2016 Acura RDX: The Eyes Have It

2016 comes early for Acura's second-best seller.

Sales, naturally, shot up. The RDX is now the brand's second-bestselling version after the MDX. And so the midcycle upgrade seen upon the 2016 version, unveiled in the Chicago auto show, is largely a spit and polish job on a vehicle that does not actually want much help.

The rear lights also are LEDs, as well as the back and front styling is slightly tweaked. The wheel layouts are not old, also.

And while the torque of Acura -vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive isn't creating a recovery, the firm does maintain the present all-wheel-drive system was tweaked to send more torque to the back wheels. New active engine mounts are thought to help refinement.

A batch of new crash-avoidance technologies is grouped into a bundle called AcuraWatch. That includes adaptive cruise control -crash warning with automatic braking, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. The AcuraWatch attributes can be had on any trim level, although they are normal using the brand new, top-spec Advance bundle. All the electronic nannies don't keep you Acura asserts the 2016 RDX additionally has enhanced crash test operation.

This spring, the 2016 RDX reaches dealers. Try to find the Jewel Eye headlights.
