The extra money translates into two more cylinders: The 2013 RDX features a new 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 33 more horses than the outgoing model, for a total of 273 hp. The smaller, turbocharged 2.3-liter is gone from the lineup; however the Acura claims fuel mileage will improve.
2013 model front-drive is expected to get up to 20 mpg city and 28 mpg on the highway, for the outgoing FWD RDX against 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
Latest six-speed transmission is standard on the RDX, while the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system costs an extra $1,400.
The RDX gets a refreshed interior with extra noise insulation. Leather seats are standard, as it has a premium audio system and a power moon roof. The 2013 model even obtains the Pandora Internet radio, access that is keyless and a rearview camera standard.
The Technology package is a $3,700 option that adds navigation voice recognition, a hard drive for music, traffic and weather functions, automatic climate control with dual-zone and a power tailgate.
The 2013 Acura RDX will be manufactured at Honda’s plant in East Liberty, Ohio, and will go on sale in early spring 2012.
