I am thinking of adding this car to my channel which currently consists of my 2019 Corvette GS and the ownership experience. I think this is one of the best looking SUVs on the market today! Great review
Picked a white one up recently. I have to say from coming from 2 sports cars as my previous cars; I really enjoy driving this. Practical and fun to drive. Great bang for your buck.
@@tonyaguilar2151 I'm not that tall but you shouldnt have any issues with leg room. The new RDX wheel base is longer than previous versions and size is comparable to original MDX. I'd definitely recommend a test drive to see if leg room works out for you.

Sise Esan One of the last near luxury 2.0T compact SUVs along with QX50 to offer turbo-4. Many in this segment are discounted less to low $30's like Buick Envision 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD.
"The brakes too, while a bit spongey in the pedal feel, certainly brings the vehicle to a stop without much drama at all." That's what brakes are supposed to do, so why even mention it? That's like saying, "The roof, while a bit low for my head, certainly keeps the sun and wind out of the car."
It's worth noting because some SUVs in the segment don't behave the same. For example, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio has a very aggressive and odd feeling brake pedal that slows the vehicle dramatically. The brake feel is an important detail.
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! It's a careless and stupid omission.
At 2:00, I'd add the XC60 perhaps to that list. And it has a 310hp option. The X3 has better too with the m40. I like the cars that have engine options with better performance instead of having only one option that's really under powered for it's size. Tho, 270 is adequate for the car. (On a related note...) I'm not a fan of companies only giving eco engines on their smaller vehicles. I want the power and performance in a smaller car. I don't want to have to up in size in order to get the power. Not everyone gets/wants a small vehicle for economy reasons. This is where the Germans have it right with the S, M, and AMG (and some other European makes). I can get the smaller C coupe with the power I want. I don't need nor want a larger car. I'm sure many people would wish that this A-Spec version was more than just an appearance package, and that it also gave a power boost to 310-330hp to go with the better looks.
Thinking about buying Acura MDX? Think again.🔮🦌🦌🦌 How come, Acura. Three weeks passed and no answers. 🦌🦌🦌🔮A car under warranty 25 000 miles was towed way to the dealership.

It might be competing with the Germans. But this will outlast all of them. I've never seen an x3 with over 150k miles. and if there is one it needs work
I just don't understand why someone would buy this one over MDX ??? The price is almost the same . I think RDX is over price plus mpg not so good . People be careful you buy this one check the mpg .
Walter 777 Smith are you joking? The MDX is about $7k more expensive at base. Hardly the same price. An A-spec AWD MDX is almost 10 grand more than an A-spec AWD RDX. So if you don’t need three rows, can’t afford the MDX or want to save 10 grand, or want the newer vehicle, why would you choose the MDX?
Nice, careful sharing any of that on social media tho, Acura R&D will break down your door and take you to jail just for giving away a color lol.

The Insufferable Tool Just like C&D review of the Civic Type-R, it was much slower in a comparison test after the initial test and very noticeable. Definitely a ringer!
@jmasoncar s This acura is a really good car but not fast. Infiniti qx50 is faster according to motortrend. From motortrend At the test track, it was a bit of a toss-up. The 268-hp crossover recorded a 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds and a 15.1-second quarter mile at 91.6 mph. That's a good bit slower than the last 280-hp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport we tested but slightly quicker than the 272-hp Acura RDXA-Spec.
Steering weight is sharper Does that mean the shaft cam idle pulley will last the first 10 years of the car? I love the way this car performs it handles well and is sporting a classic style for men ore women
Too bad they do not have HUD for ASpec. And I like butter knife on door bottoms. Hopefully MDX will get the same redesign next year. Especially interior
Not a bad review, but when comparing to the competition, make sure you consider all options. You state that the RDX has highest in-class power. The Lincoln MKC 2.3 has higher power and torque ratings.

Michael O'Loughlin Allot of 2.0T compact SUVs in the near luxury segment in the $30's but only a few with torque vectoring AWD like this and Buick Envision with 295 lb-ft of torque.
Michael O'Loughlin The RDX is really nice, They’ve always has great resale value , and it has solid reliably scores currently, it’s a very nice SUV I’d check it too.
Wade H The GS is a quite old plat form so the car it self should be reliable after years of improvement, but many people also don’t like the look of new Lexus cars and it won’t age well, Besides Acura has been in the game longer than Lexus so there’s a little history for the any Acura
We have to wait for a while until Toyota lifts the news embargo on horsepower, 0-60 acceleration, fuel economy, and driving impressions for the new Rav4. But from what I've seen, it's a pretty cool SUV. And the hybrid version is supposed to have outstanding performance and industry-leading fuel economy.
@@rickfrank7934 Both are small, crossover SUVs with 4-cylinder engines and lots of technology features. They are competing vehicles. However, you are right about them being very different. Personally, I like them both.
No tri-zone control makes this on par with a $24K Equinox 2.0T. The non-sliding and reclining rear seat just adds more fuel to the fire making this a CR-V 2.0T with HR-V styling.

I don't care what the brochure says about SH-AWD, I want to see it and a FWD trim go head to head on a (road) track [same tires] in both dry and wet to see what my real (world) advantage actually is...if it's less than a few seconds then give me a better argument to go SH-AWD to justify the price premiums
SH-AWD has almost no impact on straightline acceleration (also, by the way, I think you mean tenths of a second, not seconds-- there is NO technology that will knock SECONDS off your acceleration). The SH-AWD setup has a hugely positive impact in the corners. I'm sure you could see improved laptimes on a track, but its more about the feel. In power-on situations, SH-AWD is just flat-out excellent and far, far, far superior to just FWD and on-par with RWD-biased platforms. It is not a marketing gimic, it is a real and really useful technology, pioneered by Acura 12 years ago, that has a positive impact on the driving feel and performance.
Damn turbo charged. That's the reason why I'm not getting it. Honda is already failing badly with the turbo charged engines on their new civic with bad oil dilution issues.

Great Review. I must applaud Honda/Acura for this thorough redesign. My only wish was for a touch screen interface. Heck all 3 German luxury brands are either headed touchscreen or already there
Chicago area here & I'm currently negotiating on an A-spec SH-AWD and I'm at $43665 w/1K in accessories thrown in. Just waiting to see if they will come through w/a better % on finance because I'm not paying 2.9%, I'll just wait until Nov. Also getting a decent price on my '15 RDX AWD trade.
Jimmy Cheng don’t even respond to Norm T. He is literally on every video of the Acura RDX trying to spread lies about how the best selling luxury compact suv of its segment is terrible and comparable to a brand like Buick. It’s laughable. He works for GM and hasn’t even driven or been in an RDX.
Jimmy Cheng Consumer Reports just finished testing the RDX 2.0T and it did 7.0s 0-60 mph. Looks like C&D was correct in calling the A-spec a B-spec or C-spec instead.
AFCompany The 2019 RDX 2.0T hype is falling flat with slower than previous gen v6 and even slower Emergency Lane Change handling at 52.5 mph where my 2016 Envision 2.0T got 55 5 mph in CR testing. The Envision 2.0T costs less and also offers torque vectoring AWD.
There are a lot of people who think that anything less than a V-8 is weak. They're the same folks who buy Dodge Rams with 5.7-liter Hemi engines and have no need to ever haul or tow anything with them. They also struggle to pay for all the fuel needed to keep those thirsty engines chugging down the road.
It already has Carplay and Acura is working directly with Google to bring Android Auto to existing 2019 and future RDX models. The touchpad is actually quite intuitive, but there are compatibility issues with AA, as AA is generally a touch-oriented system.
Typical American junk will be in the shop after 50K miles. That turbo is going to crap out. Acura needs to bring back the ZDX as a subcompact hatchback/crossover at a reasonable price with improved fuel economy.
Is it selling like hot cakes? I dont know but i had to wait 3 weeks for my car and i saw 15 delivery same day. Its so fun to drive. I really like its gorgeous beautiful interior. I check BMW X3 i30 and Audi Q5 before I bought mine, and found out RDX is thousand times better money and performance wise.
I don't like the all black trim, either. It looks cheap and it's not going to wear well. They should have used some type of dark nickel-chrome plate - would have looked much better.

totally different platform this go around
Also, built in a completely different factory. Shill for GM all you want but at least get your facts correct.

Honda’s 2.8-million square-foot East Liberty plant, which produces the Honda CR-V and the Acura RDX and MDX SUV’s, continued the use of LED lighting - saving 1 million kWh of electricity. Springfield News April 2018
Setting June records were the East Liberty-built Honda CR-V, which was up 17.5 percent to 33,306 in the period and the Honda Pilot, which was up 35.8 percent to 12,782 and has rattled off 10 consecutive months of sales growth.

Ryan Littleton "Acura is calling it an all-new, exclusive platform-but the RDX started with the Honda CR-V architecture and modified the chassis and upgraded the powertrain. Obviously, the sheetmetal is much different, too." Motor Trend Janurary 2018
Sorry but you're wrong...X3 has engine option that provides 355 HP.. a lot more than that little dinky four cylinder...
I just got a quote of $55000 for this car amazing 3 Dealer’s Santa Rosa Marin and Honolulu
...ripoff.
Great review....
Thank you!
lelescope? electric seats? how tall? how long ..mmmmm
I like the tax dollar joke good work
Uh the SH-AWD is rear biased not front biased
I was thinking that same thing.
Great Review. I must applaud Honda/Acura for this thorough redesign. My only wish was for a touch screen interface. Heck all 3 German luxury brands are either headed touchscreen or already there
canonlybeme4life Hknda+ finally only matches all other compact 2.0T SUVs.
This is a great looking suv!
I just back 3 quotes $55300 amazing
i bought mine aspec at $47K out of door including tax and destination charge
@@jimmycheng1049 with shawd? I paid 45.8k for fwd only cause they didn't have shawd in stock.
Chicago area here & I'm currently negotiating on an A-spec SH-AWD and I'm at $43665 w/1K in accessories thrown in. Just waiting to see if they will come through w/a better % on finance because I'm not paying 2.9%, I'll just wait until Nov. Also getting a decent price on my '15 RDX AWD trade.
yes, In Chicago area , with AWD, i bought it in June
@Mel C just don't go to McGrath Westmont, IL i had the worst experience of buying car there in my life
Car & Driver has the Bspec tested at at .4 slower to 60 mph than RDX V6.
i got both the old RDX and the new one and i have tested the new one at 5.7 sec, you will def feel faster if you go test drive the new one
Jimmy Cheng don’t even respond to Norm T. He is literally on every video of the Acura RDX trying to spread lies about how the best selling luxury compact suv of its segment is terrible and comparable to a brand like Buick. It’s laughable. He works for GM and hasn’t even driven or been in an RDX.
Jimmy Cheng Consumer Reports just finished testing the RDX 2.0T and it did 7.0s 0-60 mph. Looks like C&D was correct in calling the A-spec a B-spec or C-spec instead.
AFCompany The 2019 RDX 2.0T hype is falling flat with slower than previous gen v6 and even slower Emergency Lane Change handling at 52.5 mph where my 2016 Envision 2.0T got 55 5 mph in CR testing. The Envision 2.0T costs less and also offers torque vectoring AWD.
Norm T Good luck man
Awesome put sport car stuff in a SUV, just sad. When is the NSX SUV COMING OUT.
“Acura you don good “
2.0T for SUV!!!!!! that is terrible.
Poor engine going to be worn out by 60k miles....
@@LivingStone4Christ
Turbocharged engines have existed for decades and this type of ignorant and outdated thinking still exists. Pathetic.
There are a lot of people who think that anything less than a V-8 is weak. They're the same folks who buy Dodge Rams with 5.7-liter Hemi engines and have no need to ever haul or tow anything with them. They also struggle to pay for all the fuel needed to keep those thirsty engines chugging down the road.
Worst comment ever.
The Hyundai Tuscon has it too. They're quick but will crap out after 50K+ miles. A weak engine trying to move this heavy vehicle is gonna destroy it.
Kinda late guy. Everyone has done the rdx review already.
engalvan Honda+ is late to the compact 2.0T suv game.
Honda Owns ACURA, and Why does a $25,000 Accord get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. But a $50,000 RDX get some kind of Mickey Mouse interface.
IceColdKilax it has android auto and carplay as well
It already has Carplay and Acura is working directly with Google to bring Android Auto to existing 2019 and future RDX models. The touchpad is actually quite intuitive, but there are compatibility issues with AA, as AA is generally a touch-oriented system.
That's sexy!! The car is nice too.
I would never actually use the panoramic moonroof.
Live a little, gotta take advantage of that moonroof along with that ELS sound system on a nice sunny day with the windows down!
Typical American junk will be in the shop after 50K miles. That turbo is going to crap out. Acura needs to bring back the ZDX as a subcompact hatchback/crossover at a reasonable price with improved fuel economy.
Please throw away ugly jewel lights and tail light. RDX is good car but really needs new designer.
Cheap car with high price you can’t compare with German car. All plastic material all around just like your brother Honda CRV.
Johnny L It doesnt really compare and it more near-luxury.
All German car seats are horrible.
That intro was super Lame 🤬
Give Ashton a break on his new gig. He's still getting used to comedy.
His gig is annoying 😡😒
I’ll pay cash what state is it in and ship car to Hawaii $1375 for that
I have that car my mom get it
Everything is look nice except the seats color. Not match at all
If singer okay have a kid Honda pilot better
Where tf the rsx and tsx
Overstyled. Overhyped.
Awkwaaaaaardddd...... lol
What an ugly car?!
Test drove this.. drove like sh*t. Not a comfortable ride at all.. basically a nicer looking CR-V.
You're full of shit.
Looks like a teenagers vehicle. Don't like the exterior styling at all Very bland and cheap looking.. The rear tail lights are ugly and it sits too low.
But eh if people are saying it's gorgeous and it's selling like 🔥 hot cakes then I will run out and buy one because EVERYONE is saying so. ¿©®§
Is it selling like hot cakes? I dont know but i had to wait 3 weeks for my car and i saw 15 delivery same day. Its so fun to drive. I really like its gorgeous beautiful interior. I check BMW X3 i30 and Audi Q5 before I bought mine, and found out RDX is thousand times better money and performance wise.
I don't like the all black trim, either. It looks cheap and it's not going to wear well. They should have used some type of dark nickel-chrome plate - would have looked much better.
