The restyled second-generation Acura RDX is a five-door premium SUV built for everyday comfort rather than drama, and its mechanical side is refreshingly straightforward once you know what to look for.
Every Acura RDX engine in this generation runs on gasoline, so you get quiet starts, easy refuelling and familiar servicing. The powertrain pairs that smooth petrol character with an automatic transmission, while the drivetrain layout on a given car determines how confidently it handles wet roads and light snow.
