The Acura RDX is a compact crossover SUV and is the first attempt of Acura to enter the compact crossover SUV market. It is a relatively new line of car models from Acura and was first introduced in 2006. The Acura RDX is intended to fill the gap left by the Acura MDX which is being developed to become bigger and growing more expensive over time. The market success of the Acura RDX has been limited so far and the sales of Acura MDX units have been below forecast. The Acura RDX was first revealed as the Acura RD-X concept car. The car started selling in August of 2006. The Acura RDX, as an entry level compact crossover SUV, has been aggressive in underlining it stance of being a capable urban utility vehicle. It has been outlining its low gas consumption as well as high safety features as high light points to convince buyers to the Acura RDX. Sales have flagged, however, no doubt to the high price of gasoline and the increasing demand for hybrid engines which offer more mileage for lesser amounts of fuel. The Acura RDX features the a turbocharged gasoline engine, the 2.3 litre I4 K23A1 engine capable of 240 hp at 6000 rpm with 269 lb/ft of torque peak. While the Acura RDX as many similarities with the Honda CRV, Acura insists that the platform of the RDX is unique and was developed specifically for the advanced all wheel drive of the Acura RDX. The shifting of the Acura RDX is a paddle shift located behind the steering wheel. The RDX is capable of both automatic and manual shifting depending on the driver. The drive train of the Acura RDX also features a variation of the Super Handling All Wheel Drive or SH-AWD technology of Acura. The SH-AWD allows the car to automatically the distribution of torque between the front wheel and the rear wheel depending on the current driving status of the vehicle. Safety wise, the Acura RDX is one of the safest Acura vehicles, being the second to feature the ACE or Advanced Compatibility Engineering of Acura, a body structure design that allows for the body to absorb the force in case of a collision. The RDX also has six airbags all in all and has seat belts equipped with force limiters. The Acura RDX is a great entry level compact crossover SUV. The flagging sales of the Acura RDX is most probably the fault of the rising prices of gasoline rather than any lack of the Acura RDX. The RDX certainly has plenty of features to offer. It has also been given several important safety awards and has even received a perfect 5 star rating during the NHTSA crash testing. The Acura RDX is certainly a performance car, perfect for urban driving. While the Acura MDX is becoming bigger and more expensive, the Acura RDX is the perfect replacement and should be a good choice for first time buyers. Headlights by State:
