1. Base

Although the entry-level model, the Base is packed with excellent features as standard. The stylish exterior is enhanced by the Jewel-eye LED headlights and the 19-inch multi-spoke sparkle silver wheels. Inside, you’re met with a panoramic moonroof with a power-sliding sunshade and a sliding and tilting front section to welcome in sunshine and fresh air. Leatherette front sport seats are heated and 12-way power-adjustable and the leather-wrapped steering wheel is mounted on tilting and telescopic steering column.



2. Technology

Building on the Base, the Technology trim adds a couple of extras for enhanced comfort. The sound system receives an additional three speakers and ambient LED cabin lighting allows you to select from 27 modes to set the mood inside the cab. A GPS-linked climate control system automatically monitors the intensity of the sun and its impact on interior temperatures.

The Technology also introduces a navigation system with 3D view, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-camera washer.


3. A-Spec

A-Spec is a sportier model, receiving sport-style upgrades such as 15-spoke 20-inch shark-gray wheels and LED fog lights. The interior receives premium leather and Ultrasuede ventilated front seats, a leather-wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel, dark brushed aluminum trim, and an ebony headliner. Another audio system upgrade introduces 16 speakers, including four ultra-slim ceiling-mounted speakers so everyone can hear their favorite playlists in surround sound.


4. Advance

Advance has all the premium features you’d expect from a top-level luxury SUV. The plush interior has an open-pore wood trim, and rear passengers receive heated seats. For ultimate comfort in the front, the seats are 16-way power-adjustable with lumber support, side bolsters, and thigh extensions.

The Advance is also fitted with the Adaptive Damper System which adjusts the RDX’s suspension according to road conditions, ensuring a smooth ride whether cruising on the highway or navigating city streets. Drivers receive assistance from a 360-degree camera and can keep their eyes on the road thanks to the new head-up display.


5. A-Spec Advance

The A-Spec Advance combines the sporty features of the A-Spec with the luxury additions from the Advance.
