Year two of the second generation for the Acura RDX and it holds up as possibly the cheapest luxury compact SUV with some class leading stats.
We drove the 2020 Acura RDX A-Spec for a week to find the pros and cons and help you decide if it's a good fit for your family.
*CORRECTION: In the video we stated the first driving mode as, "eco", when it it's 'snow'.
*UPDATE: Customers have said their new RDX now has Android Auto!
US Pricing (Add $2k for AWD):
Standard: $37 600
Tech: $40 800
A-Spec: $43 800
Advance: $45 700

Pro trick : watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Gibson Javier definitely, I have been using flixzone} for since december myself =)
@Gibson Javier Definitely, been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :)
I got the 2020 RDX AWD A-SPEC two months ago and I love it!!! 😍😍😍 also I have android auto and works perfectly. I don't have any complaints 😊😊😊
That's great to hear, Dianne! I really enjoyed the RDX too. I'll put the Android Auto info in the description, thanks for the tip!
I currently own a 2019 RDX and I really enjoy it. I drove many competitors and the RDX was the best choice for me. Android auto has worked flawlessly since the last software update.
Great to hear!
When did you update the software for Android auto?
@@vinhly6633 I was updated back on October, I believe. It's an over the air update. Make sure your acura it's connected to a wifi network and then look for the update.
@@theuniverseconnection I was having an infotainment update at the dealer last month and they said still not available.
Ty, I will try it again myself.
...since the last software update...
Job well done. Great review. Great editing & camera angles; sound, content. Nice vehicle, nice review. Thank you.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it :)
Yeah this is my next lease cannot decide what color they all look so good
Funny how that's often the toughest choice!
Actually, even tho it looks like a trac-pad, it's not. I understand getting used to takes minutes, and I'm very very close to ordering a loaded RDX. Thank you for the review!
Hope it treats you well!
Great review but must disagree about the track pad - it took us about 30 minutes to get used to the system and now we love it. Sure keeps fingerprints off the screen!
I love that color I wish the CRV for 2020 had that color
My wife and I traded in our 2017 RDX for a 2020 RDX with the Technology Package. Beautiful car, great technology, and provides a fantastic ride. Acura did an outstanding job on refreshing the RDX. Look for the same soon for the MDX and TLX
Great to hear! I really enjoyed it too. I'm keen to see what the MDX update will look like, hopefully it has a more seamless interior like the RDX.
The track pad is VERY accurate. You just don't understand how to use it. It's a 1:1 system.
Yeah I got used to it over time. From all reports, those who have had one for a while they love the track pad.
I think this should be a winner compared with Q5, NX, X3 and GLC just based on the fact that this is completely designed and Manufactured in the good ol USA. All the competitors are just imported cars.
If you told me that the Germans where made in Germany I would be happy. If they are built in Germany, they are very reliable.
i like the 0-60 launch at queen E park haha
Ssshhhhhh!! 😉
Sir, there IS a way for you to manually shift the vehicle without it taking control. And the touch pad is not a track pad, you do not have to keep your finger on it- it’s a true touch pad with 1:1 mapping so wherever you touch on the pad correlates with where you want to select on the screen. Otherwise you made a great video.
I realized all this after the fact ;)
Except in Android Auto and Apple Carplay.. Those firms haven't mapped their app the same as Acura's Infotainment system - still works, but with more buttons, one has to scroll or move the fingers multiple times. No issue though...
Is there a setting to disable , so that the driver can take 100% control?

You got the competitors very wrong. They are the X3, Q5, Evoque (got that one), RX350, and can’t remember which Benz but one smaller than the GLE. Trust me, I test drove between these and only one close was the RX. This one hands down crushes the others in terms of features, safety, reliability, and performance. Yes, I’ve done extensive research and that’s an unbiased opinion as I could get any of them, but chose the RDX
While the RDX might compete with these on performance and options, I tend to go for price point to compare. The X3 starts at $7k more here in Canada. Good choice of car, I liked it too 👍
Family Wheels fair enough. But for future reference, it helps to state that. Comparing across classes isn’t as beneficial, as then people have the wrong perception that this is closer to the X1, etc in size as well. Which by far it is not. (Oh and the RX isn’t that far in terms of price, the A-Spec sits at around $55k MRSP new, give or take)
It further goes to show that you’re getting far better value, as it’s a larger vehicle with strong options at a lower price point. Just some things I took into consideration when purchasing mine :)
Took a good couple months of test driving within its class and researching thoroughly.
Other than that, it was a good review. I also bought this with future family in mind. In the meantime though, definitely gonna have some fun with it lol.
Btw, I’m from Canada as well!
Rav Gill not the rx, it would be the nx, at least in the us.
When you have an engine that makes torque like a turbo engine you don't want 8 and 9 gears. You could almost skip some and use the torque to accelerate and it would pull stronger. When I moved on from 1/4 mile racing 40 years ago if you made over 600HP you wanted a Powerglide that shifted one time. That's why they "Short Shift" or program it to shift earlier than you would think. You spend more time pulling not shifting. Just a suggestion.
Great info, thanks Robert!
In sport + they effectively only use 8 gears.
@@Nowhy The Regera has no shifting transmission but does use a Torque Converter. You can hear when the Lockup Clutch in it applies. Fastest production car in the world I think 248mph. It does have electric drive assisting the spark ignition engine. Auto manufacturers could learn a lot from this guy.
@@robertjackson7590 interesting.. Who knows, could be the future - but then, people love to stick to what they are used to like sleep.
@@robertjackson7590 oh nothing against sleep, but people that only like what they are used to even do it while walking, talking etc.
does anyone know how the SH-AWD performs on snow?
was torn between this and the honda passport.
What did you go for?!
@@FamilyWheels might decide in 2 months after the CRV lease is up. hard to choose lol
@@gizmogeek47 Indeed! We're reviewing the 2020 CRV Sport in the next couple weeks :)
The Passport along with Acura RDX and MDX have lost their recommended status with Consumer Reports.
"The Passport two-row midsized SUV is an all-new model based on the three-row Pilot SUV. However, members told us that their Passports suffered from climate system problems, including refrigerant leaks and the AC compressor not working properly. The similar Pilot did not have these problems. When reached via email, a Honda spokeswoman told us that “a countermeasure to address the climate system problems was applied to vehicles beginning in June, and a service bulletin was issued in August. Passport owners experiencing problems with their climate system should contact their authorized Honda dealer as soon as possible to have the vehicle inspected.”"
How tall are you?
You have to hold the paddle down for a few seconds to get full manual mode
Ahhh....was wondering why other reviewers (the straightpipes and raiti's rides) didn't have that issue like he experience.
Why would you compare this with an X1 or Q3? They're both in a smaller class aren't they?
They are yes, I think I had X1 on the brain cos I'd driven it just one week earlier. Trunk space of X1 v RDX is actually about half.
X3 and Q5 are competitors.
The android update has been supposedly on its way since the model came out 😏
Apparently it has arrived! Has several people say theirs has it and it works perfect.
@@FamilyWheels fantastic thanks 😄👍🏻
Nice review. Acura can't get their whole lineup refreshed sooner, it's long over due.
Another change of host though, guess it really takes a lot of time working on these videos.
It sure does! Tough to juggle with a family and a full time job. I wouldn't expect a refresh on the RDX any time soon, maybe the MDX first? They still have to update other models with the new infotainment system too.
I OWN A 2020 RDX LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT BUT ITS A GAS GUZZLER VERY BAD GAS MILEAGE
I'm getting 12L/100km. Mix of highway and city driving with bad traffic
Definitely on the higher side for the engine specs. We found the same thing. It's fun though!
@@FamilyWheels especially in sports +
I got ford escape se 1.5 L good in gaz.
Fuel. Not horrible....??...not fantastic. It's not on the paper...real & realistic, please.
There is no eco mode.
Why some 2020 RDX come with Michelin tires and Good Year?
No idea! I didn't notice!
I think the Telluride and Palisade have made this car irrelevant. More room, same tech, same or even more features based on the trim level, nicer interior, quieter, same or better driving dynamics, better value. No, I don't own any of them. And that dash on the RDX - yikes, I've seen cleaner looking cockpits in 747s.
I haven’t driven either but they’re on the list!
The BMW X3 with most options can be negotiated down to the top level RDX advanced price point. The X3 is a much better interior/motor/trans. Another level. My neighbor got fully loaded Telluride. Its still not as nice as my loaded X3. But its bigger and yes a better value then a RDX. RDX only makes sense on base trims. On higher trims it is no longer competitive. Not even remotely so.
Telluride and Palisade is comparable to the MDX, not the RDX mrs1417. Those have 3rd rows.
Telluride and Palisade are 3-row crossovers.
RDX is a 5-seater luxury crossover.
You should compare those two against honda pilot, toyota highlander, subaru ascent and other 3-row luxury SUV's
@@HiPlains1 I can't replicate your findings when configuring a BMW X3. Also, a BMW has much better mechanics? That can be doubted...
If this was hybrid, I would’ve bought one already.
For sure! Interesting to see what Acura do with hybrid or PHEV. Will they add it to an existing model (like Outlander, Escape & RAV4) or create something brand new?
they should make a hybrid varient
Maybe soon (a year +) if you have the patience.
@@Nowhy It makes sense to just add it to the existing RDX, which is a gorgeous car. I am buying a Hybrid or PHEV in 2021, so whatever is in the market by then will be my next car. I been waiting for 2 years now.
It has a very Mazda CX-5ish look to it though...stolen design?
Really hated the throttle lag and dangerous user interface in this. Interior doesn't feel that much more luxurious than a CRV which is a problem. Still no Android Auto which they have been promising for over a year. Personally I'd wait to see what Genesis does for the GV70 especially after seeing how impressive the GV80 and G70 were
Apparently they're coming with android auto now which is good. We drove the CRV not long after this and, while the RDX has nicer finishings on inside trim, the CRV did feel more spacious and better designed. We can't wait to see what Genesis do too!
There is next to no throttle lag and this interface is more safe than a touchscreen.
Biases must be fun... I hope you are getting that money.
😀
Without numbers then it's all just an opinion.
Which numbers are you after?
I miss Scott. And the guy before Scott. Not a fan of the shuffling of hosts.
Hi Calisto, both Paul and Scott miss it too, it's very time consuming and tough to juggle but they hope to be able to contribute again some day. Hope you can continue to enjoy the reviews though. Kiah
Panoramic is overrated. I’d rather get a vehicle without it, that’s one less thing to worry about the longer you own it. Beautiful car.
We get a lot of people mention they're not into panoramic! I love it though. Maybe cos it can be grey for months on end where we live.
If you drive around with it open for couple of days and then close it, the darkness becomes very noticeable, especially if one never had a sunroof in a car - it's uplifting. Makes one wonder why one isn't in nature more often...
Also, I guess kids would love it, especially in tunnels or at nights with stars..
Fake piped in Engine Noise !!
Yep!! I wondered why it sounded like a throatier 2000 model WRX 😂
You can disable it by taking out a box - more info on Acurazine forums. But you will loose the noise cancelation too.. I personally like the piped in sound of the engine more than without.
Center console stack is a mess. Literally no reason for a family hauler to have a mode shifter right smack dab in the middle. The non Aspec version with the horrible chrome up front is so garish
Yeah, I just don't quite understand why that mode shifter is taking up that much room!
@@FamilyWheels maybe because its function is at the center of this technology packed car - especially with the advanced version with adaptive dampers.
4 cylinder turbo will not hold up a long period of time. Beautiful car, but I wouldn't touch it. Check back in 5 to 7 years.
You think it's got too much boost running through it?
Lack of Android Auto is a no-go
Apparently they are delivering with Android Auto now! See Dianne Martin's comment below!
Google “rdx class action suit” before buying this mess of a vehicle
Damn you also are everywhere.. Love must hurt if it doesn't get reciprocated... But hey, things are things and humans are humans.
What an idiotic statement to make. I have owned two Acura"s (one being a 2014 Acura RDX) and they are bullet proof. Pretty difficult to find another car with this kind of reliability.
Too feminine for me
Cars are moving things and are neither feminine nor masculine. What you mean is, too cat-like.. I guess you prefer dogs then.. Have you ever imagined or dreamed about flying tho?
