Detroit Show 2012 Highlights: Acura RDX Concept


The Acura RDX Prototype, is a virtually production-ready look at the new 2013 RDX crossover, due for launch in the spring.

It will be powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 273bhp, 33bhp more than the outgoing model, and will receive a new, lighter all-wheel drive system. The result is a target of 33.6mpg on the highway – the best economy of any petrol-powered luxury SUV in its class.

The RDX Prototype has more elegant styling than the current model, and Acura says the car is more aerodynamically efficient. The wheelbase is longer and the track wider and a revised electric power steering system designed to offer a smoother and more entertaining drive.
