Let me share something about this car.. SAFETY. The technology in this car, saved my life from a brutal car accident in a highway.. It took control; the car was TL, but I was left without a scratch.. This is why I love this car.
Sam, great video! RDX is the class leader in this segment. Size, power, technology, drive train, cargo volume, feature content, and price! Like you said in your video, this is a vehicle you really need to experience for yourself. It's nothing like the previous generation RDX, it's sleeker, handles better, more powerful, more fuel efficient, more interior space, standard panaroof and remote car starter. Don't forget the class leading 10 speed automatic transmission, super handling all wheel drive system and a host of safety features - all standard equipment. String all of those positives together and you have one hell of a vehicle that's fun to drive and a practical family hauler. Make sure this vehicle makes your short list! Chris
Fantastic review Sam love every bit of it, thank you, after 4 months of deliberation and comparing notes, I went to my Acura dealer yesterday and placed a deposit on the RDX a/spec (FWD) blue exterior/red interior, I fell in love with this SUV last month, great MSRP discount and perks from Acura now as well, way better than the competition.
I went and looked at this and the new tlx yesterday I felt more comfortable in the rdx the tlx is like sitting in a Cockpit felt a lil small but still very nice I'm torn on which one to get just wish the rdx had a lil more hp
Your viewers should note that if you choose the active dampers, you have to upgrade to the Advance Package which drops the A-Spec trim altogether. You cannot have them both.
The class action lawsuit pending with MDX/RDX has me worried! I want the RDX Aspec, when this is resolved! I don’t need problems with acceleration on the highway!
@@SamCarLegion I guess rdx could be better on gas as well and bit cheaper in price. I would be waiting for that comparison coz there is not any direct comparison of rx350 f sport & rdx a spec 👏🤝
They should be finding little things on the car to update each release until the cycle is up for that model, like the way bmw does, Acura’s lazy & playing safe, it’s like they’re just settling.
‘If you don’t like the hp, you can change it’. Huh? Joe Q Public buys this vehicle. What about all the issues this had had in last 2-3 model years? Oblivious.
What you said in your video. Good chunk of it has false information. I'm a technician at my local Acura dealerships. The 2021 or the RDX came out about a month and a half ago. I'm not hitting on your video at all. You were very formative and understood the product. And I know you're just doing your job. But the 2021 RDX A-spec. There is no change between the both of them. RdX A-Spec sport package. Is oriented to the Acura. committee for more sport interactions. And I just recently PDI had a brand new 2021 RDX A-Spec. They don't give Power folding mirrors. And compared to the advanced RTX they give you a heads up display. 20 £.21 Ardex advanced designer Fillmore luxury. But when you get a spec package is more sport oriented.
Well, the infotainment system is now 10’ inches, and there are cool graphics when selecting your drive mode, the shark 20-inches rims are a nice addition to the a/Spec line.
Can someone please tell the creator that “hasn’t changed much” is not the same as “hasn’t changed at all”. There literally is not one single change between 2020 and 2021. This was painful to watch.
NX - significantly smaller inside and out, far less power output (not even close), no torque vectoring system and a six speed auto vs ten speed in the RDX? I can see why you’d want the NX?
The Good man I know you are. The RDX offers way more bang for the buck. I will admit the NX is a nice vehicle and from a reliable luxury vehicle wrapped in a small package it’s a nice vehicle, but not up to the RDX
I drove it.. not a driver car. Too many nannies. Lose wandering steering.. if you are a driver.. u want a tight and feelings to the wheel and turn off the nannies... i own 2 acuras 2005 advance Rl and 2010 advance zdx.. those 2 acura feel better on the road then this brand new 2020 rdx!!
That’s bullshit, I have owned one for 2 years and the steering is super great, it changes with drive modes and makes a huge difference, you probably didn’t try sport+ mode
Acura RDX is still competitive today, which is why not much as changed.
pro trick : you can watch movies at kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@River Reece yup, been using KaldroStream for since december myself =)
@River Reece yup, I've been using kaldroStream for years myself :D

Thanks Chris
Just bought one, picking up tomorrow. Can't wait!

Thank you
Acura needs to make a type s RDX then it will truly be the top dog in this segment
Maticalise Music Master 100%
So no changes from last year
Yeah why not straight to the point? I want my time back sir
I went and looked at this and the new tlx yesterday I felt more comfortable in the rdx the tlx is like sitting in a Cockpit felt a lil small but still very nice I'm torn on which one to get just wish the rdx had a lil more hp
mccraejoey82 at this dealership?
Does the A-Spec come with a spare tire ? If not, does Acura provide a 20inch spare tire with extra cost ?
Why is the video VGA quality?!
If I was in the market this would be my choice over the NX. 😍 looks soo good
Right? And the NX doesn’t have a 20 inch wheel option or panoramic roofs 😭
"Nx" to small
@@vik01061 And not as good looking got to love RDX's styling lines and those 20-inch rims.
This dark tint makes it look even better.
I'm assuming it's 5% rear 15% front.
Karreil2525 I think so
Good video 👍
Thank you
Why don't they just add ambient lighting???
No digital speedometer option in the menu? DEAL KILLER for me. What an oversight. Not all of them have HUDS.
Your viewers should note that if you choose the active dampers, you have to upgrade to the Advance Package which drops the A-Spec trim altogether. You cannot have them both.
I will cut that part so people don’t get confused
Is the active dampener worth it
Chrono T yes
Wondered why he carried a messenger bag for this video until he came from behind the vehicle.
I was stuck in the high water pants
in south Texas Is it ok to buy without AWD or im I missing out on performance without AWD.
I seen one on the lot without AWD
the sh-awd is one major selling point. better handling around corners
Is there a chance to get the heads up display on a aspec model?
Acura Rdx vs Audi Q5 video request
Definitely:)
The class action lawsuit pending with MDX/RDX has me worried! I want the RDX Aspec, when this is resolved! I don’t need problems with acceleration on the highway!
I agree as well
Care to share more details or links on that? Would be appreciated.
A-Spec is very nice, but no HUD or heated steering is a deal breaker
The A-Spec in Canada includes a heated steering wheel but no rear seat heat which is a bit disappointing.
I'm confused in between lexus rx350 f sport & acura rdx a spec. Plz make a comparison of them. Go Raptor Go 🤝👏
Will do
I have driven both actually- Acura RDX all day
@@SamCarLegion much appreciated 🙏 keep up the best work
@@SamCarLegion I guess rdx could be better on gas as well and bit cheaper in price. I would be waiting for that comparison coz there is not any direct comparison of rx350 f sport & rdx a spec 👏🤝
Usman Malik121 i will make it happen :)
Active dampers are only for the Advanced trim, not the A Spec
Yes
That is correct. Advance package in USA, Platinum Elite in Canada
I like it. I just wish it had bending adaptive lights.
Wondering why they don’t offer it Acura got a lot of work to do
They offer adaptive lights on the advanced
The A Spec goes up to $58k+ after tax and all fees?
Doubt it... I paid 48k after taxes and discounts...
They should be finding little things on the car to update each release until the cycle is up for that model, like the way bmw does, Acura’s lazy & playing safe, it’s like they’re just settling.
was considering this car until u said not touch screen
100L/100km..??

You can tune it* that was my intention

Color code?
Acura RDX vs Alfa Romeo Stelvio
That would be a good comparison
Alfa romeo more power and more money
Alfa Romeo is also more unreliable and depreciates faster.
Please test the Advance model
If three was only a gear lever
Hold UP! I know we are here for the SUV but...what the hell is up with his pants and shoes?
S. Davis what about them?
I lost 50 lbs and I have no clothes so that’s why they look like that
@@SamCarLegion HAHAHAHAHahahah!! good one, thank you for the laugh.

@@SamCarLegion all gd man! And congrats on your weight loss 👍🏾👌🏾
Lol
Didnt even clean the car. Interior is dirty too lol
What's new with the 2021 Acura RDX?....NOTHING....except the price.

You sure you were at an Acura dealership?
Things havnt change much in the Rdx. Its outdated.
