2020 Acura RDX Engine Specs

2020 Acura RDX offers only one powertrain option. It is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. This mill produces 272 hp and 280 lb-ft, which is far better than most of the class rivals. Also, the drivetrain is connected to a 10-speed transmission, which sends power to the front wheel in the standard setup. Of course, Acura has an addition Super Handling system that powers all four wheels.

Moreover, the lower gears will improve acceleration. At the same time, higher ration will improve the fuel economy. The 2.0-liter unit includes a start/stop feature to save juice while the engine is idle. The automaker recommended using Premium gasoline.

2020 RDX Price

2020 Acura RDX comes with an MSRP of $37,600 for the base FWD model. But, $995 of destination charge is not included in that price. The Technology Package will cost you an additional $3,200, while the AWD adds an extra $2,000 to the amount. However, the Technology Package includes a premium sound system, navigation, leather seats, and a bundle of safety and driver’s assistance.

We think that the price is negligible for the features you’ll get. Moreover, the Advance Package with SH-AWD comes with a price tag of $48,700. With these prices, Acura RDX is still in a similar range with the rest of the class rivals.
