RDX Trim
This is where it all begins. The RDX trim comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that gives 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Fuel use is around 9.4 L/100 km combined, so it’s good for both city and highway. Inside, there’s space for five people. The seats are covered in soft cloth that feels comfortable on long drives. When you fold down the rear seats, you get 2,260 litres of space, plenty of room for sports gear, groceries, or camping supplies. You’ll find a 10.2-inch touchscreen that works with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A wireless charger keeps your phone powered. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard, which is great for our cold, rainy mornings. There’s also a power tailgate, fog lights, keyless entry, and push-button start. Safety is a big focus, too. AcuraWatch is included and gives you helpful features like forward collision warning and lane keeping assist.
A‑SPEC Trim
This trim takes everything from the base RDX and adds a sportier feel. It keeps the same strong engine and smooth drive, using the same amount of fuel. The look is where it stands out. It has bold wheels, dark trim pieces, and a more athletic design. Inside, the seats are upgraded to Ultrasuede and leather, which gives the cabin a nice mix of soft and smooth. The touchscreen stays at 10.2-inches, with all the same wireless features. It still seats five and offers the same big cargo space when you fold the back seats. The wireless charger, heated seats, and fog lights are all here, too. It just feels more fun and fresh, perfect if you want something that turns heads in the parking lot.
Platinum Elite A‑SPEC Trim
This trim is all about top comfort. You still get the same turbo engine, horsepower, and 9.4 L/100 km fuel use, so you’re not giving anything up on performance. Inside, the seats are wrapped in premium leather and feature both heating and cooling capabilities. It makes a big difference on hot or cold days. The sound system has been upgraded, providing 16 speakers for an immersive music experience. The same 10.2-inch screen is here, with all the wireless features. The wireless charger, heated steering wheel, and power tailgate are also included. This trim also features heated rear seats and a heated windshield. It’s the most refined option, perfect for families or drivers who love a bit more comfort.
