2021 Acura RDX Technology Package

The 2021 RDX is Acura's compact luxury SUV, slotting between the smaller CDX and the larger MDX. It competes with the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Lexus NX, offering a strong value with a long list of standard equipment. The RDX handles with a composed, planted feel, and its turbo engine pulls eagerly from low revs. Inside, the cabin is roomy and well-built, with comfortable seats and a generous cargo area, though the touchpad controller takes some getting used to. Standard tech includes a 10.2-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the AcuraWatch suite of safety features. The Technology Package sits between the base RDX and the A-Spec, adding navigation, a premium ELS Studio audio system, and front parking sensors. Its 2.0L I4 makes 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, routed through a ten-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, and it returns 23 mpg combined.
