The car is complete with 10 different trims, and all of them include the features mentioned below. The newest features to safety and performance will put the 2017 Acura RDX at the top of the list.

Performance Features

The 2017 Acura RDX has a boost to the power from last year with a 3.5-liter V6 and 279 horsepower. The Acura has also had work done, so it has better tuning and a better response time for even better control. Most of the competition is going with a four-cylinder, while the RDX’s V6 is stronger and more responsive than ever. The sedan also has stronger torque, which allows it to work more smoothly and without needing to downshift while accelerating.

The new styling to the Acura RDX is sleeker and has thicker fenders. The new design includes a string of five LEDs for headlights.

Interior

The interior has also gone through a complete redesign and is now more comfortable. It also has more controls and features than earlier years. The RDX has seating that fits two in the front and three in the rear of the vehicle. The rear seats fold down to add some extra storage space to the Acura RDX. The hidden underfloor storage has space for an extra 15 cubic feet of room.

Safety

There are also safety features all the way around in the RDX, with front, side, and side curtain airbags that have you covered on all sides. The car also features a rearview camera, rollover sensor, electronic stability control, and traction control that are all standard. The Acura RDX also has the AcuraWatch suite with active safety tech. The new tech includes adaptive cruise control, automatic braking, forward collision warnings, and lane keep. The new forward collision warning system detects dangerous objects in your way and warns you when they are too close.

Features

The new features include a seven-speaker system that supports MP3 and USB devices. There is also a keyless ignition, hands-free calling, cruise control, and climate control. The new technology package includes HD radio, blind-spot monitors, and a dual-screen infotainment display. With the new parking sensors parking will be the easiest thing you do when you get to work. Navigation is optional, but it’s included in the tech packages along with voice recognition software.

The 2017 Acura RDX still includes a V6 that will keep your trips speedy and smooth no matter how far you need to go. With all the features in safety, you will be able to ride from one place to another comfortably and without a worry. The room that is available in the RDX will give you the ability to go on road trips with friends and be able to travel to any destination with all the luggage you need.
