You can check out our earlier post on the RDX to learn how an American contributed to the development of the CUV’s turbos.
The fully-equipped RDX comes standard with a dual-zone automatic climate control system, a 360-watt, 7-speaker premium sound system with a multi-format 6-disc changer, XM Satellite Radio, an MP3/auxiliary input jack, and a full complement of air bag protection.

June 15th, 2006
Acura launches its first compact SUV as a five-seat wagon powered by the company’s first turbocharged engine. RDX is 2 inches shorter in wheelbase and 8 inches shorter overall than Acura’s seven-passenger MDX. The only engine is a 240-hp turbo 4-cyl. It teams with a 5-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel paddles for manual operation. RDX has Acura’s Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system that apportions power between the rear wheels to enhance cornering stability.
