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.

One of Acura’s goals when designing the RDX was to design it in a way that not only maintains functionality, but also affords it a sporty look which would appeal to both a younger and older generation of SUV drivers. The RDX is also the first factory Acura product to utilize a turbocharged engine. This, along with the vehicle’s design focus on on-road performance rather than off-road ability, reinforces the crossover’s purpose as a sporty performer inside the body of a small SUV.

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.

In addition to the Super Handling All Wheel Drive system, the Acura RDX also features some of the most advanced safety features on the market today including; surrounding airbags, vehicle stability assist, anti-lock brake system and electronic brake distribution, advanced compatibility engineering and more! While the RDX was originally designed to appeal more to the younger driver, Acura made sure that families would feel confident in its safety features as well.

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! Visit Acura of Tempe online at www.AcuraDealerTempe.com to learn more about the many accessories the Acura RDX has to offer!

There will continue to be comparisons made to Acura’s RDX, but the competition will continue to fall far short of the high levels RDX has set for crossovers! With better handling, a sportier look, and more luxury features…the RDX really has it all.
