RDX Performance Specs

So, how does Acura deliver its impressive RDX towing capacity? They start with a Turbo Aluminum-Alloy 2.0L 4-Cylinder engine that’s paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which delivers a total of 272 horsepower and up to 280 lb-ft of torque. 

While athletic and strong, this powertrain combo is also fuel-efficient and smooth on the Manchester roads. The standard front-wheel drive system is comfortable on the West Hartford roads, but for an extra boost, consider the brand’s own Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system that optimizes performance across any terrain. Here are just a few of the performance features found on the latest model:

• Available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system
