The 2022 Acura RDX has been updated with a sculpted style, torque-vectoring performance and the latest tech.
Now in its fifth-generation, the 2022 RDX makes its debut in new Long Beach Blue paint and Orchid Milano leather interior.
“The new 2022 RDX is the best it has ever been and further proof of Acura’s commitment to deliver premium performance products based on our unique DNA,” said Emile Korkor, vice president for Acura National Sales.
Acura engineers refined overall styling, developed a dramatically quieter cabin and retuned suspension--producing the most dynamic, comfortable and refined 5-passenger SUV in Acura history.
The 2022 RDX lineup is expanded with the availability of a new top trim, combining the sporty style of the highly popular RDX A-Spec with the premium features of the Advance Package. The 2022 RDX will begin arriving at Acura dealers nationwide in early November.
A hand-crafted limited-production 2022 RDX PMC Edition will be available at launch. Each 2022 RDX PMC Edition will be adorned exclusively in a stunning Long Beach Blue Pearl paint with Orchid Milano leather interior, both colors shared with the electrified 600-horsepower NSX Type S supercar. With production limited to just 200 units, it will be Acura's most exclusive PMC Edition yet.
“RDX has been an incredible success for Acura, with more than half a million sold since it was first introduced in 2006," sKorkor said.
Under the Hood
RDX's turbocharged 272-horsepower 2.0-liter VTEC® 4-cylinder is paired with responsive 10-speed automatic standard Sequential SportShift paddle shifters.
Passenger doors are bolstered with a new sound insulator and acoustic glass that cuts out road and wind noise. A new front fender liner and Active Sound Control (ASC) system is also included to cancel exterior sounds.
Comfort & Convenience
A 7-inch driver information display is outfitted with a digital speedometer and joins a 10.2-inch infotainment system controlled by touchpad.
Tech connectivity features include wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ integration, a USB-C charging port, and Amazon Alexa Built-In.
The 2022 Acura is Qi-compatible with wireless smartphone charging and offers Iconic Drive™ ambient LED cabin lighting in 27 lighting themes inspired by popular destinations and racetracks.
Safety
AcuraWatch™, the standard suite of safety and driver assistive technologies, delivers an upgrade on the RDX 2022.
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) has been updated with Pedestrian AEB, which operates at speeds above 6 mph.
The new Traffic Sign Recognition system uses a camera, rather than GPS location and shows accurate speed limit information on a Head-Up Display and 7-inch digital instrument screen.
A new rear seat belt reminder system uses audible and visual cues to inform drivers if back seat occupants are wearing their seatbelts.
