Auto Redesign

2016 Acura RDX Drive Review - Autoweek - The 2016 Acura RDX got a full-confront makeover for the new model year, and in all honesty, it required it. In spite of the fact that the last one didn't get the brand's deplorable full nose treatment, it experienced unremarkable person looks even in a fragment not known for energizing styling.

Acura upgraded the appearance and included its cool Jewel Eye headlights alongside LED taillights with light funneling, all of which benefits a bit to spruce up the front and back sashes. The guard gets a couple of additional character lines, and the haze lights have cross section supplements and a jutting outskirt. The back is the same - more character lines, everything looks somewhat more keen and the back reflectors are a bit more profound, with cooler-looking encompasses.

Generally, the visual still won't clear you out, however Acura discovered a decent harmony between a lot of snout and insufficient energy.

Power still originates from Honda's 3.5-liter SOHC VTEC V6. It now makes 279 hp and 252 lb-ft, up a couple ticks from a year ago. The EPA says it gets 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the interstate. A six-pace programmed handles apparatus changes and sends energy to every one of the four corners.

Drivers of the RDX are welcomed with a plain yet clean-looking dash and instrument board with some metal accents. Double screens command the focal part, which takes into consideration the utilization of route and sound or atmosphere controls in the meantime. The wheel is littered with catches, some of which get squeezed when holding the wheel in a turn, however by and large having everything inside of range is a net positive.

The seats are agreeable and simple to change, however a bit level on the back and base - the RDX isn't a corner carver, so solace is on the menu. There's a decent measure of room by your feet and a pleasant, enormous dead pedal on which to rest your left foot.
