Why it stands out

The 2018 Acura RDX stands out as the final year of the second generation, a version that leaned into comfort and practicality rather than outright sportiness. Acura gave this RDX a 3.5-liter V6 with 273 horsepower and a six-speed automatic transmission, and the model could be had with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It was also larger than the first-generation version, with more room inside the cabin and 61.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded flat. Acura softened the suspension for a more comfortable driving experience, and the result was a crossover aimed squarely at buyers who wanted a useful premium SUV that was easier to live with every day.

Equipment was a strong part of the appeal. The base model came with 18-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, automatic headlights, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone climate control, power heated front seats with synthetic leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a seven-speaker audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. The available Technology Package added xenon headlights, a power tailgate, navigation, and a 10-speaker ELS premium audio system. For 2016, AcuraWatch Plus brought adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation with automatic braking, lane departure intervention, and blind-spot monitoring, while the Technology Package gained an eight-inch center display and a seven-inch touchscreen. That mix of comfort, features, and value helps explain why the 2018 RDX remained appealing, even if its infotainment setup was not especially intuitive and it was less exciting to drive than the earlier turbocharged version.
