12/9/2023 0 Comments 3018 acura crossover![]() ![]() If these aforementioned features aren't required than I think the RDX sits in between something like a loaded Honda CR-V and a Buick Envision, Infiniti QX50, Volvo XC60. The top of the line Advance trim offers some nice features as nice rims, heated & ventilated seats, remote engine start, rain-sensing windshield wipers, fog lights, and front and rear parking sensors but still lacks Android/Apple compatibility, heated steering wheel, heated outboard seats, panoramic moon roof, high grain leather, thigh extenders, wireless charging, 360 cameras, plus the RDX lacks some of the materials associated with a luxury car. I mostly cross shopped the RDX against the Lexus NX 200t AWD and while the Lexus just is more luxurious and offers more high end features it can costs thousands more than a RDX, it lacks the cargo/utility of an Acura, and noise wise it is louder, which is odd to say about a Lexus. The basic AWD system is fine and probably more than enough in most situations, but Acura's SH-AWD system is almost equal to Audi's Quattro system and it could have helped in acceleration since the RDX does suffer from some wheel squeal. Even though most luxury compact crossovers are oriented for utility and comfort it's sad that Acura omitted SH-AWD from the 2nd gen. The car emits a healthy growl and is equipped with VCM so even with a V6 the RDX's 19/27 MPG is very respectable since a Lexus NX 200t AWD w/ a 4 cylinder turbo gets 22/28 MPG. ![]() One of the best parts of the 2nd gen RDX is … the bullet proof 6 speed transmission paired to the 3.5L V6 engine, that has 279 hp and 252 lb-ft of toque, which means a healthy amount of instant power to the wheels. The car is basically unchanged for 2018 and with the 3rd gen 2019 RDX on its way this summer you probably can score a good deal on a current gen or get one if you refuse to adopt to a high speed transmission w/ a turbo engine. While the RDX 2nd gen has been around since 2013 the car has aged well and received a nice mid cycle refresh in 2016. The Advance package includes all of the features from both AcuraWatch Plus and Technology package and adds front and rear parking sensors, automatic wipers, foglights, auto-dimming side mirrors, remote ignition, and ventilated front seats. The Technology package adds blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert systems, a navigation system, traffic information, GPS-linked climate control, leather upholstery, an eight-way power passenger seat and a 10-speaker sound system. The AcuraWatch Plus package adds a forward collision warning and automatic braking system, a lane departure warning and keeping system, adaptive cruise control and a color trip computer display. It includes 18-inch wheels, a rearview camera, automatic LED headlights, cruise control, keyless ignition and entry, a power liftgate, a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power front seats (eight-way driver, four-way passenger), premium vinyl upholstery, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, an auto-dimming mirror, Bluetooth phone and audio, and a seven-speaker sound system with satellite radio, Pandora internet radio control (streams from smartphone), an auxiliary audio jack, a USB port and a media player interface. The ZDX nameplate returns for the 2024 model year attached to Acura's first all-electric SUV offering.Even without any packages, the RDX standard features list is packed. That gives us a clue as to what will power the ZDX: a rear-mounted electric motor with 340-hp in base trim, with the possibility of a 500-hp, all-wheel drive variant offered as an upgrade-possibly wearing a Type S badge. Previous reports said that the Acura will be built alongside the Cadillac Lyriq SUV at GM's Springhill, Tennessee assembly plant. On the practical side, the ZDX is the product of a partnership between Acura's parent company Honda and General Motors the ZDX will utilize GM's Ultium battery. The interior features elements that we think the production car won't be able to pull off, including a narrow yoke-style steering wheel and a transparent infotainment system. The concept's styling is interesting, with a floating roof, smooth body sides, and a light-up grille. The new SUV was previewed by the Precision EV Concept that debuted at 2022's Monterey Car Week event. ![]() Unlike the original ZDX, which debuted for the 2010 model year with fastback styling that was arguably ahead of its time, the new 2024 ZDX SUV is set to wear a more traditional two-box SUV shape. Acura is beginning its journey into an electric future by resurrecting a name from its past: ZDX. ![]()
