Great review. I leased an ASpec in white last week and loving the decision. Best car I've had to date. Quick, comfortable, practical and looks gorgeous. The 20" blacked out wheels and blacked out trim look amazing on the white. I want Android Auto, and I'd have liked the HUD and dampers from the Advance, but overall I'm thrilled.

As an owner of a 2011 RDX, it's kind of ironic how the generation RDX I have was ahead of the game. I have a 4-Cylinder SH-AWD on mine, and when they took it away in 2013, it was disappointing. The RDX between 2013-2018 was truthfully boring. It looked okay, but didn't have anything to special. I was so excited to see this for Acura. Next is the Type S.

Superb SUV. I have more then a year with a 2019 FWD Tech. Trim. Best buy. The interior is functional, modern, sporty, and lux. The power delivery is beyond proper. The drive is responsive and semi firm; proper for all road conditions and especially for highway fun. Acura delivered a suv with all the right stuff. A test drive is mandatory if you are in the market for a SUV.

I can park just fine without a 360 degree system as I do not have one in my current ride. A 360 degree camera system, for me, is useful when you have some tight maneuvering to pull off when parking. I am sure you can pull it off without breaking a sweat and I am sure we are all impressed.

I just bought the Advance and have one question. How can you adjust the zoom level in the navigation screen? It always reverts back to 500 ft.

I have an RDX 2015. I love it but I'm considering buying the new model for the Tech upgrade. Only thing I'm not sure of is going to the turbo4 from the six cylinder. I love that engine! What are your thoughts?

The 2008 RDX has a boost gauge but rarely looked at it. This one in the 2019 RDX is kind of weird like people mentioned in the comments. Red for in boost and purple/blue for vacuum .

Great informative video. I live in AZ and have owned sport coupes, sedans (Mistang GT, IS 350, 328i) and a '17 Forester. Currently I have a '18 Subaru WRX. I am considering again a Forester, Outback XT Onyx or this RDX A-spec. For a daily driver with a Belgian Malinois ( I'm a veterinarian) going to work, getting me camping/hiking/ski/ off-road areas with wife & son, long term reliability, good mileage, practicality which vehicle would you choose.?

Any thoughts on advance over A-spec model? Is it worth the extra $$? Specially now on the 2022 mode? I am considering a 2020 advance as i want to trade my 2011 mdx.

I don’t like Honda (and I have one) but this RDX is the best looking daily driver vehicle they have. I admit it looks pretty good and stands out more than other comparable cars like BMW and Benz, etc.

Great review Ryan! I wish you'd taken it off road. Do you think the RDX would do as well as the Honda Passport on the same trail and the incline that you tested the Passport? If we put a decent set of higher profile AT tires on the RDX, would you think that it becomes a bonafide off-road crossover? Thanks for the great reviews.

SH-AWD is best in the world, you will not get stock anywhere with it. Turbo engine is not over-engineered but straight forward and on classy side mechanically. Overall very nice, sporty and fun to drive SUV that packs nice tech and is very spacious. PS/ Get an Aspec - it will not only look best but also retain most resale value.

The top of the line rdx has special glass to cut sound down. There is a difference between the a spec and that model... also you didnt mention the incredible sound system.

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!

Also, shorter sidewalls mean being more careful and driving slower on dirt and off-road conditions as well.

Sad that both the A-Spec and Advance come up a littler short because you ditch one wanted item to get the other in both models...sigh.

Tony Chau FWD A-Spec is 3821 lbs. AWD is 4015 lbs. AWD Advanced trim is 4068 lbs. The A-Spec model is the least-weighing trim of the three. This is mostly due to no spare tire, but there has to be other reasons because A-Spec comes with 20 inch wheels and wider tires which should be heavier than stock rims on Advanced and Tech trims. Don't let the weight surprise you. My 2016 TLX SHAWD was around 3,700 lbs and no spare tire either. My MINI Cooper S is 2,550 lbs. Maybe less. Haha.

While it looks like fun I suspect just about no one buying this car is going to use the steering wheel shifting paddles and will likely never use sport plus plus. I would ditch that stuff (as well as the worse than useless moonroof) to get the dampers and more sound insulation.

Some details provided in the video are not accurate but I'm sure others picked up on that. Like overall cargo volume is no where near 77 usable cubic feet! Acura also notes almost 80 cubic feet. *Max cargo capacity behind front seats. Based on SAE J1100 cargo volume measurement standard, plus floor space between first and second seats and front seats moved forward. This figure compares more accurately with most competitive measurements. It's really around 59 usable cubic feet with the seats folded down. Also, there is no seat bolster adjustments on the A-Spec, only on the Advanced. Finally, that "exhaust note" that you are hearing is electronic through the stereo. Oh yea, what about that stereo! There is no mention of the quality, 14 speakers, wattage etc. It's probably one of the best features on the car, IMO. Overall, it's a decent review, still a bit late compared to many others that have been out for months.

I have driven 2018 X3 and the 2018 RDX, the X3 to me feel and look better but I like both of them, I will choose the X3 over the RDX

An 8-speed and a touch-screen infotainment away from perfection. Wayy too many gears; the infotainment will be a deal-breaker for many.

Nice but underpowered at 272hp imo

TMOD Aka The Master of Disaster I respectfully disagree. It is quick for it's size. I'm comparing it to the 2016 TLX SH-AWD I traded in, the 2018 RDX I drove for a few days, and the X3 I drove. 280 TQ and the new transmission really make this RDX SH-AWD seem sporty. Would 330 HP be nice? Absolutely, but this vehicle is by no means underpowered.

I don’t know why people keep reviewing the navigation inside cars. 99% of people use their smart phone for navigation. No one in the past four years or more uses their in car navigation system.

Aspec..Car & Driver called more Bspec or Cspec.

Buyer beware. JULY 11, 2019 - An Acura RDX infotainment lawsuit alleges the systems suffer from problems with the radios, backup cameras and the audio and navigation systems. The 2019-2020 RDX SUVs are allegedly a danger to drive because of the distractions caused by the infotainment problems. According to the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit, the infotainment systems were a big reason they purchased the RDX vehicles, and now they wish they wouldn't have purchased the SUVs. One plaintiff claims the RDX infotainment system started causing him problems within days of buying the vehicle. The system allegedly would take up to a minute for the audio to start playing, so he called the dealership and was told everything was normal. The plaintiff also claims voice commands are frequently unavailable and the infotainment system freezes and shuts off while he is driving. According to the plaintiff, the promise of Android Auto was important to him but it's been 10 months since he purchased the RDX and still no software update has been released containing Android Auto. The lawsuit says Acura's previous dual-screen infotainment system was a combination of direct touch, buttons and a dial. But when the third generation Acura RDX was released in 2018, it was equipped with a new single high definition 10.2-inch display controlled by a touchpad. According to the proposed class action lawsuit, Acura knew the systems were defective before any of the RDX SUVs were sold. In addition, the plaintiffs say since the vehicles were sold, drivers have constantly complained about the problems. "This has happened to me multiple times (10 or more). I'm happily cruising along with my CarPlay running waze, Pandora and my radio will just stop working and the display stops showing CarPlay information. Another variation is I'm on the phone connected to CarPlay and I can place and receive calls but half the time no one can hear me speak (I can hear them)." "My vehicle is hardly 6 months old and the infotainment stop working 3 times with 6000+ miles. The dealer mechanic doesn't bother bring the vehicle into the shop, they come out, disconnect the battery for a minute or two then reconnect the battery and the system is back on. Next time that happens, I would ask the service manager to document it." Infotainment systems are known as severe distractions to drivers even when the systems work as intended, but the RDX lawsuit alleges a system that continually malfunctions takes the distractions to a whole new level. Acura has allegedly failed to inform the public about the alleged infotainment systems problems and continues to manufacture, market and sell the SUVs with the defective systems. Furthermore, Honda/Acura has allegedly been unable to find solutions to fix the infotainment systems and dealerships typically tell customers to wait for software updates. In some cases, technicians will replace allegedly defective parts with the same defective parts which leaves drivers in an endless cycle of problems and repairs. According to the lawsuit, Honda and Acura dealers routinely tell RDX customers to refrain from bringing the SUVs to the dealerships because there is no way to repair the infotainment systems. The proposed nationwide class action lawsuit alleges at least 100,000 model year 2019-2020 Acura RDX SUVs are affected by the infotainment systems. The Acura RDX infotainment lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division - Banh, et al., v. American Honda Motor Co. The plaintiffs are represented by Hagens Berman, Goldenberg Schneider, and Niekamp, Weisensell, Mutersbaugh & Mastrantonio. CarComplaints.com has owner-reported complaints about Acura RDX SUVs and many other Acura vehicles.

Interior is a Ford Focus. Give me button controls and a shifter.

You’re dead wrong claiming that Kia and Hyundai crossovers are “way louder.” If you look at objective noise measurements Acura and Honda tend to be dead last in a given vehicle category. The Koreans generally make impressively quiet vehicles. You’re degrading your own credibility claiming otherwise.

See how many problems this new rdx has...

You can get a X3 for $38K. Much better driver's car and is not a Honda+.
