The RDX had a pretty narrow niche market according to the original target market defined by the manufacturer. The vehicle was designed to meet the needs and wants of the young to mid-aged man looking for style and performance. But the young to mid aged men weren't the only ones taking a hard look at the Acura RDX!
The Acura RDX is similar in size to the Honda CRV, but the similarities end there. The RDX offers a luxurious feel in a sporty package. It provides the perfect combination that can maneuver city streets all week for busy professionals that want to use their same vehicle to go from work week to weekend getaway! The RDX is for both work and play and because it so easily fills both needs, it appeals to a wide variety of drivers.
As a crossover, the RDX offers unibody construction (like cars). This in combination with the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (that distributes the optimum amount of torque between the front and rear axles and left and right wheels) provide a ride that is outstanding amongst comparable vehicles.
RDX offers a turbocharged, 2.4 liter, 4 cylinder engine with 240 hp. The fuel economy is an important factor in today's market and EPA estimates come in at approximately 19 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. And to add a little environmentally friendly bonus...the Acura RDX also meets ultra low emission standards.
Luxury standard features include: plenty of storage (with a popular lockable compartment that fits a briefcase or laptop easily), XM radio and heated leather seats. Buyers can also choose to add the technology package for an additional cost that would add navigation (with real time traffic updates), rear view camera, and an upgraded sound system.
For obvious reasons, the Acura RDX standouts out in the midst of the many crossover options in today's market. Drop by the nearest Acura dealership to test drive one on your own or visit San Tan Honda Superstore of Chandler today to check out the latest internet specials and deals that will get you in a new vehicle for the absolutely best price!
