The RDX that we got closely acquainted with at the 2018 Detroit auto show was only a prototype of the 2019 model, but the production versions are ready for their turn in the spotlight before the 2019 RDX hits dealerships in mid-2018.

There are a few firsts that will debut along with the RDX. This will be the first model to feature Acura’s new True Touchpad Interface (which I tried out in Detroit), and it will be its first SUV to feature the more aggressive A-Spec styling treatment, as well. We know the RDX will offer Acura’s Super-Handling all-wheel drive, 10-speed automatic transmission and a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (though power figures not yet released).

We’ll have more on the third-generation RDX when we get up close to it in New York for its March 28 debut.
