2009 Acura RDX

2009 Acura RDX

The 2009 Acura RDX should see no major changes. This premium compact SUV seats five and has all-wheel drive. The sole powertrain teams a 240-hp 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Also standard are dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery with heated front seats, and a 6.5-inch dashboard screen that displays audio and climate information. A Technology Package, priced as a separate model, includes a wireless cell phone link and navigation system. Drive impressions based on 2008 report. The RDX may be in line for a "clean diesel" engine that Honda plans for U.S. sale. Actually, Honda is developing both 4-cylinder and V6 diesels for a variety of vehicles in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions across its entire fleet. Honda hasn't yet said which, if any, diesel the RDX might get, but we'd bet on the 4-cylinder unit, possibly with a turbocharger.
