2021 Acura RDX Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, and Photos

We give the 2021 RDX a 7 for attributes. In base form it’s properly-outfitted, and Acura has a fairly prolonged selections record. We’re no followers of its balky infotainment touchpad, which expenditures it an added place for otherwise robust infotainment.

The base RDX will come in just underneath $40,000—another $two,000 if you want all-wheel drive. It has electric power front seats, leather upholstery, 19-inch wheels, electric power attributes, a ten.two-inch infotainment display screen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. 

An optional $two,900 Know-how Deal bundles tons of attributes, from blind-spot displays and parking sensors to upgraded audio and navigation. We’d select this RDX, with or devoid of all-wheel drive, dependent on how much north we lived.

For $45,625 the RDX A-Spec provides sporty touches like sueded upholstery, twenty-inch wheels, heated and cooled sport front seats, aluminum trim, and sixteen-speaker high quality ELS audio. 

The $forty seven,525 RDX Advance provides a cavalcade of luxury touches, from upgraded leather and wood trim, to ELS audio, a head-up display screen, adaptive dampers, and cooled front seats.

Acura’s menu-intense, Android-dependent infotainment functions properly enough, but it’s saddled with a touchpad interface that we’d consciously prevent by way of Apple CarPlay and prolonged, prolonged, playlists. Touchscreens are one particular of life’s compromises it’s time for this program to undertake one particular.

The Acura guarantee covers the RDX for four years or 50,000 miles.
