As crossover vehicles become more and more popular, the Acura RDX, a small luxury crossover, available today at Acura of Tempe in the Phoenix area, establishes itself as not only an adventurous SUV but also has moved forward from the rest with some of the most technological features available. The RDX combines it's highly mechanized architecture and performance capabilities to offer a level of intrigue many crossover makers simply cannot match.

The Acura RDX design team focused on maintaining the highest levels of functionality incorporated inside a sporty look. The design was meant to appeal to a wide age range due to its combination of class, sport and function and buying trends indicate the attempt was a success. The Acura RDX is the first factory Acura with a turbocharged engine making it stand out as a crossover built for on road performance. The Acura RDX is definitely driver's dream on the road combined with the look of a small sports utility vehicle.

The closest comparison in the industry for the Acura RDX would be the Honda CR-V. But the term "closest comparison" is used quite loosely in this instance. The Acura RDX offers the high performance, turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine. Drivers have access to 240 horsepower and 260 pound/foot of torque. The RDX's engine feels like the engine of a luxurious sports sedan on the road creating the opportunity for crossover drivers to experience 0-60 mph in 6 seconds with a smooth ride and superior handling.

The Acura RDX comes standard as a five-speed automatic transmission (with paddle shifters) and is equipped with Acura's advanced Super Handling All Wheel Drive system. This innovative technology continuously varies power among all four wheels to enhance handling and aid in wet-weather traction.

The Acura RDX also took advantage of the latest technology when it comes to safety features. Acura's RDX includes: surrounding airbags, anti lock brake system and electronic brake distribution, vehicle stability assist & advanced compatibility engineering. The thorough safety design is another reason why the Acura RDX is so popular. The mid to older generation is very comfortable with the safety ratings of the vehicle making it the choice for another segment of the crossover market.

The Acura RDX lives up to the Acura tradition by offering some of the most technological features available; full display navigation including real-time traffic, driver's voice recognition, personalized settings, Bluetooth, surround sound, dual-zone and GPS link temperature control, power windows, power locks, power moon roof and power lumbar support and more!
