Acura RDX Engines and Transmissions

This generation centres on a 3.5-litre gasoline V6 paired with an automatic transmission, a combination that pulls strongly from low revs and shifts without fuss. The 3.5 AT arrives with either all-wheel drive, which adds traction in rain and snow, or front-wheel drive, which is lighter and generally thriftier.

Acura RDX Trims and Equipment

Equipment packages sit on top of the mechanical version rather than changing it, so the same 3.5 AT all-wheel-drive powertrain can appear under different Acura RDX trim levels. Techno is the name applied here, typically signalling upgraded technology and convenience features while the engine and drivetrain stay unchanged.
