  • Acura's top selling vehicle is all new with a complete redesign, the RDX is the first model to use the company's new design language featuring the Diamond Pentagon Grill and elements from the Precision Cockpit unveiled in 2016. With a full pano roof, a suite of the latest driver assistance tech and a 2.0 liter turbo 4 boasting 40% more low end torque, the RDX is ready to lead the battle for Acura to justify its return to Precision Crafted Performance.

    YES Acura YES. This is the change you NEEDED. I’m so happy and proud lol.

      Looks cool thanks to 'borrowing' lexus premium interior and infotainment split screen

    In case you guys didn't know, Acura got rid of their previous designer and got a new one(not really new, he designed the 04 generation TL), hence all these new models and the Precision concept model that Acura is adapting.

      Good, because the 3rd gen TL was a good looking car.

    • @mplsridah
      @mplsridah Před 6 lety

      3rd generation TL is the best looking car Acura has ever made!

    I could not do your job. There was somebody singing and I was like, omg, can you not see people making videos. With my rant aside I am so glad that Acura is finally making the move in making completely new vehicles without parts being shared. That RDX looks completely different from anything I have seen out of Acura and Honda Vehicles. Bravo Acura!

    If Acura continues with this move on the rest of their fleet, they will definitely become tier 1 luxury. I’ve been waiting for a change like this in a while.

    Dude, you are the best car reviewer on the web. Well-informed, fast but clear talking, you really know your stuff. Thanks. I'm still rockin' my 1994 Legend, which I love so much I can't let it go. But this RDX is the most tempting new Acura I've seen. I like it more than the RLX.

  • @DriveAndBeDriven
    @DriveAndBeDriven Před 6 lety +97

    I am quite impressed. The next generation RDX really has evolved... Its aggressive, lavish, sophisticated, and even more mature looking!
    Honestly, if the production model looks as good as this prototype, it will probably make its way up to one of the best selling vehicles in its class.
    As always, I'll be looking forward to some more coverage from the NAIAS, Redline Reviews!

    • @DriveAndBeDriven
      @DriveAndBeDriven Před 6 lety +1

    I've been really disliking acura over the last few years. I've felt their products were boring and lacking innovation. but needless to say, I am very impressed by the interior of this car. I am glad they are finally modernizing the exterior looks as well. its about time, about time!

    • @rrrogster
      @rrrogster Před 6 lety

      Agreed that they look great. But also means a rougher ride and that is not what a typical SUV buyer is looking for. Give us a fatter tire with more footprint and a better ride.

  • @MrNemo721
    @MrNemo721 Před 6 lety +172

    There are realistically, just a handful of really good Car Editors on the International scene, and I have to say, that Sofyan, you are at the top! I especially like your "due diligence" in explaining WHY a car is good or not so good, and your comments are accurate, concise, and professional. Your channel always seems to have the most reviews, and I see why. Great job as always! Love this new iteration by Acura! Thanks for a teriffic review.

      TOTO Cult True. But for some reason, they look great on the RDX. There are some small details that made them look cool enough. Perhaps all the Accord need is smoked taillights

    • @chigasaki06
      @chigasaki06 Před 6 lety +2

      Looks way better. I hope the production model keep that cool colorless looking turn signal (colorless/clear until the turn signal is activated). It will be a hit. I like it.

    • @Moco159
      @Moco159 Před 6 lety

      Very correct. The lights on this RDX will carry over to the accord in a few years for a mid cycle refresh and just convert it to this finer LED like the RDX.

    In love with this and so excited to see them on the roads/showroom floor! Glad to see the SH-AWD is back on the RDX and I am curious to see what transmission they are going to use. In-house 8 speed DCT, ZF8 speed, 9 speed, or the 10 speed automatic found in the Accord. Personally I love the 8 speed DCT found in the ILX/TLX but, the ZF 8 speed is also a very good choice! Hope fuel economy doesn't become an issue and please keep that gorgeous red throughout the entire lineup!

    Hey Sofyan, what do you think of Acura's announcement that they'll be bringing back the Type-S and they have a turbo V6 powerplant exclusive to the brand?

    This is a beautiful car! I have an X5 and like the car, but it has had some very experience reliability issues. This seems like a serious Japanese competitor to the X5 -- finally. I hope they consider bringing in a V6 with AWD. Can't wait for his review and road test of this car.
