It’s the giant knob that steals all focus from the multimedia controls … but has nothing to do with the multimedia system (more on that later). (With the Advance Package and its Adaptive Damper System, which our test vehicle lacked, the Sport modes also firm up the suspension.) Choose your own adventure via a rotary knob in the middle of the dashboard. This mode sharpens accelerator response and steering feel, as well as raises the transmission’s shift points.

I spent most of my time in Sport Plus mode, which amped up the fun factor. The Integrated Dynamics System includes four drive modes: Comfort, Snow, Sport and Sport Plus. It pairs well with the 10-speed automatic it’s quick to respond, shifts smoothly and feels seamlessly integrated. The turbo-four has more than enough pluck it comes on strong with very little lag and has plenty of extra power. Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, which vanished in 2013, is again available.įor those sniveling over the loss of the V-6, quit it. All 2019 models use a new 272-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous V-6 and six-speed. The RDX’s bold, edgy styling gives off an energy matched by the SUV’s engaging, dynamic road manners.
