If Acura RDXs have so far appealed to reliable crossover SUV’s lovers with their comfort, their performance and their distinctive design, the 2019 model raises the bar even higher: the manufacturer decided to make this line benefit from the Precision Concept and to redesign this vehicle entirely for the first time in more than a decade. The new model will be introduced at the North American International Auto Show in mid-January, and it’s very likely that it will be available before long at Acura Plus Blainville, your Acura car dealer from Blainville, near Laval.

An ambitious prototype

The 2019 Acura RDX will mark the beginning of the third generation of this luxurious and performant line of vehicles. Like most models from this manufacturer, RDXs distinguish themselves with a diamond grill in the front, jewel-shaped LED headlights, a massive cabin and finely crafted lines on the side. What will the 2019 prototype bring to the table? Acura concentrated its efforts to apply Precision Concept’s principles to a SUV for the first time. That means a lower, wider, sleeker vehicle, with a completely new cockpit, user interface and operating system! These are good news for Acura RDX’s lovers: this model is going in the right direction.

Performance expectations

There is no informations on the 2019 Acura RDX’s specifications as this point, but if the performance is similar to last year model’s, you’ll get a serious value for your money. We’re talking about a 6-cylinder, 3.5-liter i-VTEC engine that produces close to 280 HP at 6,200 rpm. This powertrain is the same stock option on the 3 versions of this model (RDX, Tech and Elite), that also share the same transmission, namely a 6-speed automatic box that won’t limit your fun behind the wheel: take control with the SportShift speed selector located on the wheel. You can also expect reactive shock absorbers, the driveability assistant and the AWD smart control system to make a comeback and to give you more reasons to pick the 2019 Acura RDX as your next vehicle.
