2016 Acura RDX Advance Package

The RDX is Acura's compact luxury SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. It's a comfortable, quiet cruiser with a smooth ride, though it's not the most exciting thing to drive. The cabin is roomy and well laid out, with generous rear legroom and a decent-sized cargo area. Owners report strong reliability and few problems, with routine maintenance being the main expense. The Advance Package skips the Technology Package's navigation and premium audio, but adds a power tailgate and ventilated front seats for about the same money. Its 3.5L V6 makes 279 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, delivering smooth, responsive power that's effortless for daily driving. This trim's ventilated front seats are a rare find in this class, keeping you cool on warm days without sacrificing comfort.
