The RDX paved the way when it became Acura's first compact luxury crossover SUV. Now in its third generation, this high-end vehicle continues to innovate. Discover some of the 2020 Acura RDX SUV's most exciting features. A Spacious Interior The RDX's interior is luxuriously large. That means there's plenty of space for the driver, passengers, and cargo. Passengers enjoy more room than in many luxury SUVs, whether they're upfront with the driver or in the back seat. Head and shoulder room are generous throughout. However, tall passengers may struggle with the 38 inches of rear headroom. This statistic lags behind some rivals, so it's worth noting if adults regularly ride with you. more The RDX's 31.3 cubic feet of standard cargo space is quite generous. However, if you need more room, you can always fold down the rear seats. This more than doubles the available space to 79.8 cubic feet. A Well-Appointed Cabin The RDX's chic cabin makes it feel really luxurious, especially if you opt for one of the package upgrades. The standard heated front seats become ventilated with the A-Spec and Advance package. In addition, Acura adds heating to the Advance's rear seats. While you lose out on those rear heated seats, the A-Spec package has high-end looks on its side. Bold red perforated Milano premium leather and ultra-suede seats outshine the standard leatherette. Red ambient cabin lighting and the red-on-silver gauge cluster also enhance the sporty look when you add this package. You don't need a package to feel spoiled though. The 12-way power seats with power lumbar support up front keep you comfortable even on long road trips. Dual-zone climate control also helps you feel comfortable no matter what the weather. Responsive Steering and Handling The RDX's responsive steering and handling make it a joy to drive. This SUV does exactly what you want it to, managing turns like it's on rails and accelerating quickly. It takes just 6.6 seconds to go from zero to 60 mph, so you won't find it lacking in stop-start city traffic. The RDX is even more alert in sport driving mode. The standard suspension is solid, but the Advance package's adaptive dampers boost ride quality. Top Tech Features Add Value The RDX features impressive technology for the money. The 10.2-inch touch screen across the range is much larger than we see in most cars in this class. Apple CarPlay is standard, but sadly, Android Auto isn't supported. A 4G LTE mobile hot spot makes sure you can stay connected on the move. If you're a real tech lover, adding the Technology package is a no-brainer. This package adds built-in navigation and USB ports to the back seat. Its 12-speaker ELS Studio audio system provides a much fuller sound than the standard nine-speaker stereo. The RDX is a true pioneer with some of the most exciting features in the luxury crossover SUV segment. If you enjoy life's finer things, test drive the 2020 Acura RDX SUV today.

SportShift Paddle Shifters One of the big draws of high-performance vehicles is the interaction between the driver and the car. The TLX has an automatic transmission but still gives you shifting control with innovatively designed position controls. It has SportShift paddle shifters on the steering wheel, allowing you to shift gears whenever you want to. It brings back the excitement of driving with a manual transmission but gives you all of the benefits of an automatic transmission. Precision All-Wheel Steer System The Acura TLX is equipped with the Precision All-Wheel Steer System (P-AWS). It adds steering abilities to the rear wheels to increase stability. They can adjust their tow angles to increase stability and decrease turning radii in turns for a safer and more engaging experience. The P-AWS system is a first for production vehicles, making the TLX stand out among its competitors.
