Step Up from a Honda CR-V to an Acura RDX

2025 Acura RDX

Why Moving Up to an Acura RDX from Your Honda CR-V is the Ultimate Upgrade

The Acura RDX, like the CR-V, is designed with fuel efficiency in mind, helping to reduce your carbon footprint. It’s time to consider “moving up” to the Acura RDX. This premium sport crossover takes everything you appreciate about the Honda CR-V and wraps it in an undeniably captivating package.

Think of it this way: your CR-V is a trusted companion, but the Acura RDX is a passport to a richer, more rewarding journey. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s an evolution.

Unleash Exhilarating Performance

The most immediate difference you’ll feel when transitioning from a CR-V to an RDX is the power. While the CR-V offers competent performance, the RDX shines with its turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, delivering a robust 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. That’s a significant leap from the CR-V’s 190 horsepower, translating into exhilarating acceleration and confident passing power on the highway.

But it’s not just about raw power. The RDX comes standard with Acura’s renowned Super Handling All-Wheel Driveâ„¢ (SH-AWD®) system. This isn’t your average AWD; SH-AWD® actively distributes torque between the rear wheels, side-to-side, and the rear axle. This means superior handling, enhanced stability, and a more engaging driving dynamic, especially when navigating turns or encountering challenging road conditions. The CR-V’s available AWD system is designed for traction, while the RDX’s SH-AWD® is engineered for performance and precision.

Step into a World of Elevated Luxury and Comfort

The Acura RDX makes a statement from the moment you open the door. From the door, the Acura RDX offers a comfortable and practical interior; the RDX elevates the experience with premium materials and a refined design. You’ll find:

  • Upscale Interior Design: The RDX boasts a sportier, wraparound dashboard design that envelops the driver and passenger, creating a more intimate and engaging cabin.
  • Premium Seating: Enjoy standard leatherette-trimmed sport seats, with available perforated Milano premium leather and Ultrasuede® inserts for an even more luxurious feel. Features like 12-way or even 16-way power-adjustable front seats with power lumbar support, heated front seats, and available ventilated front seats ensure ultimate comfort on any journey.
  • Sophisticated Finishes: Discover aluminum and available authentic open-pore wood trim, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication that sets it apart from the CR-V’s more utilitarian aesthetic.
  • Enhanced Sound Insulation: Experience a quieter cabin thanks to superior sound insulation, allowing you to appreciate your music or conversations without intrusive road noise fully.

Immerse Yourself in Cutting-Edge Technology

The RDX is a tech-savvy SUV that keeps you connected, entertained, and informed. While both vehicles offer modern connectivity, the RDX takes it to the next level:

  • Larger Infotainment Display: The RDX features a commanding 10.2-inch HD dual-content center display, offering a more immersive visual experience than the CR-V’s typically smaller screens.
  • Intuitive True Touchpad Interfaceâ„¢: Control your infotainment system with precision using Acura’s innovative True Touchpad Interface, providing a seamless and less distracting way to navigate features.
  • Premium Audio Experience: Immerse yourself in rich, studio-quality sound with the available ELS STUDIO 3D® Premium Audio System, featuring up to 16 speakers, including innovative Highlineâ„¢ overhead speakers for a truly captivating 3D sound experience.
  • Advanced Connectivity: Enjoy standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Autoâ„¢ compatibility, and an available wireless charging pad, ensuring your devices stay connected and powered.
  • Iconic Driveâ„¢ Ambient LED Cabin Lighting: Personalize your interior with 27 themes of ambient LED lighting, inspired by famous driving destinations, adding a layer of customizable luxury.

Advanced Safety and Confidence

The Honda CR-V and Acura RDX are committed to your safety, offering a comprehensive suite of driver-assistive technologies. However, the RDX typically includes a more robust standard offering from its AcuraWatchâ„¢ advanced safety suite, which provides peace of mind on every drive. Key features often include:

  • Collision Mitigation Braking Systemâ„¢ (CMBSâ„¢)
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
  • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
  • Road Departure Mitigation System
  • Blind Spot Information (BSI) System
  • Rear Cross Traffic Monitor

The Acura RDX has consistently earned top safety ratings from organizations like the IIHS and NHTSA, giving you confidence that you’re driving a vehicle engineered for protection.

The “Why” Behind the Upgrade

Moving from a Honda CR-V to an Acura RDX is more than buying a new car; it’s an investment in a superior driving experience. You’re not just gaining features; you’re gaining:

  • Elevated Status: The Acura badge signifies a commitment to precision craftsmanship, sophisticated design, and exhilarating performance.
  • Uncompromised Driving Dynamics: The RDX’s powerful engine and SH-AWD® system offer engagement and control that transform everyday driving into an enjoyable event.
  • Luxurious Sanctuary: The refined interior, premium materials, and advanced technology create a comfortable and connected environment for you and your passengers.
  • Enhanced Confidence: With a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features, the RDX prioritizes your well-being on every journey.
