The most complimented car I’ve ever owned and I’m a Porsche guy. It’s not in the same category as a Porsche handling wise but the ladies do love it. Red seems to be the magic color.

If I want a Acura?? This is the one I buying.

Thanks for including the measurements of both the backseat leg room as well as the cargo area. It's much more useful to see actual measurements rather than spec sheet figures

Loving the updates to your production values, especially the information graphics and seeing you both in the same frames.

I have a 22 RDX ASPEC Advance and I’d put it ahead of any German SUV in the class and WAY ahead of the Lexus. I’m a diehard Acura fan

Love your videos ..keep it up guys 👍👍

So detailing. Awesome job guys.

I love, love, love the RDX. I want this or the MDX next after I get tired of my TLX

I like it! It’s really nice! I love the metal speaker grills!

The RDX is nice and had aged pretty gracefully. There are some areas thats due for some improvements but not a deal breaker. I like the sport look of it and a standard pano sunroof is very nice. Im glad that they have this on both the MDX and RDX. Its gives a more premium feel even on the base trims.

Who a acura rdx vs Genesis Gv 70

Very nice SUV 😍🔥

Excellent review as always!

The A-Spec models what kind of seat does Milano have? The red one is the best for me. The flat floor in the back is very nice. A great option to consider. Love Drew.

I own a 2017 RDX. It's still a phenomenal car, but this one is so nice, I might have to trade in. I love the new video style and arrangments. Keep up the awesome work. You guys are my favorite car reviewers.

Test drove an RDX A-Spec blacked out model (with some Snoop on the stereo to test sound)! Really gorgeous! But wasn't ready to pull the trigger and wanted to check out ALL my options. IMO the RDX looks best in the darker colors sans chrome, with blacked out windows. I like that Acura is keeping the knobs and buttons and not going full touchscreen for everything. I personally like that the infotainment system has a controller vs touch screen. The cargo area actually has a second area of storage under the mat beyond what you showed. The stitching on the doors, dash and seats adds a touch of class to it's sporty appearance. Sound reading comes in under Stelvio and Q5. Impressive! Also like that Acura doesn't have a disclaimer that 'some features may not be available due to shortages' (such as Audi, Cadillac, etc.). I've narrowed it down to the RDX A-Spec Advance OR Q5 Prestige 45TFSI. Watched your Q5 review and you seemed to like it. Two very different models. The RDX is so sporty while the Q5 is rather conservative (interiors). At this point, I may as well wait to see what 2024 brings! Thank you for another very helpful review!

WHEn will the new design be out?

Hi can you make a video of the new Mazda CX-90

I have a 2021 tech RDX and love it. I recently rented a Mercedes GLC while on vacation to see how it drove and although it was a nice car it wasn't any better than my Acura except it was a bit quieter.

Love the new setup!

The front is massaged lightly but idk it looks different but it doesnt at the same time. Maybe its because the headlights have more jewels and is thinner than the pre refreshed.

I honestly love the button and cockpit style interior. Looks so different

I Still love my 2020 2.0T Acura RDX A SPEC, but improvements is improvements.

I like the Car Confection , sugary donut 🍩.. It makes me want one! 😋

No complaints so far. My 2023 RDX Advanced is driving me well. Will let you know if it drives me crazy in the future. Cheers

I wonder if it will be redesigned for 2024

I’m enjoying this front seat rear seat intro…. Lmao!

Bought the 2024, extremely happy.

I got one of these, same color too. Absolutely love it. Since everything is going EV, I'll probably just keep it forever.

I own a 2023 Acura RDX A Spec Advance and it's smooth as silk and makes driving a pleasure

Beautiful little ride but the fuel economy needs to be better than 23 combined.

Can you repeat those front seat options again? Just kidding! Gave me a good laugh. I’ve always liked Acura! The RDX is a very well designed vehicle and I’m sure it has done very well for Acura. Another great review. Thanks!

Mpg is painful, i need to keep it capped at 65mph on the highway to see 28mpg. With 93 Octane. 87 octane takes off 2-3 mpg. But in its class.. specs on Luxury AWD CUV/SUVs I could find: 2022 RDX - 3777 lbs - 2.0 T - 272 HP/280 lb-ft @ 1600 RPM - 22cty / 28hwy /24cmb MPG 2022 Lincoln Corsair - 3843 lbs - 2.0T - 250HP/280lb-ft @ 5500rpm - 21/29/24 MPG 2022 Lexus RX 350 F Sport - 4222 lbs - 3.5v6 - 295HP/268lb-ft @ 4700rpm - 19/26/22 MPG 2022 Volvo XC60 (B5)- 4008 lbs - 2.0T - 247HP/258 lb-ft @ 1800rpm - 22/28/24 MPG 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA 35 - 3653 lbs- 2.0T - 302HP/295 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm - 22/30/25 MPG BMW X3 xDrive30i - 4149 lbs - 2.0T - 248HP/258 lb-ft @ 1450 rpm - 21/28/24 MPG BMW X5 xDrive40i - 4863 - 3.0T - 335HP / 330 lb-ft @ 1500 RM - 21/23/25 Infiniti QX50 - 4105 lbs - 2.0T - 268HP/280 lb-ft @ 4800 rpm - 22/28/25 MPG Audi Q5 - 4079 lbs - 2.0T - 261HP/273 lb-ft @ 1600 RPM - 23/28/25 MPG So honestly it's about in-line with the rest of the class, which in general aren't that great on gas mileage.

Three things I’d really appreciate in reviews especially SUV reviews: towing capacity, spare tire availability and can you unlock all the doors from the rear doors.

Mason and Drew can y'all do a Acura RDX versus a Genesis gv70 I want to see which one that'll come on top

Good info, thanks. My life circumstances are changing and kind of pushing me out of my beloved manual, which is fine. But I've had CVT in the past and CANNOT stand them - and there aren't that many Japanese traditional auto on the market anymore. This is a great option and is probably what I'll be pulling the trigger on.

Another good report. Car Confections are one of the few reviewers, who take their vehicles in to town, instead of quiet country roads like other reviewers seem to do. I think though, they need to be more critical and are sometimes 'too kind' about a feature which is not good. For instance, RDX's 23 mpg average is very poor but, it's typical for a 2 litre turbo. 2 litre turbos seem to get no better mpg than a V or straight 6 - like for like. I would have liked less chat about Germans all the time. How about Infinity, Lexus, Lincoln and Caddy? The title of the review mentions Lexus, but there was little or no comment how the RDX compares with the NX. Also, to suggest the Honda engine is not as refined as the Merc 2 litre is interesting. I know the Merc 2 litre engine well and refined it most certainly is not. I think we all get a bit over-enamored with anything coming out of Germany.

5:38 Drew what was that! 😂.

I like Acura they make amazing looking vehicles but I wish they would make the touchscreens touchable, and not always rely on the touchpad to do it. It’ll be more easier for drivers on the road🤔 but other than that the car is a win😊

If they made a touch screen I'd buy it tomorrow. But unfortunately that would require a complete redesign to bring the screen closer to the driver, probably the next generation.

Since you guys have tested both...A spec vs A spec advance? Which would you buy and is the A spec advance worth the extra 4-5k. Thanks!

Just me or are the front logo and exhaust pipes like...comically large?

Good afternoon you 2!

Wish Acura would offer the Orchid interior color with more exterior color combinations.

Im hoping for type s version of rdx one day

I just purchased the RDX Advanced A-spec and it is a great car. So far, the mileage has not been good, I average about 20 MPG both freeway and highway, but from what I understand, the mileage should get better when the engine breaks in. The infotainment system takes a bit to get used to it, but once it's set up, I use Apple Car Play and don't need to manipulate the pad at all.

If you lift the other half of the floor mat at the back, there is more storage.

Tough for me to decide between this Acura RDX and the BMW X3 😮

Does this have ambient lighting?

Will always be on of my top 3 dream SUVs! Just gorgeous ❤️

U get luxury and reliability at the same time live Acura Honda products

The driver dash and the touch screen in the middle is really outdated for a luxury car, I even ask if I get the most topped packaged one the driver dash will stay the same, which is a big big let down for me just like the Audi Q5. On the other hand Mercedes, Lexus and have way better luxury feeling with the interior design.

Was interested till the rear seats didn't recline 😞

I own a 2020 Rdx tech package for almost 3 years. It’s one of the best cars for it’s price. But the engine is annoyingly way too loud for a luxury car. Actually just not luxury, it’s much noisier than any mainstream car. You hear it’s growling noise each time you step on gas in every stop and go. That’s biggest complaint I have.

As much as I love this car the absence of a real gear lever is a dealbreaker for me.

Good car

More reliable for sure!

I WOULD PREFER THE MDX! HAD A 2019 RDX ON LEASE…LOVED THAT SUV! STILL NO POWER TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL OR V6 ENGINE. DOES IT HAVE APPLE CARPLAY? OTHER THAN MY FEW GRIPES, IT WAS A GREAT SUV! INFOTAINMENT WAS A NIGHTMARE THOUGH!

No to the former, yes to the latter. It might be slightly more engaging that the NX 350 but does not compare to a German car. Not even close. Especially with the truly annoying engine noise, funky tech and front wheel AWD bias. Handles pretty well, not as fast as the engine sound will have you expect. Like other car makers, they pump fake engine noise into the cabin, which is unbelievably stupid. I would put the GV 70 ahead of the RDX (easily ahead actually). Acura and Lexus are the top dogs on likely reliability and lower cost to maintain.

2023 Acura RDX A-Spec SH-AWD!

Amazing headlights and front end.

No touchscreen and only one engine option that’s sad I’m waiting for the Mazda CX 70

Would it be too much to ask for an actual shifter for the transmission.?? Small detail but drives me friggin nuts! This one especially with its multiple buttons. My wife just bought an RDX. Love it but shifter is AWFUL. I have a RAM pickup with the stupid rotary dial for the trans. LOVE the truck HATE the shifter!! PLEASE just put shifter levers back in cars!!!

Incredibly, Acura does Not Include electric Steering Wheel adjustor?? Common Acura , really ?

Can't wait for the day they get rid of that dumb touch pad Other than that it's great it, Acura does a great job with the RDX

I get acura or Lexus over German brands .

Engine suck in the new RDXs. I have an 18 with the V6. Smooth and Powerful

Yes it’s a much better buy over Lexus. But not Mercedes. I’d say it’s on par w the gv70

The Acura RDX is better-looking than the Lexus NX.

They need to updated the interior though. Ditch that trackapd also 🤮

Wanna see the refresh. This body style has been out for awhile

This suv without gear stick ..isn’t worth it😫

I do like the look of the RDX but when it came down to it…the Jeep Grand Cherokee really was the true SUV….I got my Grand Cherokee Limited in October and I love everything about it. My main thing was I wanted more metal around me and get the safety features I really need. The black out features and tan interior looks great and I am loving everything about it.

I would add roof rails. Looks weird to me without them.

Lexus NX350 f-sport 3 is better test drive both u will see

Not a fan of that touchpad infotainment even if I enjoyed how it drove when I tested one. I'm Still partial to a Mazda CX5 turbo or a Genesis GV70 They really should make a RDX Type-S with the turbo six

If you have the money to pay 6 to 8 thousand dollars over msrp

Its doesnt look like a luxury SUV. Would take the lexus RX 450h over it

I’ll take genesis gv70 or Volvo xc60

Acura has never screamed luxury. Lexus makes sharp and unique designs with great interiors. Acura’s exteriors and interior just look so bland. If I was buying in the Japanese luxury market I’d invest money on a Lexus.

Yeah, that center stack is so Honda. Yuck.

0:50 - engine sounds like a sewing machine...

Great engine and great specs but the design looks like a 2019 Civic on HGH.

The dashboard is so ugly :c

Omg, still no touchscreen? Even their Hondas have touchscreen. “I’m such a fan of the touchpad” said no one, ever!

That center area with the gear shift is straight hideous… and that gage cluster. Wth…

Jesus Christ is the only way❤Psalm 23:4😊

When Acura brings back V6? 😡

Lol american idol

Somehow I never look at Acura, its like Honda to me, same as Lexus, it's a Toyota.

23 mpg combined......that sucks 👎😠

Real talk the Rdx is Similar to the Honda CRV

First

5:37 is phenomenal!

Interior is horrrrrible

No! Lexus is better quality!!

Jesus that is an ugly car inside and out. No no no!

I've noticed when you review the 4 cyl stuff you give a meh face lol but with a bmw 4 cyl you give a smile face lol so i assume bmw even with a 4 is much funnier and powerful? 😊

It's surprising that Lexus holds their value than Acura. Whatever happen to Honda. Is it becoming like Nissan nowadays?

No touchscreen? Lol
