One of the best handling compact luxury SUVs, the 2008 Acura RDX incorporates advanced technology, a turbocharged engine, and super handling along with knife-edge styling.

The standard 2.3 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder produces 240 horsepower and ample amounts of torque for excellent acceleration while delivering good fuel economy. The sophisticated 5-speed automatic transmission features steering wheel-mounted SportShift paddle shifters to take full advantage of the engine’s powerband. The revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive System provides not only excellent traction on slippery roads, but enhanced high-performance dry-road handling and supremely confident cornering abilities with Direct Yaw Control.

Superior braking power is provided by the 4-channel anti-lock braking system with Electronic Brake Distribution and Brake Assist to minimize lockup during hard braking. Standard Vehicle Stability Assist helps to keep the RDX on track during fast or tight turns, while Traction Control help to minimize wheelslip and help acceleration on slippery surfaces. Active head restraints, dual-stage front airbags, dual front seat-mounted side airbags, and side curtain airbags protect passengers in both rows in a collision. With the optional Technology Package, the available Rearview Camera displays a view of what’s behind the vehicle on the 8-inch navigation screen. Standard Xenon High-Intensity Discharge headlamps increase road visibility without blinding other drivers.

The aforementioned navigation system offers a vast DVD destination database, voice recognition, and real-time traffic information to expertly guide you to your destination. The available ELS Premium Sound System features 410 watts, 10 speaker, enhanced digital sampling, a 6-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3/WMA capability, XM® Satellite Radio, and an auxiliary input jack for personal music players – which all adds up to lifelike sound reproduction and amazing clarity. Standard Bluetooth® offers hands-free communication with compatible cell phones. The perfect driving position comes courtesy of a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with memory recall for two drivers.

A triumph in style and technology, the 2008 Acura RDX might be the ultimate blend of sportscar finesse and SUV functionality.
