2019 Acura RDX A-Spec SH-AWD Test Drive Video Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- Since the RDX first went on sale back in 2006, Acura has sold over 375,000 models. That makes this model the most successful compact luxury crossover. Past RDX models are not as competitive with its German rivals in terms of styling and performance. New for the 2019 model year is the redesigned third generation RDX. Prices range from $37,300 for the Base trim up to $47,400 for the Advanced Package AWD trim.
The RDX incorporates fresh styling from the larger MDX sibling and the TLX sedan that includes a black diamond pentagon grille, LED Jewel Eye headlights, and 20-inch rims. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque. Fuel economy is 21 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. The interior is a perfect blend between sporty and luxury.
Dynamically the RDX has a tough task since it must compete with crossovers like the BMW X3. The steering is responsive with great feel. The power is generous. Once the turbo spools up the RDX is really fun.

I am thinking of adding this car to my channel which currently consists of my 2019 Corvette GS and the ownership experience. I think this is one of the best looking SUVs on the market today! Great review
My husband just went to pick up this extact model in Dallas! Cannot wait to drive her! We traded in our beloved 2006 Aura TL...named Aniston...after Jennifer. Long story haha! Thanks for walking me through since I couldn't be there to test drive it too! Trying to stay safe! I see lots of road trips in our future 🥰🥰
Never trade a TL, come on man
Picked a white one up recently. I have to say from coming from 2 sports cars as my previous cars; I really enjoy driving this. Practical and fun to drive. Great bang for your buck.
How's the leg room I'm 6'0
@@tonyaguilar2151 I'm not that tall but you shouldnt have any issues with leg room. The new RDX wheel base is longer than previous versions and size is comparable to original MDX. I'd definitely recommend a test drive to see if leg room works out for you.
@@jlowdio thank you. I'm a definitely check it out in person.
jlowdio How is the back row? Can I fit 2 teenagers and a 11 year old comfortably?
@@EpiCz_Izzy Back row is nice.They did a great job with interior. I think they'll be comfortable.
I can't wait till 2023 that's when i can get for roughly around $17,000 to $18,000 and it will be either a 1 or 2 ownership.

I can wait i brought my 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD back in April of 2013 with only 98,000 miles for $17,250 dollars i can wait.
Yeyup 22k in 5 years patience is a virtue
That intro was kinda awkward
Center console reminds of my 1994 Aiwa stereo cassette player.
Interior is better than 2019 MDX...even exterior.
Why no HUD?? Thats like the only thing thats not included in the A spec that i need
Only thing missing is digital gauges and power folding mirrors.
And a slide / reclining rear seat, 40/20/40 folding seats, and rear sunshades.
MY RDX comes with power folding mirrors, welcoming light, Remote started and head-up display. May be because of PL Elite Canadian model
@@fayezulbhuiyan5268 Y'all always get more options in your vehicles than the States.. I'm jealous 😆
I love the gauges reminds of me the RSX type S gaugaes
Fayezul Bhuiyan Do you have to pay for your remote start in Canada? It is available free at first then there is a fee where on GM vehicles it is free for 5-years.
I came here just as soon as I heard "$70,000" in a Nautilus review.
Am i the only one who misses the actual gear stick?.....the buttons are not impressive....
Awesome review the RDX is a fun SUV with great power practicality and comfort
Sise Esan One of the last near luxury 2.0T compact SUVs along with QX50 to offer turbo-4. Many in this segment are discounted less to low $30's like Buick Envision 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD.
Norm T yes it is and it’s a good one
Sise Esan It is the newest so it should be good.
Norm T yea you’re right
+Norm T There is a reason the Chinese-built Envision is on discount. You get what you pay for.
Need a type s model then acura gets my money
They are going to make an type s maybe for 2020 model
aaronchase38 Not available for current models.
G-Man So Fly New engine comes with newly designed models.
I like his vehicle. Keep trying to convince myself not to get it but it’s no use.
Thinking about buying Acura MDX? Think again.🔮🦌🦌🦌 How come, Acura. Three weeks passed and no answers. 🦌🦌🦌🔮A car under warranty 25 000 miles was towed way to the dealership. Three weeks have passed and they are still looking into the issue". It's like looking for a niddle in a haystack" they said. "Something with electronics " Meanwhile No loaner is provided by Acura!!! The only offer from them was to tow the car to a different dealership at Your expense. Be aware. Acura MDX will broke , Acura road assistance will come 15 hours later and tow it away. You'll not hear from them for three weeks. They will not give you a loaner or pay for your rental car because " what if it's not a warranty case". Acura client relationships says " we understand your frustration. They are still looking into the problem with your car". Stay away!🤑🤑🤑
i work at acura, they are making The MDX a-spec, already saw it in person!!
Juan Cruz Wheels and blacked out trim too?
yes sir
Nice, careful sharing any of that on social media tho, Acura R&D will break down your door and take you to jail just for giving away a color lol. My father worked in Honda R&D and got to see the new 2017 model Type R before release. He told us that if he gave showed us any photos he would have to kill us
Dude, when will they update the infotainment system for MDX? The car is pretty good but that system is really outdated
What they need to do, is bring back a proper Type S Acura TL.
“It also has a lot of speeds, 10 speeds”
All cvt garbage overtime
"The brakes too, while a bit spongey in the pedal feel, certainly brings the vehicle to a stop without much drama at all." That's what brakes are supposed to do, so why even mention it? That's like saying, "The roof, while a bit low for my head, certainly keeps the sun and wind out of the car."
Well he's mentioning it because some roofs will let wind and sun in.
It's worth noting because some SUVs in the segment don't behave the same. For example, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio has a very aggressive and odd feeling brake pedal that slows the vehicle dramatically. The brake feel is an important detail.
Very nice review. Because of this I'm getting one.
It might be competing with the Germans. But this will outlast all of them. I've never seen an x3 with over 150k miles. and if there is one it needs work
Tidwell maybe but bmw is class Acura is a glorified Honda, depends on one priorities what they go for
Acura Rdx is one of the best and value for money small luxury crossover suv.
50 plus grand you called best value for money?
I just don't understand why someone would buy this one over MDX ??? The price is almost the same . I think RDX is over price plus mpg not so good . People be careful you buy this one check the mpg .
Walter 777 Smith are you joking? The MDX is about $7k more expensive at base. Hardly the same price. An A-spec AWD MDX is almost 10 grand more than an A-spec AWD RDX. So if you don’t need three rows, can’t afford the MDX or want to save 10 grand, or want the newer vehicle, why would you choose the MDX?
RDX is the Best
Francisco Gutierrez Not even close!
I can’t wait to drive this car😍
At 2:00, I'd add the XC60 perhaps to that list. And it has a 310hp option. The X3 has better too with the m40. I like the cars that have engine options with better performance instead of having only one option that's really under powered for it's size. Tho, 270 is adequate for the car.
(On a related note...) I'm not a fan of companies only giving eco engines on their smaller vehicles. I want the power and performance in a smaller car. I don't want to have to up in size in order to get the power. Not everyone gets/wants a small vehicle for economy reasons. This is where the Germans have it right with the S, M, and AMG (and some other European makes). I can get the smaller C coupe with the power I want. I don't need nor want a larger car. I'm sure many people would wish that this A-Spec version was more than just an appearance package, and that it also gave a power boost to 310-330hp to go with the better looks.
Totally agree.. I feel exactly the same way, give your customers the option. I like Apple products force you to by what only they want
The 2019/20 RDX is beautiful, but the one thing stopping me from getting it in 2 months when my current lease is up is the fact that I cant get the surround view camera with the Aspec pkg, even if I'm willing to pay the 5 grand more to get all the packages! It's a careless and stupid omission.
Best car ive seen so far!
Who else constantly gets spammed by the rdx ad?
Jason Kandola same
This is a great review
Would you get this or the new Jeep Wrangler Sahara? I know 2 completely different cars but they are around the same price. Thanks in advance
I don’t think this RDX has strong competitors, german cars don’t come even close to Acura reliability, longevity and resale value.
AB, where did you get this bum ? )) Kidding. Nice review as usual
That was a really good review! Thanks.
Thanks Adrian!
when you try to operate that complicated infotainment system he says is easy to use, you wont think this is such a great review
2019 MDX please
I really like that color combination with the white exterior and red interior , and the ELS system looks nice too
i guess it is quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch new movies online?
@Xzavier Calvin Flixportal :D
@Lewis Boston Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!!
@@xzaviercalvin8734 your welcome!
@Xzavier Calvin You are welcome xD
This Acura is def better than the BMW x3. you get more features, not just a name. and its a head turner on the road
Is there a reason why the grill has a hole on one side (below the headlight) and not the other?? Usually on the LEFT side(driver side).
omg!!! a young milesper/h 🤩🤩
Steering weight is sharper Does that mean the shaft cam idle pulley will last the first 10 years of the car? I love the way this car performs it handles well and is sporting a classic style for men ore women
Too bad they do not have HUD for ASpec. And I like butter knife on door bottoms. Hopefully MDX will get the same redesign next year. Especially interior
The red seats killed me. Takes away from the black/white elegance. Gorgeous car tho!!
I agree. It would be a lot nicer if it was white seats with black accents/trim
The X3 M40i is 355HP, it’s the most powerful compact suv in its class
And the most expensive and the most UNRILIABLE BRAND !!!!))))))
You should also be comparing it to the Jaguar F-pace, Porsche Macan, and Alfa Romeo Stelvio which are even sportier than the X3
And yet another $15,000 more expensive.
Killer stuff on the Internet. Different class as the Honda+ is just that.
is thdose the rdx have the same motor as an accord
Kind of a RDX Type R SUV.....NICE
I like the tax dollar joke good work
0 60 in 5.6s ? Can someone post a video ? This car is more like 6.5s
@The Insufferable Tool
Yeah you're right.Toyota did the same thing with the 2018 toyota camry.
Babs Only 6.6s by C&D. Consumer Reports only got 7.0s. C&D is calibrated for conditions but are always the fastest.
The Insufferable Tool Just like C&D review of the Civic Type-R, it was much slower in a comparison test after the initial test and very noticeable.
Definitely a ringer!
@@layne4376
Video please.
@jmasoncar s
This acura is a really good car but not fast.
Infiniti qx50 is faster according to motortrend.
From motortrend
At the test track, it was a bit of a toss-up. The 268-hp crossover recorded a 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds and a 15.1-second quarter mile at 91.6 mph. That's a good bit slower than the last 280-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport we tested but slightly quicker than the 272-hp Acura RDXA-Spec.
Need more seating and more Versatel if I was commuting and not retired I would do lexus but retired now
If you want more seating you have the mdx
What state are you in ?
I prefer the CRV look exterior and interior. Only thing missing is the Accord sport 2.0 turbo in the CRV and a manual transmission option with beefed up equipment to compete with RAV 4 Toyota adventure for towing capacity
I need a shifter though.
Great review....
Thank you!
Not a bad review, but when comparing to the competition, make sure you consider all options. You state that the RDX has highest in-class power. The Lincoln MKC 2.3 has higher power and torque ratings.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee KL has 279 hp
At 6'3" I do not fit in a BMW X3.
No tri-zone control makes this on par with a $24K Equinox 2.0T. The non-sliding and reclining rear seat just adds more fuel to the fire making this a CR-V 2.0T with HR-V styling.
That fact that you like your own comments says a lot. You must say up dreaming about the rdx all night...its really got you rattled.
@@jmasoncars4452 He doesn't want a superior vehicle (and company) to hurt sales at the Buick dealership. In a way I don't blame him, it's his livelihood.
Norman keeps forgetting about the good old days when General Motors went to Honda motor company with their knee pads on begging for engines. www.caranddriver.com/amp/news/the-shock-of-a-hondafied-vue-car-news
Even if it has tri-zone control you would still complained about something else.
Ryan Littleton Acurazine and RDX Facebook page would disagree with you. The owners are questioning when too many glitches are too much.
Ladies and germs?
This guy is a tool.... I can't even finish this review...
“Acura you don good “
This is a great looking suv!
How much? I have a 2016 Lexus GS f sport I am considering selling and buying this car what’s your opinion ? I’m looking for better fuel mileage maintenance depreciation we live on the big island and don’t need the ultimate one
Michael O'Loughlin Allot of 2.0T compact SUVs in the near luxury segment in the $30's but only a few with torque vectoring AWD like this and Buick Envision with 295 lb-ft of torque.
Michael O'Loughlin The RDX is really nice, They’ve always has great resale value , and it has solid reliably scores currently, it’s a very nice SUV I’d check it too.
Why? Lexus is reliable especially the GS that car will last you at least 15 trouble-free years.
Wade H The GS is a quite old plat form so the car it self should be reliable after years of improvement, but many people also don’t like the look of new Lexus cars and it won’t age well, Besides Acura has been in the game longer than Lexus so there’s a little history for the any Acura
MPG in the city is mid teens. I drive around NYC and I struggle to get 15mpg.
Looking to purchase around $46500
Wait you reviewed the car & didn't rehash the ebrochure anyone can easily Google? Huh.
I just got a quote of $55000 for this car amazing 3 Dealer’s Santa Rosa Marin and Honolulu
...ripoff.
I don't care what the brochure says about SH-AWD, I want to see it and a FWD trim go head to head on a (road) track [same tires] in both dry and wet to see what my real (world) advantage actually is...if it's less than a few seconds then give me a better argument to go SH-AWD to justify the price premiums
SH-AWD has almost no impact on straightline acceleration (also, by the way, I think you mean tenths of a second, not seconds-- there is NO technology that will knock SECONDS off your acceleration). The SH-AWD setup has a hugely positive impact in the corners. I'm sure you could see improved laptimes on a track, but its more about the feel. In power-on situations, SH-AWD is just flat-out excellent and far, far, far superior to just FWD and on-par with RWD-biased platforms. It is not a marketing gimic, it is a real and really useful technology, pioneered by Acura 12 years ago, that has a positive impact on the driving feel and performance.
K03sport No duel axis strut like GM Hiper strut in the Envision. So off throttle itll just understeers.
alliejr Buick Envision 2.0T got Hiper strut but RDX did not get fuel axis from CTR. So the RDX will just under steering when not acclerating.
SH-AWD in my new MDX phenomenal and a necessity in New England... #pu$$y
I want the trim on the back door 😑
Great Review. I must applaud Honda/Acura for this thorough redesign. My only wish was for a touch screen interface. Heck all 3 German luxury brands are either headed touchscreen or already there
canonlybeme4life Hknda+ finally only matches all other compact 2.0T SUVs.
This or the new RAV4?
We have to wait for a while until Toyota lifts the news embargo on horsepower, 0-60 acceleration, fuel economy, and driving impressions for the new Rav4. But from what I've seen, it's a pretty cool SUV. And the hybrid version is supposed to have outstanding performance and industry-leading fuel economy.
@@zzanatos2001 completely different vehicle. Apples to Oranges.
@@rickfrank7934 Both are small, crossover SUVs with 4-cylinder engines and lots of technology features. They are competing vehicles. However, you are right about them being very different. Personally, I like them both.
I live in NY. I was offered this car for $480 a month with $5K down paying for taxes and 4 months of lease payment (Around 1K) what should I counter offer with? Thank you.
All the informations not interested to most of the people don’t care. We need information like all the safety is working and
all the new gage is work. You think we need all the gadgets and what is you need on opinions ( price )
Similar platform as CR-V as they are assembled on the same line by the same workers.
Literally not even a "similar" platform to the CR-V. How many times does this have to be explained to you Mr. Salesman?
totally different platform this go around
Also, built in a completely different factory. Shill for GM all you want but at least get your facts correct.

Damn turbo charged. That's the reason why I'm not getting it. Honda is already failing badly with the turbo charged engines on their new civic with bad oil dilution issues.

@Joshua Jacob And there's many more. Want me to keep posting?
Typical American junk will be in the shop after 50K miles. That turbo is going to crap out. Acura needs to bring back the ZDX as a subcompact hatchback/crossover at a reasonable price with improved fuel economy.
Sorry but you're wrong...X3 has engine option that provides 355 HP.. a lot more than that little dinky four cylinder...
Car & Driver has the Bspec tested at at .4 slower to 60 mph than RDX V6.
i got both the old RDX and the new one and i have tested the new one at 5.7 sec, you will def feel faster if you go test drive the new one
Jimmy Cheng don’t even respond to Norm T. He is literally on every video of the Acura RDX trying to spread lies about how the best selling luxury compact suv of its segment is terrible and comparable to a brand like Buick. It’s laughable. He works for GM and hasn’t even driven or been in an RDX.
Jimmy Cheng Consumer Reports just finished testing the RDX 2.0T and it did 7.0s 0-60 mph. Looks like C&D was correct in calling the A-spec a B-spec or C-spec instead.
AFCompany The 2019 RDX 2.0T hype is falling flat with slower than previous gen v6 and even slower Emergency Lane Change handling at 52.5 mph where my 2016 Envision 2.0T got 55 5 mph in CR testing. The Envision 2.0T costs less and also offers torque vectoring AWD.
Norm T Good luck man
That's sexy!! The car is nice too.
Uh the SH-AWD is rear biased not front biased
I was thinking that same thing.

@@LivingStone4Christ
Turbocharged engines have existed for decades and this type of ignorant and outdated thinking still exists. Pathetic.
There are a lot of people who think that anything less than a V-8 is weak. They're the same folks who buy Dodge Rams with 5.7-liter Hemi engines and have no need to ever haul or tow anything with them. They also struggle to pay for all the fuel needed to keep those thirsty engines chugging down the road.
Worst comment ever.
The Hyundai Tuscon has it too. They're quick but will crap out after 50K+ miles. A weak engine trying to move this heavy vehicle is gonna destroy it.
Cheap car with high price you can’t compare with German car. All plastic material all around just like your brother Honda CRV.
Johnny L It doesnt really compare and it more near-luxury.
All German car seats are horrible.
I would never actually use the panoramic moonroof.
Live a little, gotta take advantage of that moonroof along with that ELS sound system on a nice sunny day with the windows down!
Please throw away ugly jewel lights and tail light. RDX is good car but really needs new designer.
Kinda late guy. Everyone has done the rdx review already.
engalvan Honda+ is late to the compact 2.0T suv game.
Honda Owns ACURA, and Why does a $25,000 Accord get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. But a $50,000 RDX get some kind of Mickey Mouse interface.
IceColdKilax it has android auto and carplay as well
It already has Carplay and Acura is working directly with Google to bring Android Auto to existing 2019 and future RDX models. The touchpad is actually quite intuitive, but there are compatibility issues with AA, as AA is generally a touch-oriented system.
That intro was super Lame 🤬

If singer okay have a kid Honda pilot better
Where tf the rsx and tsx
Awkwaaaaaardddd...... lol
Overstyled. Overhyped.
What an ugly car?!
Test drove this.. drove like sh*t. Not a comfortable ride at all.. basically a nicer looking CR-V.
You're full of shit.
Looks like a teenagers vehicle. Don't like the exterior styling at all Very bland and cheap looking.. The rear tail lights are ugly and it sits too low.
But eh if people are saying it's gorgeous and it's selling like 🔥 hot cakes then I will run out and buy one because EVERYONE is saying so. ¿©®§
Is it selling like hot cakes? I dont know but i had to wait 3 weeks for my car and i saw 15 delivery same day. Its so fun to drive. I really like its gorgeous beautiful interior. I check BMW X3 i30 and Audi Q5 before I bought mine, and found out RDX is thousand times better money and performance wise.
I don't like the all black trim, either. It looks cheap and it's not going to wear well. They should have used some type of dark nickel-chrome plate - would have looked much better.
