IT’S ALL
ABOUT HOW
IT DRIVES.
Driving the RDX through a curvy stretch of road puts you
more in mind of a sports car than an SUV. With its low center
of gravity and features like speed-sensitive power steering,
the RDX handles with surprising agility.

ABOUT HOW
IT RIDES.
Performance Drivetrain Technology Exterior Interior Specifications
As much as the vehicle’s nimble moves make the RDX seem compact, the ride quality does just the opposite. A wide stance, long
wheelbase, a quiet cabin and a plush ride courtesy of the versatile
amplitude dampers all contribute to your ultimate comfort.

CROSSOVER.
Race-inspired paddle shifters provide intimate control of the
vehicle’s 6-speed automatic transmission while your hands
stay on the steering wheel. The transmission features gear ratios
tuned for performance throughout the rev range. The result
is impressive off-the-line acceleration as well as an optimal
balance between dynamic performance and fuel economy.

Both the front-wheel drive RDX and the available AWD model take full
advantage of the vehicle’s rigid chassis. Special attention was paid to
critical areas of the chassis where the suspension system attaches.
This lets the suspension work with minimal chassis flex, resulting in
a flatter, smoother ride. Innovative Amplitude Reactive Dampers are
specially designed to help eliminate the small vibrations caused by
rough roads without lessening the sporty nature of the vehicle.

SIZED FOR
POWER.
No single engine can provide both maximum power and maximum
efficiency. That’s why we gave the RDX the versatility of three
engines. When you need all six cylinders firing, such as during
acceleration, the full capacity of the 3.5-liter V-6 is at your
disposal, generating up to 273 horsepower.

enough power and increased fuel economy.
