2020 Acura RDX Reviews

My Acura rdx drives smoothly, which is great if you have kids. It is a small size SUV but perfect for a small family. Enjoy the different type of modes to drive. Really great sports look to it. Really great options for colors. There will be many options for you to choose from. Great space in the back to carry everything you need. The seats are really easy for you to clean if anything gets dropped on them. Everything is comfortable. The headlights give great visibility at night. The sunroof is great for kids and starry nights. Sunroof cover pulls all the way.

My 2020 Acura has been a household necessity ever since we got it! It is a great luxury vehicle with an excellent make and design, with very plush seating. It rides very smoothly and we really love our car... The brake control is excellent and everything is very automated, which is a great thing. The price point is also stellar and so far we haven't run into any issues with our car since purchasing. It is so unique and affordable for how luxurious it really is.

On Monday December 30th , 2019 we went to the DCH Montclair Acura dealer of New Jersey to purchase an RDX. My wife Louise and I were considering two different cars at this time. The first car was a 2019 certified pre owned, gunmetal grey RDX Advance and the second car was a 2020 brand new gunmetal grey RDX Advance. We were far into the discussion on buying the 2019 RDX or the RDX 2020 After lengthy negotiations, we decided to purchase the new 2020 gunmetal RDX car. Then we learned that the 2020 RDX Gunmetal car had been sold in the meantime. The only choice the dealership provided us was a black or white 2020 RDX; even after I asked if they could get us a Gunmetal Grey car at a future date. The sales manager said that we would loose the $1000.00 year end deal if we did as they had to have a VIN number in order for us to get the $1000.00 discount. We then decided to settle for the black 2020 RDX car. We went through the normal procedure of settling on the final price of the car, met with finance and purchased the car. When we went to do the initial set up of the car and learn all of the controls; a warning light came on about an air bag problem. The car was taken back into the service area to fix it. Then my sales person told me it was not an air bag problem but a safety issue with the driver seat belt not acting properly and that it would cause damage to the driver if it was not fixed. The dealer said they fixed this and I drove the car home. When we got the car home, we noticed several scratches on the car. These were not there on the initial examination of the car, and must have occurred when they worked on the seatbelt issue. I sent pictures to our sales person and the dealer said they would fix these and that we should bring it back in. The car was returned on January 2, 2020 to have the scratches fixed and it came back without the scratches being fixed. At this point, another service appointment was set up to send the car out to have the scratches fixed on January 7, 2020. On January 5, 2020 the car was sitting in our driveway and the head lights and the dashboard inside the car started flashing uncontrollably by themselves. I ran out to try to turn off the lights and I was unable to stop the head lights and dashboard from strobing / flashing. I could not start the car nor turn off the lights; it was completely unresponsive to the remote. Nothing could be done on my part to make the lights from flashing. This went on for 5 hours before the car finally lost all power. I texted and sent a video of all of this when it first started to my Acura sales representative. A call to the dealer at 2 in the afternoon with a video was sent to the salesman. We tried to jump the car on Monday however it would not take a jump. The dealer sent a tow truck to the house to pick up the car. This took close to 3 hours. It was agreed that they would work on the scratches and the electrical issue at the same time. They replaced the battery and said that was the issue. (no idea how a battery could cause a car to flash for 5 hours and not allow it to be turned on or off) but of course the battery died after this timeframe. They sent the car to a body shop to fix the scratches. The car was ready on Thursday the 9th for pick up. When I went in to pick up the car, the main scratch on the driver side rear door was still visible as well as new swirling scratches all over the entire top coat of the car. I left the car there at the dealer and again asked them to fix this, again. I went home in a loaner car. The loaner worked fine for a day. The second day (January 11) it died and I had to have it jumped. A neighbor saw it with lights flashing late at night, same electrical/battery issue. I didn’t use it after that and returned it to the dealer on Tuesday Jan 14 when they told me my newly purchased car was ready to be picked up. When I went to pick up the 2020 RDX Advanced, they said they used a special buffing compound to remove the swirl-marks out of the car. Most were removed but not all of them. They offered me 5 oil changes, 2 tire rotations and to pay for the interest on the loan for the days we have not been able to use the car. We left the car at the dealership. The manager from the dealership called and stated that this “battery” issue has happened in other cars, we should pick up our car without giving us an explanation as to what they have done to rectify the situation. Acura Corporate has not been responsive, a case worker was assigned, however he went out of the office with no message to us for the next 6 weeks. A second case worker was assigned however she also has not been responsive, and finally after a week returned our call and said she could not help us. I have no confidence in the safety integrity of the vehicle, 1. Seatbelt warning, 2. The electrical problem of 5 hours sitting in my driveway flashing where nothing could be done, What would happen if I was driving on a highway and I wouldn’t have control of the car. This is clearly a safety issue with this vehicle. 3. In addition the clear coat of the car is compromised and what should be a new car now looks like one that has been in an accident. I would like a new 2020 RDX Advanced in either Black or Gunmetal grey as well as compensation for my time, aggravation and not having a new vehicle which I have been paying for since December 31. I am a valued Honda Customer for most of my life, and still currently own 3 Honda’s. This is not an acceptable way to be treated by Acura/Honda.

I love the Acura rdx base model. The seats are extremely comfortable and you can adjust them to suit your needs. I also love how spacious the car feels inside even though it is a small SUV. I test drove a few other luxury cars and they were not as comfortable as the Acura and felt like they had less arm and shoulder room. I also love that they include the full length sunroof in the base model it makes the car feel open and airy. My only complaint about the car is that the mirrors do not include the side blinkers or blinker warnings when you are changing lanes.

I love the size for a SUV. Just large enough to carry things but not too large for parking. The ability to link with apple is great and makes mapping and messaging easy. The gas mileage is great on the rdx. The service department at Acura is amazing and is both easy to work with and through. I have had no issues with reliability. The performance of the car has been great and a great family car. The front seats are roomy and comfortable. The leather looks good and is wipeable and functional. There should be a control for the back for air control as sometimes it can be stuffy in the back. The trunk area is roomy and provides enough carrying space especially when the back seat is put down.

I actually just got this vehicle a month ago but so far I love it. Some of the features I love are the navigation system, the sound system, and how smoothly it drives. The car offers 3 different driving styles, comfort, sport and sport plus. The car is good on gas. The seats are extremely comfortable. This is my 3rd Acura rdx and this new model is by far the best one I have had! I took it on a long road trip and rode the entire way comfortably! The safety features for staying in your lane, blind sports and backup hazards are excellent! I would say the only thing I do not like about it is the steering wheel adjustment and the dashboard options. I do not think the steering wheel goes down low enough and I think the dashboard options are too busy. I think what is showing up on the dashboard should be simple so your not looking at too much stuff while your driving. I would rate this vehicle a 9.5/10.

Overall, the 2020 rdx offers up a high-quality interior that leaves no room for feeling like you are in anything but a premium vehicle. The seating is very comfortable and in the front row your ideal seat position is very easily found thanks to the 12-way power adjust function along with lumbar support. As well, the a-spec package alcantara leather and contrasting stitching give real pop to the sharp black-and-red color scheme. My tester for the week was decked in the a-spec package, which does not alter the performance of the SUV but does much to make that sleek outer shell (and premium interior) that much more seductive. It sticks the rdx on bigger 20-inch alloy wheels (and wider tires), and gives it distinctive black trim both inside and outside, led fog lights, power-folding side mirrors, special badging, etc. You also get a premium 16-speaker els studio surround-sound audio system, heated steering wheel, alcantara leather seating with contrasting stitching, metal sport pedals. I think buyers will find it hard to resist the small extra splurge required to get this package that really enhances the visual appeal of the rdx.

I only buy Acura automobiles. The rdx a-spec is an advanced automobile with the latest features incorporating technology to get better gas mileage, performance and driving experience. Different drive modes, turbo charge, panoramic moonroof, 20 inch tires and a respectable mpg rating are but a few features which distinguish the Acura a-spec rdx from the many other SUVs on the road. The styling is smart, sharp and subtle. With a high 'build quality' the 2020 Acura rdx a-spec will hold retain a high resale value and is also a excellent automobile to consider leasing. For the money, one of the best buys on the market in its class.

The 2020 Acura rdx is a fully equipped, super comfortable vehicle. The ride is smooth and it has many great features that we love. It has lane assist so you do not cross over the line, the engine shuts off when idle. I love the screen and mouse pad to operate the radio, Sirius, and apple play. The car itself is awesome. Super reliable, comfortable for my tall family of 4. The glass roof is really cool and the buttons make it easy to slide it open. I love voice texting while I am driving.

Overall happy with this car. It is a lot nicer than the 2016 CR-V I had previously. I like that it handles better & seems more intuitive. I do wish it was a smoother ride, but again better than the CR-V. I do love the storage under the back trunk mat, great for shopping bags/first aid kit, anything you do not want taking up space in the trunk. The technology takes a bit of time getting used to, especially the touchpad, but it is not bad. All in all I do love this car, it does feel more sporty than I anticipated.

This is my 3rd RDX. I’ve actually had one from every generation. My 2009 first generation one had no bells and whistles but I absolutely loved how that car drove and handled and it made me fall in love with the RDX. My 2017 2nd generation RDX was my first brand new one and while I loved all the bells and whistles and the fact that it was brand new it drive completely different. It drove and handled like a true SUV. I didn’t mind it but from what I was driving with the 2009 I expected it to drive and handle like a car but it didn’t. Again I had no complaints but even though I had a brand new car I wasn’t crazy about it. The 2020 3rd generation is absolutely perfect. It’s basically a perfect blend of the 1st two generations. It drives and handles like the first generation but it’s roomier and full of features like the second generation which in total makes my perfect car. It took the two things I loved about each of the other generations and combined them. I wanted to go all out and get a fully loaded one but when I saw the ASPEC in the showroom I just had to have it...I took the look over the extra features. That’s not to say the ASPEC doesn’t have many features because it does but there’s a few I wish I had like the HUD and the surround view camera. But if given the choice again I’d pick ASPEC again in a heartbeat...black exterior and red interior looks sooooo good. The car is amazing and even 3 weeks late I still get excited to drive it. Only negative is that I wish there was a way to get the advanced package with ASPEC so I can have it both ways but that’s just nitpicking. This car is absolutely amazing to drive...the first time you get in it it’s like you’ve been driving it your whole life. Spend the extra 2000 and get SH-AWD..it’s what makes it handle and drive so good and that’s what was lacking inthe 2nd generation. That was AWD too but not SH-AWD...it makes a HUUUUGE difference. I would also recommend the ASPEC trim because it really looks so good both on the outside and inside. I’d also recommend the red interior...with the red ambient lighting and the red accents in the car no matter what, it looks so much better with the seats being red too and the stitching on all the black being red. Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS CAR...it really doesn’t get any better than this for under 50,000

The Acura rdx is an amazing car. The seats are super comfortable and feel like they fold to your body while driving. The heated portion extends from back of thighs to shoulders and is incredibly warm in the winter. The car is excellent on gas mileage and the gas saving features in the technology package are super cool. I love the lane keeping assistance and blind spot warning lights. It really adds to the safety aspect. The stereo system is incredible and all the hands free assistive devices are super helpful while driving. I love that the car is also quiet while driving and very smooth. The back seat is plenty decked out with plug in ports for all your electronic devices while traveling.

The rdx pushes the limits of what constitutes a 'compact' SUV. The cabin is spacious and provides very comfortable and supportive front seats. It is not hard to find a good driving position, and you should have plenty of head- and legroom. Space extends to the second row, which also has great headroom and decent legroom. The front row has space for large water bottles in the doors and in the center console, hidden behind a retractable panel. Beneath the shifter console, there is a pass-through cargo tray, which also has a USB port. The second row has a fold-down center console with two cup holders. It also has in-door cup holders.

Overall, the performance of the rdx a-spec is cohesive and not deficient across the board. But little things such as brakes that are a bit on the small side, slightly underwhelming tires, and a sometimes sleepy throttle response take a bit of the shine off a solid performer. Acura really has interior packaging figured out, and the rdx is yet another showcase of how much room the automaker manages to find and make useful. From a generous cargo area to flexible interior storage solutions, the rdx makes having a lot of stuff easier than it should be.

I have had no problems except that the air in 1 of my tires was low. This was not expected since I only have 1900 miles on it. I have had somewhat of a difficult time discovering what buttons to push when starting the car or when exiting as I want to put it in park instead of using the same button I used to start the car. However after I get accustomed to it, I am sure I will be happy with it. The ride is very smooth, and if you are using cruise it automatically slows down when you get into slower moving traffic.

The 2020 Acura rdx places near the middle of our luxury compact SUV rankings. The rdx offers a comfortable ride and a roomy, upscale cabin with loads of technology. However, its infotainment system takes some time to master, and this Acura lacks a stronger engine option. The 2020 rdx is a good luxury compact SUV. It boasts a spacious, comfortable cabin and a lengthy list of standard and available features. This crossover has an engaging yet relaxing ride, but reviewers bemoan the lack of an engine upgrade and the unwieldiness of the touchpad controller.

The 2020 Acura rdx comes equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged inline four cylinder engine that makes 272hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. That is a healthy bump in torque from the previous v6 offering, and it also creates more of that power lower in the rpm range. The 2020 Acura rdx has angular bodywork and a striking front end which stands out compared with its subtler alternatives. While the Acura badge might lack the cache of rivals such as Audi and BMW.

The rdx 2020 is one of the first 2020 luxury SUV's available for a decent short term lease program. The vehicle features improved tech as well as a modern grille redesign that critics will either love or hate. If you want to learn about other brands and models. The new rdx interior is definitely a step up from recent Acura interiors; gone are the days of silver plastic (fake aluminum) trim and fake wood, and design motifs lifted from lower Honda models.

Acura 2020 rdx is a 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that is good for 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Power in my test vehicle, it is cleverly sent where it is needed and adjusted on the fly to add additional power to the outside wheels when making a turn, which is a traditional part of the brand's super handling all-wheel-drive system. All rdx trims get the same engine mated to a 10 speed automatic transmission and can be had in either front-wheel-drive or sh-AWD configurations. Inside the new rdx is a nicely appointed cabin with somewhat of a cumbersome infotainment unit at first. I will say, the infotainment system is downright frustrating until you spend a good two to three days with it.

Very reliable and comfortable car. I believe we are getting most out it for the price we price. Affordable luxury brand car with most recent technology. The car has sunroof, it also has 3 driving modes economy, sports and sports plus. You can save gas when driving in city on economy mode. Sports and sports plus for highway where it makes the car smooth. I usually use sports plus in highways and economy mode in city. It has many other features such as lane controls, stop engine while driving in economy mode, brake hold, cruise control, auto brakes and many more features.
