2016 ACURA RDX: The all-new 2016 Acura RDX luxury crossover can be distinguished from its predecessors by the Jewel Eye LED projector headlamps, three-dimensional grille treatment and LED taillights with a light-pipe design. Inside, the new RDX gets a high-contrast silver and black trim, standard heated front seats and new second-row air-conditioning vents, Acura's intuitive dual-screen on-demand multi-information display, HD Radio, blind spot information and rear cross traffic monitor. A new advance package adds rain-sensing wipers, front fog lights, bi-directional keyless remote engine start, front and rear parking sensors, ventilated front seats, an auto-dimming driver's side mirror, plus, advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies. All RDX models with AcuraWatch get a 4.2-inch full-color TFT Multi-Information Display that includes expanded, customizable information readouts such as average vehicle speed, fuel economy, tire pressure monitoring system and turn-by-turn navigation. Improved performance comes from the new 3.5-liter SOHC i-VTEC V-6 engine that has an output of 276-horsepower, mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox. Acura's variable cylinder management allows for deactivation of three of the engine's six cylinders under light engine loads. Buyers have a choice of front-wheel drive or AWD configurations. When the second-row seating is down, there is 26.1 cu. ft. of cargo room, which increases to 61.3 cu. ft. behind the first row. The RDX is produced at the company's East Liberty, Ohio, plant, using domestic and globally sourced parts. Today, approximately 94 percent of all Acura models sold in America are made in the company's plants in Ohio and Alabama.
