Performance
All five of the 2023 Acura RDX's trims pack a punch behind the wheel with a 272-horsepower, four-cylinder, turbo 2.0-liter engine. A 10-speed auto transmission is added to the total powertrain system. The Advance and A-Spec Advance trims have standard all-wheel drive. The 2023 MDX, on the other hand, has a 290-horsepower, V6, 3.5-liter engine, and 10-speed auto transmission in most of its trims. However, the Type S and Type S Advance receive 355 horsepower from a V6 turbo 3.0-liter engine. These trims also give you Brembo front brakes, a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension, and all-wheel drive.
Appearance
The 2023 RDX has an engaging style with stunning, smooth contouring that angles fluidly for a sporty look. Both the hood and roof are tapered, and the nose is a vision of refinement. Its black bumper and five-sided grille are creased from top to bottom. Tall air gills sit below the radiant line of headlight bulbs. These lights are accompanied by a lower, zagging LED ribbon. In comparison, the 2023 MDX reflects forward-slanting definition over the smooth door panels and a taller roof. The MDX has a similar hood, bumper, and front crease. The gills are smaller and sit between the multi-elemental headlamps and triangular ports for the fog lamps.
