I don’t understand why so many people struggle with the, “True Touch,” touchpad. Yes, it’s different than a normal touchpad, but when I test drove an RDX it was pretty easy to acclimate to. Since you can rearrange the icons, you can put the most used ones in the corners and it’s a quick and smooth experience.

I have a 22 aspec (no advance for me) and I love it. I would have loved to see a fully digital gauge cluster like Audi is doing but I still love the analog (even if they are hard to see in sun). It is annoying that remote start doesn't come standard for the aspec although you can pay for the acura link subscription (which has been disappointing for me) instead of having a key fob. All in all though, I love this vehicle and it's great fun to drive for a small SUV at a better price point than bmw/audi and a few others.

You could even talk about relative insurance cost for a specific vehicle ( cheap vs expensive)
@sethdressen9013 2 жыл бұрын
Agreed! I think the addition of gas prices along with the cost per year would be wonderful. Insurance cost would be tricky, I'm 99% sure they base how much you pay mostly on area, and # of accidents per age group, gender and a whole bunch of factors. BUT a good range would be nice!

The lock button for the tailgate (a narrow button) is located to the right of the open button (wider button). In my view that's more useful as you don't need to walk back to the rear doors to lock if you are standing behind the tailgate and it was not opened.

Good job boys! The RDX just works so well especially in Canada where we have to deal,with crappy roads. Having a front to back AWD system makes the RDX feel very secure in all conditions. I’ve driven the 2022 RDX with adaptive suspension and the difference between comfort and sport are noticeable. Agreed on the 2021 and older RDX the difference was hard to feel. Definitely a great all rounder and if I was looking for a smaller SUV this would be in my driveway.

I bought my 2020 Acura RDX right after your first review of this SUV! I opted for the Elite trim (I think it's Technology in America) because I didn't want the red dash cluster. One thing I hate about the SUV is that it doesn't have a digital speedometer in the middle, as you see in the video, it's nice to see they added that in the 2022 RDX. There is actually a lock button for the car on the trunk. The button is right beside the trunk release, it took me two months to figure that out haha Also, wouldn't this be more comparable to the 2022 Lexus NX just because you get three-row on the RX?
@ElectricBlueIX 6 ай бұрын
Acura always executes. My wife had a 2012 TSX with Tech package and we loved it. Power was a little lacking with the 2.4 liter but very smooth and fuel efficient. I love that Acura has kept almost everything physical and analog, especially the gauge cluster. Touch screens and digital clusters can be too much sometimes.

Every car I tested with touchscreens were distracting to change anything and it makes you constantly look down from the road. Hated how the luxury brands force $5+k packages in you when everything is covered in 3 total packages (base, a spec, plat elite a spec) Other car is a manual BMW 340XI so wasn't looking for a something overly aggressive. This is great for a family of 4 + dog

Bought a 2021 RDX A-spec last year and really like almost everything about it. We have some minor gripes/annoyances but nothing major. Overall I feel its a perfectly blended midsize SUV between luxury and sportiness. Its my wife's daily driver and has the right amount of luxury for her without breaking the bank, and for the times I'm driving it has just enough sportiness to have some fun with and reminisce about having a sports car again one day. If there is one thing I really wish it had it would be the digital speedometer. Hoping they add that to the 2021's through a software update since its now available on the 2022's. Its the exact same system so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

You do have to wait for the hatch to close to reach that lock button. If you’re speaking about just closing the hatch and leaving right away, while hatch is still closing, the proximity walk away feature should then help w that scenario.

Interior space and cargo, along with bang for buck Crush all those competitors. I have a 21 advance shawd. I love it. The auto pilot CC steering is garbage, but otherwise it's a dream. Mpg mostly city is about 16.5 for be, 23 for 50/50 .. small gas tank is another negative but oh well. It's biggest competitor imo is the Hyundai Santa Fe calligraphy now

That tiny tiny tiny volume knob on the console was the #1 reason I did not trade in my 2020 TLX for a new one. You guys make a valid point however: I rent Mazda's CX-5 any chance I can grab one on the rental ready line and don't hate that the volume knob is low on the console. Maybe b/c the dial to control everything is also located there. But I HATE HATE HATE that lone knob on the console on the new Acura setup!

The trunk lock button isn’t a big deal cause when you walk more than 5 feet away, the vehicle will lock automatically and give you a beep to let you know.

Finally a RDX review. Thanks, I plan on picking one up this summer. As a married couple looking at this car, I am happy that it doesn't have built in baby shades, those are terrible visually and functionally, unless you have baby's. I agree that the infotainment system will take some learning, but I plug my phone and listen to Spotify and use Google maps. I wish trunk space and SH-AWD were talked about more, because those are also top in its class.

I also really love this SUV. I daily-drove one myself a few months ago. Part of me still wants it to be more affordable 😂 $45k would have me convinced without question. Im curious to see if they'll drop a Type-S with a detuned V6 or the outgoing Type R motor, or if they would further tune/evolve the current engine like the MDX/TLX Type-S seemed to do

@@lowlifeangler i have a crv 2018 and a acura rdx 2021, not in a milliom years i can compare those 2 cars in nothing!, the 2 cars are opositive of each other, the rdx is much faster better materials, the crv is bigger but it still lacks a lot of things , to make a comparison i got the new lexus nx 350h 2022 i can surely compare it with a rdx as the owner of those 3 cars i can say the rdx and the lexus are almost there almost same feeling of comfort, the lexus is slower but good materials, and the rdx is more comfy than the lexus in total space, the lexus looks more sport than the rdx but at the end of the day i love those 2 cars , and the crv is on sale i dont think i need it

@@MMM-wh9iz 100% I have owned 2 Honda's and now a 2021 RDX and the Acura is definitely a tier above any top trim Honda. The dudes who call Acura's overpriced Honda's simply haven't actually driven or been inside an Acura lol I would know because I use to be one of them! Finally drove an RDX last year because my wife liked the looks of it and it blew me away. We ended up buying it over a Volvo XC60, Lexus NX350 and Mazda CX-5 which were our other finalists.

I have a 2021 Acura RDX A-Spec. I got it in July 2021 and I just went through my first winter with it. The SHAWD in Canadian winter is GREAT.. However my main gripe is something I only discovered in the winter... The foldable mirrors. If your car is outside in a bad winter storm and you need to drive away your mirrors are not flipping out everytime.. Which maybe isn't the safest. You can hit the button inside to trigger the folding out but it won't always fix the problem or maybe just one of the two will fold out. Hopefully they figured that out in 22 model. And yes, I love my red seats too and very comfy as a big and tall guy.

I just installed ours a few days ago - first baby almost here - it fits great. I am 6'4'' and can still sit pretty comfortably in the passenger front seat with the car seat behind me. Can't go back as far as I'd prefer, but again I am 6'4'' with long legs so for most people it would not be an issue at all.

Great review for me in particular. I’m looking at getting my FIRST SUV. The RDX was recommended to me. Is the Genesis GV70 better? I live in N Florida so no snow. But, lots of showers and long summers. So many options in this class that I’m really having a hard time deciding. I will not get the Buick. Lol! Any informed opinions out there? Thank you!
