What's Really Inside the New 2019 Acura RDX?

How did Honda make and Engineer the 2019 Acura RDX? This is a sports car with a SUV skin. ACE Body Structure, SH AWD, Double Stamped Door Rings, 5 link rear suspension but How does it work? Watch as I interview the Honda engineers that made this new RDX safer, more fun to drive, faster, with the best handling ever. This RDX 1st look video will show you Why the All New 2019 RDX Drives So Well. Powered by a new 2.0 Turbo engine and a 10 speed transmission with SH All wheel Drive. All the tech that went into this new Acura SUV will separate it from the competition.

Thank You to all the Honda team that helped build and create this also Big shout out for the help with this video that will teach others what is going on inside.

I’m trading in my 17 MDX for this! I’m so excited! Dealer says they come in late may!

[gerardolebron]

This cool. I am looking to see the latest MDX 2022 non type s pushing that SH-AWD in a track. Having you had the opportunity to see or hear the limits

[jeffvaughn]

Great great video . I have a true understanding on why my RDX handles so great. This car is truly fantastic, and really does handle like a sports car . I have put it to the test and I’m just blown away how it handles!

[AcuraAddicted]

This is a trure step up from before! SH-AWD is back, turbo is back, and some new cool things are here as well! Can't wait when this will be transferred to MDX and when there will be a Type-S MDX :)

I was always under the impression the new RDX is based on the CR-V, just like how the NX is a reskinned Rav4. Good job Honda/Acura.

[Branhawk]

My 08 MDX hauls through curves in manual mode with the SH-AWD now they updated the whole system that could be cool!

[MarkKeller]

Can you imagine what the next MDX is going to be like! Sweet Lordy! Bring it Honda/Acura!

[guergui]

Thank you we need acura also and find out why they did with the tl

[glenn]

I remember the cutaway video of the Odyssey, there was a cutaway Ridgeline right next to it. I was really hoping a video was going to be made about that. Oh well, missed opportunity. If you see one please cover it.

Best car Video review I've seen to date thx a million !
Keep up that excellent work my friend . 👍

[RandomKim]

Can’t wait to test PLEASE PLEASE HURRY UP AND BRING IT OUT TO THE DEALERS

[Eric-brjo]

They finally are starting to differentiate a model from a Honda. Past vehicles were always too similar in sharing equipment etc.

[BluePacificRQF]

Thank you! That was really fascinating (and learned a lot). Loved it.

[Yan]

Thank you for that! I'm looking for a used one. Test drove a base RDX and it got very good performance for the price. I tried the sh-awd on wet and it blown me away. More steering feel would be great because it's already good but a little syntetic from any modes.

If you could tell people in Acura my massage, please tell that new mode dial controller is really ugly, although it’s a personal taste because I don’t how many agreed with me in that. Two or four buttons, or with one more button in the middle, may sound better.
Also, for dynamic driving mode selection, wouldn’t be better if computer select after I highlighted for period of time, say 2 seconds, instead of currently instantaneous selection which I think it could tire the system.

the most informative video about he new RDX thanks

[VaughnKD]

I own a 2007 RDX. I’d be really interested in any information you could share about the difference between the 07 turbo engine and the 19. The biggest complaint with the 1st Gen RDX is the gas consumption and the harsh ride. This video addresses the ride issues, but how will they get better fuel economy than the 07 by going back to a turbo engine? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[eddevellis]

HondaPro could you please ask Honda Engineers how they plan to solve engine carbon build up issues which have afflicted all manufacturers with direct injection turbo engines. Old v-6, 3.5 and 3.0 proved very durable over the long term, hopefully new 2.0 Turbo wont experience any problems.

[FrankLinares]

Can a spare tire be added as an option?

[minimcewen]

Still have an '09 RDX and glad to see the SH-AWD back. Is the futures A-spec going to have the V6 Turbo option or will this model always have the Vtec Turbo 4? Are any of the drive modes user programmable? For instance with a 10-speed tranny there is a concern about constant shifting and w/o knowing how smooth it feels, it could be annoying. Great video.
