Acura RDX: A Triumph of Performance and Luxury
The Acura RDX combines spacious comfort with turbocharged performance, making it superior to the Infiniti QX50. Its VTEC® Turbo 2.0-liter engine boasts 272 horsepower2 and 280 lb-ft of torque3, giving you plenty of power when needed. Torque-vectoring, exclusive to the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), lets you channel that power for improved handling in almost any condition. Standard paddle shifters put control of all 10 gear ratios at your fingertips.
The RDX also features a long list of standard luxury amenities you’ll have to pay extra for on QX50 LUXE. Heated front sport seats with 12-way power adjustment keep front-row occupants comfortable. Jewel Eye® LED headlights with seven LED light elements also come standard. Impressive rear cargo space includes nearly two cubic feet of compartmented underfloor storage. And unlike the Infiniti, the fully-flat rear floor in the RDX enables first-class roominess in all five seating positions.
