These fresh Acuras are more powerful and efficient than their predecessors. They’re safer, more responsive and more lively under hand. Though not generally the most luxurious or best-performing cars in their competitive sets, each makes a case for itself based on a balance of luxury, performance, safety and value.

All RDXs are powered by a new, 276-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 paired with a six-speed automatic. FWD trims earn 23 mpg combined/20 mpg city/29 mpg highway; AWD is rated at 22/19/28. The new engine uses Variable-Cylinder Management to boost efficiency without impacting performance. Under light loads, such as freeway driving, the engine can run on as few as three cylinders.

On my daily drive route, the RDX settled confidently into the winding two-lane highway at the bottom of the hill. Turn-in is quick and accurate and the RDX tracks curves with little body lean and zero drama. From behind the wheel, the RDX feels more sport-sedan and less upright crossover.

New high-contrast silver and gray trim bits enliven the cabin. Lined storage cubbies add a quality feel. Acura’s two-screen infotainment/navigation paradigm is a logical — and easily mastered — solution to the problem of the too-busy touchscreen.
-
New active engine mounts, increased suspension-mount stiffness and steering-system tweaks reduce the amount of noise, vibration and harshness that filters into the cabin. Acura’s newly standard “Jewel Eye” LED projector headlights cast a bright, sharp light against the dark. LED taillights are now standard, as is a rearview camera.
