Acura introduced its first-ever turbocharged vehicle at the New York Auto Show, but it's not a sports car—it's an SUV. The all-new Acura RDX is a compact 5-passenger sport ute with an emphasis on performance. Shown as a prototype a few months ago at the auto show in Detroit, the RDX was designed in California and developed in Japan. The new model utilizes Acura's high-tech Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), which is the first application of this system in an SUV.
"The all-new RDX is an exciting entry to the Acura light truck lineup for 2007," said John Mendel, senior vice president of the brand's auto operations. "The RDX's innovative powertrain coupled with SH-AWD provides this SUV with excellent fuel economy and outstanding performance," he added.
The RDX boasts an array of high-tech features designed to set it apart from the competition. These include Acura's HandsFreeLink Bluetooth wireless system and an available DVD navigation system that can display real-time traffic in 31 major metro areas. A 410-watt 10-speaker ELS Surround system that plays DVD-Audio discs is also available.
