If you're looking at the 2015 Acura RDX and thinking "That looks familiar", it's hardly surprising. The RDX has become a top seller in a robust segment, slipping past the Mercedes-Benz GLK to sit in second spot overall among small luxury SUVs this year, just behind the bestselling Audi Q5. The current, second-generation RDX debuted in 2012 for

DETROIT – To suggest Acura’s compact RDX crossover is an important machine to the brand is a significant understatement. “The most extensive Acura redesign in more than a decade.” Not only does the RDX wear the crown for top-selling model in the Acura lineup (in both Canada and the United States), but it’s also positioned in one of the

Your writer is feeling a little obsolete in this review, since it’s my job to explain about how a vehicle rides, performs and functions, even though none of that is why most folks buy an Acura RDX. RDX promises a wholesome, down-to-earth, no B.S. ownership experience. It’s a little quiet looking, as luxury utes go, but under the discree

Acura is bringing an all-new RDX to market June 15th. It adds more tech, a more athletic design, a new engine, and a $1,000 price increase. The new RDX drops the V6 of the current model for a 2.0L turbo-four. The engine makes 272 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. That's down 7 hp from the old V6 but up 28 lb-ft.

The all-new 2019 Acura RDX has arrived. It’s gone back to its roots with turbocharged power and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The new engine is a snarly little beast. The interior is a knockout. It has the best gauges I’ve seen in ages. It looks premium, but not so much that anyone will wonder if you have Tuesday evening money fi

It can be a heck of a challenge to balance state-of-the-art technology with refinement and driveability. Too often lately, we’ve seen tech for tech’s sake in modern machinery, and sometimes it becomes a distraction from the enjoyment of driving. Good technology improves lives without making a big fuss. Refinement, a powerful engine, and great

Acura has given us our first look at the production version of its all-new RDX compact crossover, a 2019 model set to be revealed at the New York auto show.

Acura is heading back to the Pikes Peak Hill Climb later this month. They're bringing a pair of TLXs , an NSX , and an unlikely surprise: a modified RDX . It's the seventh time in a row that Acura has raced to the clouds. This year, they're bringing something extra special. An RDX with a bigger turbo, an electric supercharger, and more power.

It’s no secret that SUVs and CUVs are immensely popular among Canadians and while luxury SUVs used to be big and brash, most automakers have widened their crossover lineups to appeal to the huge groups of shoppers who want extra utility but with a smaller footprint. One of the latest additions to the world of SUVs and CUVs is the subcompact luxu

Acura has announced that it is planning to bring back the Type-S performance badge, and is bringing the A-Spec sport styling trim to all new Acuras. The Type-S badge debuted with the Acura RSX, in 2002. It was a step below the Japan-only Integra Type R that was a stripped-down, lightweight, high-performance sports coupe. The Type-S still offered

Compact luxury crossovers are big business in Canada’s new-car marketplace, and with the growing popularity of the segment – as well as a slew of owners trading in their few-year-old posh-utes for the latest model – selection and pricing in the used market is strong, too. Whatever your need for a luxurious ride, upscale feature content, performa

Canadians spend over $43 billion dollars annually on clothing and footwear. Most of what we buy to clothe ourselves has more to do with the fickle personal whims of personal taste and so-called fashion than the necessity of keeping one’s body protected from the elements. And anyone who’s worn a tie or uncomfortable shoes knows that fashion doesn’t
