The 2019 ACURA RDX SH-AWD A-SPEC – it actually blew my mind!

This week I drove the all-new 2019 Acura RDX with SH-AWD and the A-Spec trim. The Acura RDX is Acura’s first compact luxury crossover SUV, taking over from the MDX as Acura’s entry-level crossover SUV, as the MDX grew in size and price. Originally, the RDX was built upon the same platform Honda uses for their Civic and CR-V passenger cars; however starting from its third generation, the Acura RDX is built on its own platform.

Under the hood is a 272-hp 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo w/ VTEC pushing 280 lb.-ft. Of torque through a 10-speed auto transmission.
