RDX Performance

Adrenaline Starts Now

The RDX puts horsepower, fuel efficiency and driving performance well within your reach. With the 3.5-litre, 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC^® 6-cylinder engine, you’re connected with V6 power. The exceptional drive is enhanced further by the smooth, responsive power delivery of the Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™. And thanks to Variable Cylinder Management^® (VCM^®), you get help with your fuel economy when the RDX shuts down cylinders that aren’t needed in certain driving conditions.

Horsepower and Torque

With 273 horsepower, this is our most powerful RDX ever. And when you combine that with 251 lb.-ft. of torque, you can tame the toughest traffic or the most unruly roads. Experience the power and precision of the RDX as you take corners and turn heads.

18-inch Wheels

Beyond reinforcing the street style design and impressive performance look of the RDX, 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels add to the undeniable allure of the RDX. (Accessorized Model Shown)

Sequential SportShift^® Paddle Shifters

Experience the thrill of race-inspired control at the touch of your fingers. Just behind the sporty steering wheel, you’ll find intuitively placed paddle-shifting transmission controls designed to add that extra boost of exhilaration to an already exciting 6-speed automatic transmission.

AWD with Intelligent Control System™

Enjoy corner-carving confidence as you and your machine conquer dry pavement, rain or snow, thanks to AWD with Intelligent Control System™. The RDX has exceptional traction and control in low-grip driving conditions, and a faster, more intuitive initial response when a loss of traction is detected, giving you outstanding overall performance and handling.

Confidence-inspiring Handling

The fully independent front and rear suspension provide you with the exceptional handling and rigid feel you would expect from a high-performance sports sedan. The Amplitude Reactive Damper reads driver input and road conditions to adjust your drive to suit the surface you’re driving on and exactly how you’re driving it. And the MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension enhance your handling and ride comfort, so you can now carve every corner precisely the way you want – absolutely perfectly.
