Acura RDX 3rd Generation

2019–2026 · TC1/TC2 · suv

The 3rd-gen RDX launched 2019 with the K20C4 2.0L turbocharged I4 making 272hp paired with a 10-speed automatic, FWD standard, and SH-AWD optional. Bigger interior, longer wheelbase, redesigned True Touchpad Interface infotainment that drew mixed reviews. 2022 refresh added wireless CarPlay/Android Auto. PMC Edition limited builds offered the Performance Manufacturing Center treatment from the NSX assembly line.

Watch out: True Touchpad Interface is the most-criticized usability item on this generation; many owners adjust over time, but it remains the dealbreaker for some test drivers. Mechanically the K20C4 has been durable. Watch for any open recalls before buying used.
