2020 Acura RDX consumer reviews

The Acura RDX is a great car with great features. The all wheel drive is able to accommodate all road and season conditions. The built in iPhone airplay system make driving a breeze. This car is highly recommended for busy single guy like me :)

Car is great. Bought for my wife RDX technology pack and it has everything I needed. There was dealer incentive and I got great deal on this car

After driving Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE for 3 years, I did not like RAV4 and CRV when I did test drive. I liked Mercedes GLC and Audi Q5 but those are a bit expensive. I don't like BMW X3 and Lexus NX looks. I started looking for something that's fun to drive but not too pricey either. I liked RDX 2020 when I drove it and it's cheaper than GLC and Q5. So I ended up buying 2020 RDX SH-AWD A-Spec. Based on 3 weeks of ownership Pros: Performance (sports mode is pretty good and it handles curve nicely), Styling (good exterior design although A-Spec should offer more), Comfort, Panoramic Sunroof, Decent Interior (it's not the best but RDX is cheaper than most of the competitors), Android Auto (my last car didn't have it), 10.2" Center Display (personally I don't like in dash display). Cons: Fuel Economy (15 mpg, mostly city driving of 200 miles), Styling (I wish A-Spec would come with black side mirrors, black roof and black emblems/badges), No auto fold side mirrors, Blind Spot assist is not on the side mirrors. It's early for me to comment on reliability. Given the price compared to other competitors, RDX is fun to drive, good looking and comfortable. So far I'm happy with my decision to buy my first Acura.

Ride is plush, but sporty. Great sound system and safety features. Entertainment system is a little tricky, but i’d you use Apple play you are good to go till you figure out the touchpad

this car has leg room, space, storage area, multiple features. All Wheel Special Handling is amazing. all what i was looking for i found in this car

Pretty nice car; I wanted to love but just they style and felt very bulky on road and had an odd blind spot for me.

I previously owned a Lexus RX 350, but all the dealerships are over an hour away, so I decided to try the Acura. I've waited 6 months to do this review because I think you need to spend some time in a vehicle before you rate it. It has taken me some time to get used to the features on this car, and the item I hate the most is the fact that unless you push the button, the car turns off at every stop sign, stop light, etc., so you can't just crawl forward in line. The other most disappointing factor is the seat comfort. After an hour on the road, it starts to feel like you're sitting on a rock. I picked one of the gray shades, and since it's the most popular car color right now, I have trouble finding my gray car among all the others in the parking lot. The exterior styling is so similar to so many other cars that it's hard to locate mine. The engine noise is much louder than my Lexus, and Acura recommends that you use premium fuel in a 4 cylinder engine. For the price, I wish I would have shopped around more.

My current lease was coming to an end so I was looking to go from a sedan to an SUV. I was looking into purchasing a Hyundai Santa Fe and test drove it before any other vehicle. While the car was impressive, providing excellent features and good value for the price, I wasn’t too impressed with the ride itself, particularly the horsepower. The deal involving the Sante Fe fell through so I kept on with my search. Having done extensive research on all SUV segments and SUV’s within my price range I decided to look into the RDX. I test drove the vehicle and really fell in love with it. I was never the biggest Acura fan but they have knocked it out of the park with this SUV. The interior is luxurious with premium quality. The infotainment system needs a little getting use to but once all is figured out it is second nature afterwards. The SH-AWD technology Acura provides with their vehicles brings the fun factor to another level. It has the best handling of any vehicle I have ever owned or leased. Exterior has a cool look to it with chrome along the doors and front bumper. The RDX is comfortable with plenty of leg room space in the front and back seats. The price of the vehicle with the features you get is definitely a bargain in this luxury SUV segment. Many companies like Mercedes, Audi, BMW and others overcharge for various trim levels by adding just a few features to each trim. While shopping various SUV’s segments including economy and luxury many vehicles carried little to no horsepower, so for me that became a deal breaker. I wanted something that I can drive every day and have occasional fun with. As for trim levels, I ended up with the tech package AWD. I would say the A-SPEC trim is the sweet spot but it does not come with a spare tire. That is something that may be able to get negotiated into the deal. My Fiancée purchased a 2020 Lexus NX 300 recently and the RDX is by far the better vehicle and bargain all things considered. You can’t go wrong with the 2020 Acura RDX.

Family loves this car, comfortable drive and great performance. Looking forward to owning this vehicle for many years to come. Couldn’t ask for anything better

This was a definite upgrade from my previous vehicle. It has all of my must haves and so much more! Everything is easily located or controlled. I enjoy it.
