“It’s a five-seat luxury crossover SUV that rocks a strong turbo-4 and edgy looks.
The RDX is Acura’s most polished crossover SUV yet, with an athletic and muscular look that captures all its brand styling cues in a cohesive way. The 2022 Acura RDX sports scads of space and strong turbo-4 power to please wagon fans and sport-sedan drivers equally well” – thecarconnection.com
“Those seeking a compact SUV with a premium badge and an athletic chassis will find the 2022 Acura RDX fits that brief and doesn’t require Porsche Macan or Mercedes-Benz GLC-class money” – caranddriver.com

What About The Interior?
“A roomy, versatile interior is one of the reasons we like the RDX” –motortrend.com
Is the Tech Up To Snuff?
“The 7.0-inch instrument cluster now has a digital speedometer. New tech for 2022 includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. LED ambient lighting, Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging, and a rear camera washer are available in the Technology package. Advance models gain remote engine start with expanded range, power-folding mirrors, and a 12-volt power outlet in the cargo area”- motortrend.com
What makes it go?
“Every RDX is powered by a 272-hp turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive (or “SH-AWD” in Acura-speak). The A-Spec version we tested had a responsive gas pedal at low speeds, and it pulled away from stoplights with authority” – caraddriver.com
What’s it Like to Drive?
“Acura’s third-generation RDX impressed us on our test track and on the road. It has agile handling, a powerful turbocharged engine, a modern interior, and standard advanced safety features” –consumerreports.com
Is it Safe?
“For 2022, features are added to the AcuraWatch driver assist and active safety suite that’s included on every RDX. Lane change assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear seat occupant alert, and front and rear parking sensors are among the newly expanded features. The front automatic emergency braking system now includes pedestrian detection. Adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist remain standard.
We expect the 2022 RDX to preserve the same excellent safety scores it achieved last year: a five-star overall rating from the NHTSA, and Top Safety Pick + designation from the IIHS, both the highest possible scores from those bodies” – motortrend.com
What’s New for 2022?
“Mild styling changes include a thinner chrome surround on the grille and front air intakes, as well as a different rear fascia with rectangular exhaust outlets. Also new are improved sound insulation, more safety equipment, and new exterior color options. A minor shuffling of packages includes more features within both the Technology and Advance packages and the option of adding the A-Spec treatment to the Advance package” – autotrader.com
Final Thoughts
“It’s not hard to understand why the Acura RDX is the hottest-selling small luxury crossover, bundling a comfortable interior and attractive styling with a comfortable, sporty-ish driving experience” – motor1.com
“Budget luxury can certainly be an oxymoron when it comes to cars, but that intersection of affordability and refinement is where the 2022 Acura RDX finds its place in the world. Sure, there are some compromises to be made, but overall the RDX compares quite well to more expensive small SUVs from Audi, BMW and Mercedes” – Edmunds.com
