The RDX fully assumes its luxury SUV status and comes dressed to the nines, even in base trim. Standard equipment includes leather seating, a panoramic sunroof that allows you to bathe in natural light. Want one that is really fully loaded? Upgrading to the Tech version adds navigation and an improved audio system. Propelled by a 267-hp 3.5L V6 with cylinder deactivation whose fuel economy rivals for best-in-class, the RDX features standard intelligent all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission.
