2009 Acura RDX

For 2009, the Acura RDX comes standard with a 4-way adjustable power-activated passenger front seat, along with four new exterior colors: Basque Red Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Grigio Metallic and Palladium Metallic.

The RDX is equipped with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine incorporating computer-controlled "intelligent" intake/exhaust valve actuation system that delivers enhanced performance across a broad powerband while still delivering superior fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions. Rated output for the RDX engine is 240 horsepower with 260 lb-ft of torque.

Acura's exclusive Super Handling All-Wheel Drive is standard on the RDX, helping it to maximize available traction while improving handling balance and responsiveness.

RDX exterior styling emphasizes the SUV's sporty athleticism. Standard 18-inch wheels and tires, large wheel arches, aggressively raked body sides, steeply raked windscreen, and a short rear overhang generate an RDX with a taut and muscular presence.

Inside the RDX, the front seats feature a high outward visibility "eye point" that provides a confident field of view. The three-passenger rear seat has a 60/40 split-folding capability and, when folded flat, expands the load area and increases the total cargo volume to 60.6 cubic feet.
