Nice ride! I brought my 2020 MDX in for an oil change and tire rotation today and saw your EXACT SAME RDX in the showroom. Loved it! Would consider it but I really don’t drive mine much, have it 20 months and only have 5,500 miles on it. Not worth spending money on something that’s going to sit in the driveway. By the way, at 11:30 you didn’t block out your license plate. Good luck with the ride, I’m sure you are enjoying it! Thanks for the vid!
Thanks a bunch. Appreciate it. Yea I am loving it. The color combo is sweet! I like that MDX too. Would have got that one if I had the extra funds. Yea I know I noticed that with the license plate after I uploaded it and started getting views. I didnt want to take it down...
So glad Acura included the Adv features with Aspec with the +22 RDX models. I have a 08 RDX 2.3T with +190,000 miles and it is still going strong. I was going to replace the 08 RDX with a 19 RDX; but, I test drove a 19 MDX hybrid on a whim and just couldn't pass that up (handed down the 08 RDX to my daughter).
Yeah you cannot lose either way. The MDX and the RDX are both beautiful cars. I would have gotten the MDX if it wasn't so much extra money. May think about upgrading to that one in the future
@@ElevateTechnology quick question, I bought a CPO 2021 acura Rdx a-spec Only got one key fob and it doesn’t look like a key fob from Acura it’s wrapped in a red plastic and I can’t figure out how I would change the battery or pull out the key that’s built into it. Is this normal ?
I have a 2021 RDX advanced and it has some standard features - HUD, adaptive dampers, heated steering wheel rear heated seats, enhanced sound insulation in the windows and a spare tire- that the Aspec doesn’t. The advanced lacks polished aluminum wheels that should be standard at this price point. The zero to 60 acceleration time is advertised as 5.6 seconds. I think this is pretty quick for a luxury mom & pop suv.
Yea there are definitely that are missing from each. I wish I had that HUD...😯 That 0-60 in sports + with paddle shifting, I got to about 6 or 7 seconds. Its toward the end of the video. But maybe im just slow on the shifting...
@@ElevateTechnology I’ve read that the car is quicker in sport mode letting the automatic shift. That said, it’s a great car for the money. To match its performance and features you’d be considering SUVs in the mid 50 to 60 thousand dollars range. I think the back up camera is of poor quality.
You should put roof rails on it. The kind that go from front to back on the sides of the roof longways. Makes car 3x as cool looking. Do it. Do it now.
Nice review! You highlighted a lot of features about the car and Acura in general that a lot of reviewers fail to mention. Are you still loving the vehicle? Any complaints over the years?
Agree about lack of digital speedo. Plus, I'm color impaired and the speedo is red. I can barely see it in the daytime. And you can't change the color. P.S. I didn't know you could buy a heads-up speedo. You just made my car life a lot better. Also, my sunroof creeks whenever car bends, like going into a driveway or plaza entrance. This is a known problem with the RDX. I've had two with the same problem. You get used to it. They won't fix it anyway. Requires replacing the whole sunroof and they're not gonna to that. I tried. Other than those two issues love my RDX.
I never was a fan of digital speedometers most of the time. They refresh so slow and don’t update smoothly like an analog speedometer. Great video BTW.
Was watching the video and heard you say it doesn’t have a digital speedometer, that’s incorrect. I have the A-Spec RDX. Toggle your settings and it will pop up in the center of your dash, I leave mine on because just like you I hate looking at the dial would rather the digital speedometer. (Assume you found it by now since this video is a year old now)
I spent a few hours trying to set up the digital speedometer that did not exist, ughhhh! Also, ambient lighting is absent. Other than that I love this car.
I have the same one but white my problem is I feel like there some wrong with the gas or I’m not sure is lik super slow like is being force to accelerate I tried different gas stations everything
Got them off amazon. Something like these: 2Pcs Universal For Wireless Car Door Logo Light LED HD Welcome Courtesy Ghost Shadow Projector Lamp Fit for MDX,RDX,ILX,TLX,TSX,TL,RLX,ZDX Series www.amazon.com/dp/B08GX1WZ6F/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_6SVSYY2VJEVMZNYKXM90?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This was a great review. I have the same exact one and everything you described is how I feel. Wish it had digital dash, I don’t like the track pad at all. Overall it’s nice but will definitely come out early.
Yeah the brake are very different in this acura I have owned alot of Acura and none of them break like that it a learning process like all car if u paying attention to characteristics of the car ✌️
Hi, just ran across your page and just wanted to say do you think the gas mileage on the cars are good because I just bought a 2021 RDX from Acura and the gas mileage every time you put gas in it it just eats up so fast within days the gas is gone. Please give me your opinion. Thank you
@@ElevateTechnology oh yeah, I just like that specific grey metallic color. They don't allow that combination. I'd have to get white, silver, or black as the exterior color. Also, you have a link to that Acura logo spot light you added?
how is the bass level or customizability of the sound settings? also, have you thought or looked into getting ambient lighting for the interior? im in the mark to get a RDX A-Spec but the car market is high.
The bass and sound is nice (8 out of 10). It has 3D sound which is cool but its not going to knock your socks off. I was recently in an Audi Q5 2019 & a Ford Explorer 2020 that knocked just as hard if not harder. I haven't gotten a chance to dig into the customizability of the sound settings yet but will and hit you back.
Great review! I have a 21’ model and just saw on the 22’ they come standard with the digital speedometer. I saw your HUD on that care was installed cleanly and I didn’t notice any wires? Was it wireless or did you just hide the wires?
Thanks appreciate it! Digital speedometers was a definite miss. It is indeed wired. Just tuck the wire behind the dashboard. Wasnt too involved to install.
All of them habe factory rear main seal issues. If car is not moving. And heat is on no ac you will! Smell faint oil vapours, inside and out of ur car. 19ilx, 2 ilx loaners, 21 tlx 2 loaners. Current rdx and 3 loaners all very bad same problem. Spread the word
Great content. Getting the car Monday. A spec advance. Would you recommend taking wheel and tire protection on it? Any issues with a slightly lower profile tire and potholes? Thanks
Yeah it will brake for you. Almost scared the hell out of me. 😆 I don't like that they don't offer the Acura Link features for free. That turned me off from this car. The brakes do suck a bit and the take off jerks you. First and last one for me.
Yea I have experienced the brakes stoping for me like twice. It really does wait for the last second. My auto start expired the beginning of the year. I thought my app was messed up. Took ne like a week to figure out I have to pay again
Ironically, the Acura is an American made car, by an American company (owned by Honda, founded in America in 1986, my birth year, ironically), designed and assembled sub-assemblies (Engine, trans, etc) in America. Not Japan---where it has never been sold. Wild but true.
No wireless charging, no hud, no 360 cameras or eagle view, no auto pilot driving, the adaptive cruise control is retarded sometimes, engine is too loud, gas mileage is not the best, doesn’t brake in case of a collision, we were expecting more but we bought one anyways
Yeah, that’s true. There were definitely some shortcomings with this vehicle. Things I would’ve expected but for what it is it was a pretty good buy. Don’t regret it 1 bit. It does break in case of collision. I’ve noticed a few times but it’s really at the last split second.
Nice! To disable the system Pull and hold the headlight lever toward you for about 40 seconds, until the indicator flashes twice. To enable the system Pull and hold the headlight lever toward you for about 30 seconds, until the indicator flashes once.
The A-Spec model doesnt have the 360 cam. Wish it did. I rented a Ford Explore a month or so back. It really came in handy when verifying you are evenly in parking stalls.
LOVED THE EXPERT USE OF YOUR DRONE IN THE VIDEO. GRAET JOB ALL AROUND. THANK YOU.
Can't wait for my 2023 to arrive next month. Obsessed with this car.
The different camera angles are perfect, love the rdx, make more videos of your car. ❤
Thanks a bunch. Appreciate you! Love this car as well

I am going to look at the exact same car today…the red interior looks awesome
Bro, that elevate license plate trying to keep up with the car had me rolling lmfao.
I know was trying hard!
I agree with the breaks. I just test drove one and felt that. My 2016 RDX doesn’t do that so noticeable difference for sure.
Launching drones off the car is cool man. 😎
Lol yes sir!
This grey color is gorgeous 💚
Thanx, I love it!
Great video , worth my time
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

It’s. Rocket , my 2011 335 does 60 5.5 - love it has the accord 2.0 motor - sounds like 2021 is the year to get
I’ve never had a issue with mine braking but I have the tech package
You should put roof rails on it. The kind that go from front to back on the sides of the roof longways. Makes car 3x as cool looking. Do it.
Do it now.
Great presentation fella!!! I still have not seen or heard anything bad at all about the Acura RDX.
Thanks a bunch. Appreciated. Yeah I'm still loving this car
Didn't know the car had an app. Thanks!

True. This aftermarket digital speedometer is a little bit off but it still works. Thanks a bunch I appreciate it
Panoramic roof standard ? Or pay more .
I believe it comes standard!

Amazing video keep it up bro ❤️
Thanks! Will do!
The car is very beautiful
What is the exterior color of the car?
This is the Liquid Carbon Metallic
Great video 💪🏻
Thank you!
Can you link the HUD you used? Any pros and cons?
To bad the rear window keeps busting in cold weather, using the rear defroster
Mine braked when I approached the garage to fast it scared the day light out of me 😂😂
feel the same about the brakes
Do you have the link for the heads up display?

They are ventilated seats not ac seats
Amazing review
Actually the driving modes should have been a must in the list of 15 things haha. Sport Plus transform the personality of this car.
Yes indeed. That was the bonus #16 at the end of the video! Sport Plus is a beast.
Amazing content
Outstanding car
Yes sir! Thank you
Great Video. Love Acura
What phone holder are you using for your phone ?
I have the same one but white my problem is I feel like there some wrong with the gas or I’m not sure is lik super slow like is being force to accelerate I tried different gas stations everything
Yea I understand completely. A full tank of gas only gets you about 250 miles. It does feel like its trying so hard to rev up sometimes.
That's a very great this video... Thanks a lot
No problem. Thanks you!
Is the car good on gas? How long do you typically drive before you need to get gas?
The gas mileage isn't great. Dont drive much during the week so usually like once a week
How did you get into sport +?
This is a amazing video & also nice car
Thanks a bunch! Appreciate it.
What is the brand name for headup display?
Lovvvvve mines. ❤
hey man great review ,,,whats the background music.. stay awesome

Really love that color. I wish we had the option to get black interior with it.
Thanks! You can get the A-Spec package with black & red stiching.
@@ElevateTechnology oh yeah, I just like that specific grey metallic color. They don't allow that combination. I'd have to get white, silver, or black as the exterior color.
Also, you have a link to that Acura logo spot light you added?
Oh i see. Damn, I wish you could customize and put whatever features available. This one needs the factory head up display
how is the bass level or customizability of the sound settings? also, have you thought or looked into getting ambient lighting for the interior? im in the mark to get a RDX A-Spec but the car market is high.

Does this car offer remote start?
It does have remote start but you have to pay for the app on your phone. Then it has remote features
Nice video.. and it will definitely brake for you I’ve tried it a couple of times on the highway.
When I turned on the adaptive cruise control (which is sweet) it brakes automatically but still hasn't braked while driving normally.
@@ElevateTechnology ima do a updated video on it and I will make sure to include that part so you can see it
@@coralinejonesx5685 Nice, I am looking forward to it!
@@ElevateTechnology you
Its verry good for me.. So thanks for share..
Nice video 👍
It was between this and the BMWx5 XDrive. I think I'm going with this!
Yea I was contemplating the X5 too. RDX just has the better bang for your buck! and wont cost so much for maintenance.
Do you know if the background color of the gauges can be changed from red to something else? I am guessing no.
Great review! I have a 21’ model and just saw on the 22’ they come standard with the digital speedometer. I saw your HUD on that care was installed cleanly and I didn’t notice any wires? Was it wireless or did you just hide the wires?

2022 will b digital speedometer?
What us exterior color?
The exterior on this one is Gray
Drives me crazy they won't add a way to see speed on that middle screen. 22 and up does but not ours
It will brake if u are getting too close. My honda does that
dynamic mode selector, can you switch that while your driving or do u need to be on complete stop?
You can definitely switch while driving!
All of them habe factory rear main seal issues. If car is not moving. And heat is on no ac you will! Smell faint oil vapours, inside and out of ur car. 19ilx, 2 ilx loaners, 21 tlx 2 loaners. Current rdx and 3 loaners all very bad same problem. Spread the word
No
drive mode in sport+ and transmission in S, its a little rocket
great review. I SEE U ON THEM SHIFTERS lmao thank you

very nice content
I got mine 6 weeks ago, I still don't like the infotainment system.
Other than that is a nice car
It takes a little while to get use to it
It takes getting use to but now I like it better than touch screen by far
Where is the spare tire?
Sad to say... No spare tire. Acura claims that since its 20" rims they don't give you one, but you get AAA to compensate. smh
Its under the car I have a 19 with advance package
Great question. I dislike the tire underneath the back of the vehicle.
Nice car
The fitchar is owsom

I have the 21 model RDX. How do you get the daytime driving lights to flash? I notice they were flashing.
Nice! To disable the system Pull and hold the headlight lever toward you for about 40 seconds, until the indicator flashes twice. To enable the system Pull and hold the headlight lever toward you for about 30 seconds, until the indicator flashes once.
The 360 Birdseye view is cheap. They need live real-time view
Compared to Nissan it sucks
The A-Spec model doesnt have the 360 cam. Wish it did. I rented a Ford Explore a month or so back. It really came in handy when verifying you are evenly in parking stalls.
@@ElevateTechnology thanks for that info
Acura does have live 360, this car just is not equipped. Only comes on Advanced models
