Acura RDX
Acura is jumping into the growing crossover utility vehicle (CUV) segment (something between a car and SUV) with the launch of the near-luxury RDX. Like many Acuras, the RDX is jammed-pack with standard features, many of which would make your average techno-geek salivate. The RDX shares the same platform as the soon-to-be-released redesigned CR-V, and is only the second utility vehicle in the Acura family, after the full-size MDX SUV.
Release Date
Look for the RDX to be released in the middle of the summer of 2006.
Highlights
The RDX will be the first Acura to be powered by a turbocharged engine. This is an effort to get the power of a V-6 out of a four cylinder.
