check it out this is the third
generation Acura RDX and it is all-new
like totally completely overhauled for
the 2019 model year don't believe me
well I probably wouldn't either but this
luxury crossover is so fresh it rides
atop a brand new Acura exclusive
architecture one that's stiffer than the
platform underpinning today's model
despite having a 1.2 inch wider track
and a wheelbase that's been stretched by
two and a half inches the 2019 RDX is
also lighter how about that behind that
diamond Pentagon grille resides a new
2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder
engine output figures have not been
released but it supposedly has 40% more
low-end torque than the 2018 models 3.5
liter v6 for reference that unit can
muster a maximum of 252 foot-pounds at
4900 rpm a 10 speed automatic
transmission will be standard in every
RDX Acuras torque vectoring super
handling all-wheel drive system returns
complete with a newly designed rear
differential that can handle 40% more
torque than before adaptive suspension
dampers are also on the menu being a
clean sheet redesigned the 2019 RDX is
the first Acura to fully embrace their
new design theme which debuted on the
precision concept car several years ago
offering customers even more sportiness
and style this will also be the brand's
first crossover offered in a spectrum
but proving it's more than just a pretty
face the RDX is interior is expected to
offer class leading rear seat legroom
and cargo space with accommodations for
up to five people this luxury crossovers
interior is all-new with a very
futuristic design plus all of the wood
and metal trim is real which is always a
plus but looky here there's also a brand
new Android based infotainment system
with a 10.2 inch full HD screen it's
controlled by the Acura true touchpad
interface a laptop
click pad on the center console making
it more intuitive than rival systems
it's been mapped for one-to-one
precision and what that means is if you
click on the upper left corner of the
touchpad it corresponds to the upper
left corner on the display screen no
scrolling or extra swiping required so
the all-new 2019 Acura RDX is scheduled
to go on sale around about the middle of
the year now engine output figures fuel
economy estimates and pricing will of
course be released closer to its on sale
date so stay tuned for all of that and
