2019 Acura RDX

The 2019 Acura RDX made its world debut at the 2018 North American International Auto Show, providing a first look at the bold new design, advanced technology and luxury features of the luxury, five-passenger SUV, launching later this year. 

The all-new 2019 RDX has been completely redesigned and re-imagined.  It will launch in mid-2018 and Acura promises exhilarating performance, class-leading cabin and cargo space, and a host of groundbreaking new Acura technologies. In addition, the 2019 RDX will be the first Acura SUV offered with an A-Spec trim, adding sport styling inside and out. 

The new, Acura-exclusive platform features a sophisticated new chassis and an all-new powertrain, a powerful, yet fuel-efficient 2.0-liter DOHC VTEC® Turbo engine mated to a segment-first 10-speed automatic transmission. The 2019 model also marks the return of Acura Super-Handling All Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) to RDX, in its most advanced form yet, giving RDX the most sophisticated and capable torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system in its class.

The 2019 Acura RDX also debuts a completely new Acura True Touchpad Interface that is designed from a clean slate and combines the best elements of a touchscreen and remote interface in one powerful system. 

The new RDX boasts a more athletic stance, with a wider track and longer wheelbase. The distinctive front fascia is married to a sculpted body with sharp and dynamic character lines and all-LED exterior lighting featuring the next-generation of Acura Jewel Eye™ LED headlights. 

The 2019 Acura RDX is powered by a new 2.0 liter, 16-valve DOHC direct-injected engine with a low-inertia mono-scroll turbo and DOHC VTEC™ valvetrain and Dual Variable Timing Cam (Dual VTC).  The new engine delivers 40 percent more low-end torque than the outgoing RDX. The new 10-speed automatic transmission (10AT) is a segment first that responds quickly and will capitalize on the 2.0-liter engine's flat torque curve.  All-wheel-drive models of the 2019 Acura RDX will utilize a newly developed rear differential with a 150 percent increase in maximum torque capacity relative to the outgoing RDX.
