Acura RDX
As Acura’s entry-level SUV, the RDX is one of the most popular models in the compact luxury segment. There are no significant changes for 2023 since the RDX received a mid-cycle update a year ago. Under the hood, you will find a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine rated at 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque. No additional option is available. Unlike other Acura models, the RDX doesn’t offer a high-performance Type S variant yet.
