How Do These Luxury SUVs Compare

When it comes to driving in complete comfort and style, the team at Spitzer Acura McMurray has you covered. We are pleased to introduce the 2022 Acura RDX redesign and powerful engine components that make this 7-passenger SUV a great choice. We know you have options, and that’s why we’re offering insight on the 2022 Acura RDX competitors.

You’ll soon see that the 2022 Acura RDX specs outshine the competition. See for yourself when stopping in at our Acura dealership to reserve your next RDX.

New Design Touches and Features

The 2022 Acura RDX redesign puts the competitors to shame with Jewel Eye LED headlights, a sleek body profile and an all-new Dragon Tail design. This RDX redesign includes 20-inch 5-spoke wheels with a shark gray design and a tailgate spoiler with a gloss back finish.

The 2022 Acura RDX competitors, such as the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 also offer sleek profiles, but the enhanced spoiler and finishes don’t compare to the RDX.

When looking at the 2022 Acura RDX competitors, it’s clear that the BMW X3 and Audi Q5 offer luxurious interior components, but these rivals of the RDX are not outfitted with as many comfort components of the RDX. This compact SUV features standard leather-trimmed sport seats with the option to upgrade to Milano leather-trimmed seats with contrast stitching or Ultrasuede and premium leather-trimmed seats with 12-way power driver’s seats and lumbar support.

The 2022 Acura RDX competitors, such as the BMW X3, haven’t tweaked the interior and features glossy woodgrain trim and stitched faux-leather dash and door coverings. The Audi Q5 is outfitted with standard bucket cloth front seats with the option to upgrade to leather or vinyl seating options.

The Power Drivers Crave

Feel the need for speed while enjoying premium fuel efficiency in the 2022 Acura RDX. This compact SUV is powered by a standard 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine that reaches 280 lb-ft of torque vectoring and 272 horsepower. Compared to the competition, this SUV excels with fuel economy with an average of 19 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway with models featuring the SH-AWD system.

The Audi Q5 is powered by a 2.0L turbo inline-4 engine with the option for a plug-in hybrid engine while the BMW X3 features a 2.0L 4-cylinder as well as a turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 and a mild hybrid option for this model year.

Top-Notch Safety Features

Feel good about what you drive when seeing what the 2022 RDX has to offer. This modern SUV, available with the Advance Package, not only features multiple drive modes for smooth handling, but also standard features such as front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control and collision warnings that detect obstacles that could lead to a potential collision.

This SUV comes standard with lane departure warnings and lane-keeping assist, as well as available blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic monitors, and auto high beam headlights.

The BMW X3 and Audi Q5 have many of the same driver assistance technologies, but it’s clear that you get more standard safety options when reviewing the 2022 Acura RDX specs.

First-Class Cabin Technology

There are many perks to the new exterior and interior touches in the redesigned Acura RDX, but the upgrades to technology are also impressive. New for this model year is the True Touchpad Interface technology that gives you access to a multimedia suite. The redesign includes an available head-up display, 12.3-inch high-definition precision cockpit, and a 10-inch dual-content display.

All trims of the Acura RDX are outfitted with smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integration. Upgrade to premium trim levels for a 3D view and the Acura navigation system.

The Audi Q5 and BMW X3 also offer smartphone syncing and an expansive infotainment system. It’s the intuitive, user-friendly True Touchpad interface technology that sets Acura apart from the 2022 Acura RDX competitors.
