The striking 2013 Acura RDX was redesigned to offer a more dynamic balance between performance and efficiency for the new model year, and impressively, it achieves that feat by adding more of both.
That’s courtesy of the RDX’s new powertrain, which features a powerful 3.5-liter V6 and a slick-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. According to Acura Dealers In CT, the result is 273 hp—an increase of 33 horses over the 2012 model—and best-in-class front-wheel-drive fuel-economy marks of 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway—representing improvements of 1 mpg/4 mpg. The RDX also will offer a revised all-wheel-drive system that helps it deliver 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway, marking jumps of 11.8 percent/22.7 percent. Both two- and four-wheel-drive configurations will drive smoother than ever, too, with the new Motion Adaptive Electric Power Steering system and a suspension that boasts Acura-only Amplitude Reactive Dampers.
