The 2018 Acura RDX will arrive in dealerships
tomorrow across the US, while carrying price of US$ 35,800 for the entry-level
FWD model.
Customers interested in AcuraWatch safety tech need
spend at least US$ 37,100 on the FWD model with the AcuraWatch Plus Package,
although you can get all the goodies as standard by opting for the Advance
Package.
The AcuraWatch suite of technologies includes
adaptive cruise control (ACC), collision mitigation braking system (CMBS),
forward collision warning (FCW), lane departure warning (LDW) and lane keeping
assist system (LKAS).
Powering the 2018 RDX is a 3.5-liter V6 petrol unit,
putting down 279 horsepower and 341 Nm of torque. Performance
figures remain unchanged from the 2017MY version, as does the styling, both
inside and out.
The price however is a bit higher than before as
you'd be spending approximately US$ 430 more for the entry-level front wheel drive
version than you would have last year.
