Acura RDX Engines and Transmissions

The Acura RDX engine in this generation is a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol unit paired with an automatic transmission, as in the 2.0 AT versions. Turbocharging delivers strong pull from low revs, so overtaking and motorway merging feel effortless without a large engine. Drivetrain choice is the main split: front-wheel drive versions are lighter and typically more economical, while all-wheel drive adds traction on wet roads, gravel and winter surfaces.
