Acura RDX

Price $54,130 – $61,430
Fuel consumption 8.6 – 11.3 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 77%(view ratings)
Acura’s best-selling product returns with no major changes for 2024. This five-seat compact luxury SUV boasts a pretty simple lineup with only one engine (a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder delivering 272 horsepower along with a 10-speed automatic transmission) and just three trim levels (Tech, A-Spec and Platinum Elite A-Spec). The company’s proven SH-AWD system ensures stable handling in all conditions. Most people find the RDX comfortable and well built, but the human-machine interface could use a redesign.
