2022 Acura RDX Specs

2022 RDX Performance Specs

Kicking off our review, let’s talk about performance specs. The 2022 Acura RDX offers lots of power, great acceleration, and impressive fuel-economy ratings, making it ideal for everyday travels around town.

This model comes standard with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, which is then mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift paddle shifters.

Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) is standard, but Super Handling All-Wheel Drive^™ (SH-AWD^®) is available—even on the base trim. This SH-AWD^® system will give you optimal traction on wet surfaces by evenly distributing power between the front and rear wheels. If that isn’t enough, it’ll also boost handling on dry roads, giving you a more spirited ride.

Plus, the Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) gives you unique driving modes, such as:

• Comfort
• Snow
• Sport
• Sport+

With that kind of handling, you’ll no doubt want to spend hours cruising around the city. Thankfully, you’ll have no problem doing so with the generous fuel economy ratings that the RDX offers. The FWD model achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 22 city/28 highway MPG, while the SH-AWD^® model achieves a similar EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway MPG.¹

Acura RDX Exterior Specs & Design

Since the 2022 RDX is a compact SUV, it’s small enough to navigate narrow city streets and tight parking spots. This is thanks to these exterior dimensions:

• Length:4 inches
• Width:8 inches
• Height:7 inches
• Wheelbase:3 inches

When it comes to exterior design, the RDX has a bold look with standout elements.

For example, the standard Jewel Eye^® LED headlights give you seven white and bright LED lamps per headlight. These lights also use less energy and last longer than other headlights.

Plus, you’ll be able to sharpen the look of the RDX with gloss black accents and 20-inch Shark Gray alloy wheels with the A-Spec^® Package. In the end, your car is sure to grab the attention of anyone who walks or drives by.

RDX Interior Specs & Features

Although the Acura RDX is small enough for city travels, it’s big enough to comfortably seat five people inside.

Everyone will have room to spare, which you can see in the following interior dimensions:

Additionally, this vehicle offers tons of cargo room for shopping bags, luggage, and other essential items. You’ll start with 29.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats. Once you fold down that back row, you’ll find up to 79.8 cubic feet of cargo room to work with.

Aside from the abundant cabin space, there are plenty of amenities that can keep everyone on board happy. These include available heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear outboard seats, and a heated steering wheel. If it’s especially hot or cold outside, you can quickly get comfortable in this cabin with just the touch of a button.
