The 2022 Acura RDX Is A Sharply Styled & Driver Focused Luxury SUV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- The #AcuraRDX has built its reputation as a premium compact SUV with a focus on driving performance. When this current generation came out in 2019, it represented a return to precision crafted performance for #Acura. For 2022, the #RDX gets some small tweaks that were centered around consumer feedback which includes expanded availability of the #RDXASpec trim to the Advance trim and new tech features like wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and wireless phone charging. It's still one of our favorite luxury SUV's for the money, but new competitors from Lexus and Genesis are equally as appealing.

Its been a while since we drove the current generation RDX that we forgot just how good this car is. Still an enticing luxury SUV with a ton of value baked in and we're glad to see Acura expanding the A-Spec package to the Advance trim. One error we want to notate, in the engine specs graphic, we accidentally listed it as a N/A engine, the engine is in fact turbocharged. Sorry for the confusion!
Nobody needs your Genesis paid advertising, thank you
@@markvisser388 because it’s way better than anything from Acura or Lexus lol. That’s why it’s so good
I'm still holding out for a possible Type S variant. That'll make me very happy if they release it.
@@markvisser388 it’s not bias or advertising. Genesis builds some of the most impressive luxury cars these days. Especially for the price
@@garrettw99 nothing really special actually. Hyundai is just trying to get more money from his customers, without merit. No identity (European designs), no significant (nothing actually) technical or technological contribution and even worse, the company has been found destroying evidences of their issues (serious issues that may literally threat their customers lives), and they are quite regularly inflating fuel economy numbers. So not really anything left that is worth the attention.
It looked like Alex was terrified of Sofyan’s driving haha he was holding on to that handle for dear life
He was scared the all season tires would cause them to fly off the road haha
I didn’t know this is a marketing company, I thought it was unbiased car review channel.
I would have been too. They were on a mountain. Sofyan didn’t need to be driving like that. As capable as he is.
@@Thankyou_3 how exactly?
If you watch Alex’s video on the RDX, he is driving just as fast as Sofyan did, if not faster 😂
The fact that you were just able to drive the RDX around a mountainside as if you were in a sports car without any fuss really does speak volumes to how it handles and performs regardless of if it’s not the most powerful in the segment.
Aman to driving on mountain side road. I've drove something like that before but everyone was SH*T scared like Alex was HOLDING ON TO DEAR life. So credit to new RDX for keeping car planted on ground on the twisty roads. I love the FUN of Acura over BORING Lexus. Lexus have the grown up looks and resell but acura is for true enthusiast.
There you go
The 3 year old Rdx already outclasses a 1 month old Lexus nx. It’s faster handles better superior engine AWD system and transmission and more practical more space
@@vorsprungdurchtechnik5 i'd lease the crap out of all those except the gv70, which i would actually buy. if you think the rdx is an "awful" buy given its price point, you just come off as a hater; there are a lot of good things about it considering the base price is lower than most in that segment. the only competitor that i'd equate is being just as good a value is the gv70 because there are still trade offs for having more luxury and more power. the awd system on a genesis, while good, does not beat sh-awd, especially when pushed to the limits (of course, 99% of cuv owners will never push their car to the limits).
**ha, i just read another one of your comments about the x3; why you come off as a hater makes total sense now.
Uh, no ... I have a 2020 RDX and although it handles well for an SUV, it doesn't handle like anything in the same stratosphere of a sports car. Unless your definition of a "sports car" is a V6 Charger.
@@vorsprungdurchtechnik5 $10000 more for all the same features is not "roughly the same price". Its hard to beat the value you get from an RDX. Besides, the GV70 is brand new. Lets wait a few more months for all the complaints to start coming in.
I like where Acura’s headed with this latest iteration. Even with 210k miles, I can’t part ways with my 1st gen RDX because it just drives so well.
FINALLY Acura paired A-spec with advance.
Acura lost me three times over the last few years due to that boneheaded decision forcing a choice between appearance and features.
I wouldnt be suprised if they lost thousands of customers to Volvo and Lexus with that stupid decision.
Awesome to see the both of you! This collab is excellent! Having both of your views in one video! Yesssss!! 😊👍⭐️🤘🏻
I've watched Redline for a while now and recently added Alex. Between the two of you, you provide great input and take on some of these cars. More collaborations in the future possibly?
We try to whenever there’s an opportunity :)
Yes! More Alex collaborations!
Alex holding on for dear life is cracking me up. Judging from the sound of the tires squealing and engine revving on that curvy road, he's not wrong haha.
Acura has listened and this refreshed RDX is definitely worth a look. Great review!
I just bought an Acura aspec-awd rdx and it’s amazing. The drive is super solid and immediate response esp in Sport mode. Cabin is gorgeous and very quiet. The gauges make sense tho the touch pad a bit over sensitive, can be tricky using while driving, searching thru the many Sirius stations. So comfy and lots of room for passengers and storage. A dream ride!
How are you liking the RDX 5 months later? Any issues, complaints?
Any updates?
So now I'm all about that Type S MDX for the family. It'll be so interesting to have that motor in the RDX. FINALLY they offer the A-SPEC with advance package features. Sofyan and Alex compliment each other very well in their dual reviews because they're both so well informed with car stats but let each other finish what they're saying without interrupting one another.
So you're willing to take your family on a highspeed thrill ride at 100mph in an Type S vs the lower models which can achieve the same results. dont do this regardless.
The driver focused interior is a huge plus. Especially if you don’t have a need to attend to kids sitting in the rear seat. Those driver centric cars can be hard when you have to help the little ones pick up their stuffed animal or book because it’s harder to turn around. Though incredibly comfortable over longer trips.
Acura need to go steal Nissan's gravity seat and put it in this.
Superb review as always. I have the 2019 and I love it. The ELS 3D sound system is wicked.
My lease came up last september and i contemplated if i need to switch to the 2022 rdx aspec advance package. In the end, i purchased the lease which im happy with. Agree with the sound syst, i love it.. any issues with your rdx? Had my roof fixed, somehow it got stuck last year and a few minor issues but everything is okay. I love how it runs and everything
Rear seat space / space for child seats is a big pro of this model, most other compact luxury SUVs are tight for child seats.
Not gonna lie this car is very beautiful in person especially with the aspec package
That blue color is stunning
The first gen was so ahead of its time. You just marvel at Honda engineering.
They were a leader for sure. I see that Hyundai Group has now past Honda Motors for sales in the US. I see this gap widening since Honda is so far behind on EVs.
😴
@@gregkramer5588 Hyundai sells smoke, Honda doesn't. Easy to identify an average Hyundai owner, education is not their best characteristic.
@@markvisser388 Honda lives off the reputation they garnered in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s. Since than they are not a leader and their market share shows it. When it comes to EVs they are partnering with GM since GM is actually ahead of Honda. Hyundai America is stomping them in EVs. The educated would know that they just won Motor Trend SUV of the Year, the G70 won Car of the year when it was introduced. Tell me Mark, what does Honda have to compete with the Niro, Soul and Kona EVs? Which are old hat for Hyundai. Now that the EV6 and Ioniq 5 are shipping in Europe and soon to ship in the US. Tell me how far does that leave Honda behind? 5 years or so?
@@gregkramer5588 yes yes, dude. Whatever you say. Please have a look to the r&d before talking. Only ignorants and paid trolls like you buy Hyundai and their immoral trash. Don't forget that in less than six months they have been caught destroying evidences, hiding issues and recently, one of his engineers expose them.
Ignoring this only comes from trolls ☺️
Don't waste your money on upper trims. Most of the changes are cosmetic. They all use the exact same engine and transmission. The base comes loaded with tons of features (pano sunroof, heated seats, heated steering, remote start, garage link, wireless apple/android, power tailgate, and plenty of safety features.) I've had mine since Jan 2022 and love it! I was debating between the RDX and the BMW X3m40i. The BMW is a lot faster and funner to drive but also is 25k more in Canada. Value wise the 2022 RDX is by far the best!
Thumbs up for another detailed and informative review!...as always!
No thanks to the full digital cluster. That simple, classic look with a speedo and tach plus a helper screen is much easier on the eyes.
in a sports car - yes, but most luxury car buyers prefer how a digital gauge cluster looks and the configurability it provides.
@@kristians2704 Manufacturers certainly love using screens because it's cheaper. What's more luxurious, a Rolex or an Apple watch?
I like a digital cluster more, but the RDX has a nice analog cluster.
I like how luxury brand are starting to add that 3d effect on digital clusters…. You know, to mimic the analog cluster 🤦♂️
I love how sofyan drives all cars like performance cars i like seeing what everything is capable of
One of the biggest complaints of the A-Spec has been addressed. The gauge cluster now has a Digital Speedometer for the first time. This was definitely needed because the Red/Silver gauges was hard to read in the daytime.
The red and silver gauges should’ve been gone a long time ago
@@XX-166 Especially for those like me that are colorblind.
@@nickstark8640 Honda their other brand got rid of the analog crap long ago and have since given the consumer an all digital dash display which makes things easier for all involved. Other manufacturers have done this years ago and have never looked back.
We are shopping. This car is on the list. What a great non-biased review.
I personally just like the look of the RDX over the GV70 and RX.
Hate this infotainment system..can’t wait to see the new Lexus interface. Thanks for the great review. Nice to see you and Alex in the video. BTW nice screensaver on your phone😉
The new interface from Lexus IS the only thing that’s better than the Rdx. But in everything else the Rdx is simply a better car than the nx. It’s faster handles better superior AWD much better engine and transmission
i think (hope) acura will follow lexus in that regard with the next gen that comes out.
One thing I'd like to see Acura do, starting with the Integra, is to introduce an option for blue seats
So great to see you with Alex. It's the quietest I've ever seen him. Love you guys. I have the 2021 tech and love it.
I agree, a type S would be AWESOME!
Redline Reviews/Sofyan: I was a little confused.. You mention (Including while on a test drive with Alex on Autos) that it's a Turbo 4.. Yet when you showcase the powertrain specs card 1:40 on the right hand side of the screen, it says, "N/A" as in Naturally Aspirated. You may want to change that little oopsy.. Sorry to nitpick.. I know you guys do a fantastic job nonetheless to bring us the latest and greatest, when it comes to automotive content..
Wow what are the odds, you uploaded this the same day I just got my 2020 RDX aspec. I like how they got rid of that black part on the left and right part of the lower front fender. Wish I could've gotten this but oh well
I spent time with the RDX a couple of days ago and cameras font do it justice. Much better looking car in person and the cabin is well appointed as well. The GV70 would be my number one pick in this segment, but this is definitely number two
i think both are great values and really it just depends on which style you like better - euro or japanese, but both are great.
Man, I wish they had that trim level option when I got my 2020 rdx advance. Plus, I hope they fixed the brake noise in cold weather. I do like the updates on the inside.
I have a 2020 RDX A-Spec and your right about the breaks. I live in Las Vegas and outside of summer weather the brakes screeching is awfully loud and the dealer still hasn't found a permanent fix.
I think I would get the RDX over anything in this segment with a 4 cyl.
The Santa Fe turbo is a much nicer automobile than the RDX and it’s a lot less and the 2.5 turbo Santa Fe the engine is amazing faster than the RDX quieter very luxurious interior I think Santa Fe is got it over the RDX no problem
@@benlisi2540 That’s your opinion so it’s ok. 👌
@@ivannarvaez367 😎
Great review! I like how informative and neutral you were but at 18:05 when you compared this to the Genesis: Hyundai/Genesis as well as Kia had to recall hundreds of thousands of their vehicles again this year because of engine problems. Even professional mechanics and car enthusiasts as yourself have admitted that Hyundai tried too hard to push for a luxury brand to compete with its German and Japanese competitors. The result was a disastrous auto engineering, hence, why it has a 10-year warrant for its cars. Also, funny how you mentioned how the Lexus NX has more horsepower yet this vehicle could outdrive even its F sport trim. Between the two, I’d choose Acura for its renown Honda’s reliability and greater resale price.
This guy is obviously getting paid. Unfortunately Alex too (not a surprise, Korean companies are well known for paying to inflate charts and for bribery). The way they annoyingly push people to think Genesis is luxury brand, and the artificially positive talks about Hyundai give them away.
Not to mention the fake accounts cheering then up and also mentioning Genesis 🤦
I'm not really expecting much from these two. Imagine how irresponsible (and probably mediocre working success) a person is when they jump to a TH-cam channel to live. Now they are large, but the issue is "how they started". I don't really think these two have any sense of moral or ethics, and only prove how bad idea using them as reference is.
By the way, not only recalls, but Hyundai was found destroying evidences of their car problems, and more recently, one of their employees also showed how they have been hiding seriously dangerous problems in their cars.
@@markvisser388 Oh yeah I read about that too!
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in November of 2020 that Hyundai and Kia would have to pay $137 million to cover fines and safety improvements meant to remedy the engine issue.
Smh this channel is too much with trying to shove Genesis down people’s throats.
@@lane5686 indeed, it's extremely obvious already. I wonder how much Hyundai pays them. And i hope that at some point, someone stops accepting being bribed and expose Hyundai. Then we can make these channels close (I don't think this guy can even work at macdonald's).
All started with an Australian that now defends Hyundai even when they are caught with issues that may kill people.
They aren’t wrong. Any manufacturer will have recalls. Even Toyota and Lexus has had recalls in their products. Doesn’t mean Toyotas are now dangerous to drive you know.
The gv70 is a better vehicle than the Rdx certainly better than the new Lexus nx.
The last collaboration, that I can recall, from you two was CRV vs. Rav4 but might have missed one. Thanks for the video Sofyan.
Excellent review and video. Really like the car; everything is impressive. Agree they could still improve certain features to go all the way as with the Genesis. 🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🏼😊
I have the new TLX and not being able to get advance package options was a pain so hopefully that makes it’s way to the rest of the lineup as well.
You push buttons frequently while driving? Thought Acura already had more features than a Honda. I also don't like light filtering in from a pano moon roof and in Sol Cal it is hot like crazy when I visit.
Thanks god I didn’t go for normal Rdx,i got 2021 black/red apex in 2020 and it’s still very fresh to me 👍
I'm interested in the gv70 sport prestige so I called a few Genies dealers a couple days ago and all dealers have a 4 to 5 thousands markup on their vehicles. I refuse to pay any markup price for a vehicle I will continue with my mdx until things get close to normal again. It's terrifying to go buying a new car right now.
I didn’t know it at the time but I got so so so so so lucky I was forced to buy a car in July 2020 (old car was wrecked by a hit and run) before things got crazy

Excellent job
I think that guy from Tampa does a pretty good job as well
Heated back seats but 60/40 folding. How to make the best use of heated back seats on winter ski trip of 4 people?
One of the best looking colors I've ever seen!
Where is the TypeS already...I have been wanting that since they said they were working on it for the TLX and the MDX
Hmmm... Acura actually listened to the customers...Most Car companies don't do that...
the A-Spec with Advance package is the biggest and best change to me.. Its what we wanted.. Like not having a heated steering wheel, 360 camera etc in the Advance but not it the A-spec.... This RDX is a perfect blend of sportiness and comfort... unlike some competitors....
#Savage Alex from Alexonautos coming on this review is awesome!
Like u did for a XC90 T8 and Ford Explorer ST comparison..
Him: It's all about the thunk.
Me: I like solid thunks and I cannot lie. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you sell those shirts in other sizes than extra- medium? *rim -shot* Another great review!
Overall my 2021 RDX is a good car, but the vehicle is not without “precision “ issues. The nav system does not have a decent file system in order storage for addresses-the roof liner rattles and the rear seat hinges. The dealer fixed the rattle within the heads-up display. The gas-saving start shakes the car way more than my brother's Hyundai. I was disappointed in the road noise suppression, which has been addressed for 2022.
When it comes to packaging (interior size), Honda is always the best.
*whew*got the 2021 RDX in June. 2022 didn't change anything substantial, no FOMO here
I got 1 in April but could have got the A-Spec with the Advance
@@rkenon86 yeah that's a sweet trim.
I’m sure this Rdx has the most reliable engine in the segment but overall I think the nx would be more reliable. Idk which I would choose but I do like this blue color
@@vorsprungdurchtechnik5 decent German engines but Honda has world class engines and I’d know as the worlds most reliable engine maker. Toyota is a close second. The new 2.5 may have new flaws and we will have to wait and see but Honda’s 2.0 will run circles around Bmw and Audis 4 bangers even if the Honda’s engine is a newer design
I actually test drove 3 2021 versions and for some unknown reason the 3 of them had like a frequency or vibration feeling on the gas pedal. Also if you check the forums, a lot of people has same issue. Some people are OK with it but some do not like that. I dont like it so I did not buy it. Hopefully this 2022 is better on that aspect
Could be a woofers on the firewall footwell.
@@benc4181 Music was off during the test drive. Or are those woofers for the engine sound?
@@thedronescene7474 active noise canceling.
Amongst all the luxury car reviews, you guys are the only people talking about the display functionality, audio system, and design with reference to competitors. Lots of videos talks about the headlights, door panels, wheel rim, and seats. I am like finally somebody understand what I want to know! One thing I don't agree is the overhype of horse power. We don't drive at top speed and in CA fuel efficiency trumps over performance as long as SUV is concerned. The real performance comes from the calibration of automatic gear shifting so you get the responsive punch when accelerate. I agree Genesis GV80 is the new benchmark. It waits to be proven to be low-maintainance and high reliability.
Great review! Was waiting for this.
I have the 2021 now and had the 2019 before. My 2021 still has infotainment issues but I still love it.
How is the "Auto Drive" Features on the 2022 model? Does it stay in lane without the ping Pong effect iv noticed on other honda products? I dont want to compare it to the Tesla but how close does it come?
That startup chime 7:11 doesn’t sound like my 2019 RDX.
it is a much better car than NX, even compared to X3 or Q5 it is an amazing choice
Agreed. As I predicted before anyones even driven it the 1 month old nx is already a lackluster cuv vs the 3 year old Rdx
@@naveenthemachine smh. You're everywhere promoting the Lexus hate. Why are you like this lol
Agree I drove them all and have owned over 25 cars - mostly German VW , Audi and Porsche . For the money the rdx is hard to beat
Hey Sofyan. When will you be publishing the review for the MDX Type-S?
th-cam.com/video/viHvvfHFcoc/w-d-xo.html
Would you recommend this over the telluride?
Problem is with going to the large screen is they would have to update the center console. Because, the screen would take up more of the view out of the front window.
Damn how big do you want the screen to be So?
It needs to be taller, not necessarily bigger.
Exactly. Thinks he wants at least a 43" big screen up there.

Gotta say, I’m becoming an Acura fan! I personally don’t like Japanese cars whatsoever… their interiors are atrocious as well as their tech but Acura is doing some amazing cars! I’m personally thinking about buying the 2021 TLX advance with SH-AWD over the G70 Sport prestige because of that beautiful interior on the TLX and their exterior is also stunning!
I owned the 2019 when it came out and was a complete lemon. Had the ASPEC trim. Computers would go nuts. Car would just shut down for no reason. Even when in the passing lane! Sun roof wouldn’t close. Let’s hope they fixed all the glitches. I got rid of it and went into a TLX 6 cyl ASPEC
14:23 we have a 2019 and it has Sport+. The sound isn't synthesized, either. Active noise cancellation is simply disabled in Sport+, at least in the '19-'21 models.
i have a 2018 RDX Base FWD, and is a very solid car!
That 3.5 V6 sounds nice specially in sport mode, specially being just FWD.
This one 2022 here is Def my Dream Ride!
Can You imagine this one with the 3.5 V6 Type S?
Best car reviews in the business.
Thanks for your review, but who did Acura listen to? Us customers? Reviewers? People who have no intention to buy but lots of opinions? You?
# 3 unfortunately.
Cooled or ventilated seats? Can't get a straight answer on this.
7:12 Is this a new startup chime for 2022 or has it been around for some time? I like it a lot!
That is a new chime. I’m surprised. Usually Sofyan notices that stuff.
It’s more performed oriented then the genesis and the rx350 right ?
Well 10.25 inch screens are like the standard now so wouldn't say it's small, just could be bigger since it's a luxury/premium brand. Im glad they finally offer the aspec with the advance but still hate that instrument cluster.
Last time I checked this did not lease well like over 600 fully loaded and the Genesis is probably just as bad or worse. It's hard to justify paying almost 700 a month for either of these so I just got a loaded CX-5.
A type S would be a game changer. Its 80hp short of perfect. I would have to go X3 M40xi.
Ugh, this needs a Type-s trim ASAP. BUT you know Acura, when they don't extensively update something, its for a reason.
maybe they'll do it with the next gen, which should be in a couple of years. but yeah, needs to be sooner than later for sure.
@@entertained... according to rumors from other platforms, the platform being using in the RDX isn’t design to fit the Type-s architecture. So they are completely redesigning.
@@Packerm87 makes sense; the current rdx was designed before acura started rolling out type s powertrains.
It's a mid model refresh so they're not throwing in all the bells and whistle as suppose to the nx and the g7O they're on a brand new platform
Just like this R D X was ahead of its time when it 1st released imagine when the next generation comes to life. This is just a taste of what next one will be like
Are screeching brakes still an issue like the 19,20,21 models?
Good question. 🤔
I like it. For me it's a toss up between it and the Audi Q5. Can the simulated engine sounds over the speakers be disabled? That would annoy the heck out of me.
It'd be nice to have a 3.5L V6 in the RDX.
Agreed. It would be nice to have the 3.5 in the nx as well.
Driving an SUV the way one would drive a sports car says a lot about the RDX.
Agreed. The 3 year old dated Rdx still drives better than the 1 month old Lexus nx 😆
@Jason King he is a cringe master. Every comment he makes he has the need to hate on Lexus
What a loser
They need to do a whole episode on the chip shortage..
In this segment I’d look into the Acura RDX and Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
Yeah I went with the Stelvio because it was a bit more unique.. there are RDX clones everywhere in Philly.. I wish the Alfa had the practical side of the SUV aspect as it’s cramped in the back but the car is great nonetheless I’m a single guy 26 so I have no issues
@@aayonce4 I live in LA and I see the stelvio more than RDX, stelvio is everywhere
@@Smileydudekxy wow that’s so weird lol all I see is RDX in Philly and east coast
What about GV70? It also has great handling dynamics.
15:00 - video and sound are completely detached, RPM is at redline while it's quiet and then engine sounds like it's accelerating but the RPMs are dropping.
Do you think that in 2023 it will come out with a bigger motor and touch screen?
I hope it comes with adjustable incline for back seat, as CR-V Did..
Great review…Alex is right in that the “Genesis” dealership was lousy. It’s seemingly the same Kia salesmen in tuxedo t-shirts. Smugly demanding their markups “because the market allows for it”.
So when they mention the gv70 are they referring to the base model or the top trim?
I love it. I’m so ready to hand over my 2016 rdx
✌️
I like the GV70 but I saw on the forums that owners were having e-LSD issues. Some as early as 1000 miles of ownership.
Enjoy your reviews. Kelp it up!
Looks like Alex had to change his underwear after that ride.
Not really understanding why comparing the engine to Genesis. Chinese makers also design nice cars, and that's all you apparently take to consider a maker, a luxury maker. 🤦 Despite having inefficient (unreliable and badly engineered) engines and cars, I don't really get why the insistence from you to make us think they are a luxury brand 🤢
By the way, dude, try to drive more carefully, especially when you bring someone with you.
because Genesis pays/gives huge incentives to TH-camrs to promote their crappy failures. Casio can make an expensive watch and claim it is a better value than the Rolx or Omega just because Casio has a calculator built-in as well! but that never fools anyone into thinking Casio is a luxury watch like Rolex/Omega. TH-camrs are tasked with promoting the idea that a Korean(!) brand with no heritage, prestige, presence, excellency or brand recognition is a luxury brand in the same league as BMW, MB, Audi, Lexus and Acura. Funny thing is that people younger than 30 actually buy that shit! they make fun of Acura and thing it is not in same league as Germans but would easily compare Genesis with Germans! it is all marketing shit
Thank God, I will buy one for myself
The engine description on screen says Naturally aspirated. In my head im like theres no NA inline 4 that makes that much power.

See Sofyan and Alex? You literally just admitted what I had predicted months ago about the Lexus nx before anyones driven it. The Rdx is way better than the nx350 before and after anyones driven it. You both were wrong 😑. I seriously can’t even believe you both suggested to “gave the nx a chance”…🤦♂️ when after driving the nx, it clearly disappointed sofyan a lot especially the nx350 turbo leaves a lot to be desired
The Rdx drives significantly better and performs significantly better than any nx350 turbo just as I predicted before anyones driven it. And cmon Lexus Driving Signature? Really? 🙄 it’s just marketing hype that’s virtually nonexistent
The 1 month old nx350 can’t beat a 3 year old dated Rdx.
Well done acura.
The target audience for the NX won't care about the driving or performance, they want a small Lexus SUV. It will continue to outsell the superior driving RDX. My wife has a 2018 NX and she's getting the new one when available, she isn't really considering anything else, I tried.
@@joellarrysr9977 well then why do most luxury brands offer handling and performance options? Lexus is doing that in the nx but they really really suck at it…
Sure Lexus outsells Acura but you don’t buy a car just because it sells well. You buy a car to drive it
Alex is about to toss his cookies.
Hey guys, any comments on the new multi-spoke wheels on this A-Spec Advance vs the previous year A-Spec 5-spoke wheels. Do you like the new multi-spoke wheels? Which one do you prefer?

The Japanese don't consider competitors - they do their own thing and each have there pros/cons. Idk why there are always BMW/Merc stans everywhere.

If ur anyone whose owned Japanese, German or American you'd come to appreciate each car, all of em are on 4-wheels and an engine like any car. Only a select few are truly atrocious, lol.
Why don't you do 0-60 time?
If you are seriously looking at this vehicle, please read this post plus test drive the vehicle and spend A LOT of time trying to use the Navigation/Radio/Car Play interface. I have owned an Acura RDX since 2011 including a 2021 RDX which has the same tech stack as the 2022. Acura completely ruined their vehicle with their True Touch interface. I am an accomplished technologist with a Masters Degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins and this interface is by far the most user interface I have EVER experienced. You end up looking at the touch pad and the screen much more often because the touch pad is not intuitive AT ALL. We have had the car for almost two years and we still have not gotten used to it. Normal human touch interfaces involve dragging your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor. There is no virtual cursor, rather you touch on the remote touchpad in the area corresponding to the icon that you want to select. To make matters worse, this same interface is required to select and control apps using Apple Car Play. You need to use the same interface to even control the radio. Something as simple as controlling the radio has been made drastically more difficult because of the touch pad. I am unaware of ANY other interface that operates like this - it is not a better interface, it is SIGNIFICANTLY worse.
Shame on Acura for not providing a touch screen instead of the remote touchpad. It is TERRIBLE and I will not be getting another RDX when my current lease expires.
No radio contols on the steering wheel?
