The extensively redesigned 2019 Acura RDX combines spacious comfort with turbocharged performance, making it superior to the 2019 Infiniti QX50. Its VTEC® Turbo 2.0-liter engine boasts 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, giving you plenty of power when it's needed. Torque vectoring, exclusive to Acura's available 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.

 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 warm. Jewel Eye® LED headlights with seven LED light elements also come standard. Class-leading rear cargo space includes nearly two cubic feet of compartmented underfloor storage. And unlike the Infiniti, RDX’s fully-flat rear floor enables first-class roominess in all five seating positions.

…to go with its new [True Touchpad] interface, Acura added an improved, more natural voice recognition system and an optional head-up display that’s more capable than most on the market.
