??
GV70…. If I could find one!
RDX all day, but if you want more power and the smoothness of a V6 get the Gv70 3.5t
RDX!!
test drove both and I had a prior year RDX as a loaner for a few days while our MDX was services. The RDX is by far the better driving and handling vehicle as the SHAWD is legit. We live in the rockies so mountain and snow driving are important. The GV70 is to me much better looking and better interior so depends upon your priorities. The RDX still looks good and the GV70 handles just fine.
It’s hard to believe that this is a $50,000 car. Again 50 K for a RDX. And it’s actually hard to believe that that’s not a typo
A-spec tires and sh-awd knock the overall mpg by one each
What An Amazing Review On A 2022 Acura RDX 😀😀
Acura....can we please get a Typs S variant of this Gen? Give the people what they want!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do the gauges not change color with the different driving modes?
I still think the Volvo XC60 and genesis gv70 are the best looking and more minimalistic
Cars these days just feel so vanilla with just one SUV/CUV after another. They all just feel the same anymore with the same features people care about, just different badges. Nothing stands out these days or does much of anything special.
Not sure I agree anymore. Last year the 2022 MDX came out and I thought the new redesign inside and out looked better than anything else that was out.
I chose it over the BMWs that were out at the time. I also passed over the RDX because it didn’t have the digital gauges like the MDX had . Even this new one 2022 RDX still doesn’t have it. What a shame .
Today I thought about trading in the MDX to get back almost what I spent a year ago but there is nothing else I want that looks good.
Does this RDX refresh have the new multi-chamber airbag?
I have to disagree, I think the new NX has a more luxurious interior than the Acura not saying the Acura is bad but I’ve been on both and the new NX definitely feels more luxurious to me, but that’s just my personal opinion haha
NX isn’t as fun to drive as the RDX.
Only a Lexus comformist would say the nx is more luxurious when in reality it isn’t. Thr Acura is way better all around inside and outside
The Rdx definitely drives more premium and more European than any nx.
@@naveenthemachine it’s just my opinion man, I’ve driven both and to me the NX has a more luxurious to me
@@GlennTerryJr you are absolutely right my friend, the RDX is a more sporty vehicle than the NX, that SHAWD is really really good
x3 is still the absolute king right now on the market, sit in one and drive one if you disagree.
It's priced as such as well.. Like for like it's $10k+ higher than a comparable RDX at least where I live.
I agree with you, but the long term maintenance bill for the RDX won’t be as high the X3.
@@GlennTerryJr irrelevant if you lease
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
No ambient lighting in the rear ?
Please do review on 2022- Range Rover velar
Imo Acura needs better interior designers like Mazda. Aside from the seats it just looks too utilitarian for a luxury or even sport premium brand. It really doesn't feel too diff from their Honda counterparts.
Hi Sofian,
What would you choose between Acura RDX advance package vs Genesis GV70 advanced package. Genesis seems to have better interior and overall quality, but Acura RDX has adaptive dampers and better handling. What would you choose?
The gv70 handles a bit better because it’s a RWD based vehicle.
The super handling all wheel drive system is probably the best in the industry the way it helps the vehicle through turns and during the winter. Adaptive dampers are really awesome as well and keep the vehicle planted The only way you get adaptive dampers is to go with the 3.5T Genesis GV70 that will have adaptive dampers but that's also $67,000
Did you use 1ft rollout for 0-60 ?
17:00 A Type S and a touchscreen infotainment away from greatness.
21:00 Sharp steering.
22:55 Good value.
Not a big fan of the new wheels.

@ Sofyan, would you prefer this over the Lexus NX?
Absolutely 💯 I’d take the Rdx any day over any nx
Lexus failed on the new nx. The new NX looks more Toyota than Lexus. A “luxury" car shouldn’t resemble a rav4 or Camry. This market is one of the most competitive and Lexus simply failed to compete. It’s just a fact. In fact even mainstream cuvs like the CX5 or tuscon or sportage or venza are better choices. The Nx is the laughing stock of the segment, just about tied there with the QX50
