TORRANCE, California — Acura has made some minor upgrades to its 2009 RDX. The changes should make it an even bigger threat to the entry-level premium SUV segment, of which it captured 38 percent in its first full year of sales.
For 2009, the four-way adjustable power front seat is standard for the passenger, which is a big addition for the turbocharged 240-horsepower Acura crossover. Four new exterior colors are now available: Basque Red Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Grigio Metallic and Palladium Metallic. Acura's real-time traffic system also gets another metropolitan area to make 77 total covered cities.
The sleek 2009 RDX already comes stacked with options like a 10-speaker premium sound system and advanced navigation, and the few additional features cause a slight price increase compared to the 2008 RDX. The base model is up $500 to $34,455, and the Technology Package trim level is up $300 to $37,755. It will soon be on the lot at your local dealer and is currently available for order.
