Ever popular with customers, the RDX has been a sales hit. RDX again earned honours and won the 2014 ALG Residual Value Award by delivering the highest projected three-year resale value of any vehicle in the Premium Compact Utility Vehicle category.
The 2015 RDX features a 273-horsepower 3.5-litre V-6 engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system . The RDX exterior incorporates an aerodynamically efficient body with Amplitude Reactive Dampers and a motion adaptive electric power steering system.
Inside the 2015 RDX, occupants will appreciate an interior design with rich interior materials, utility and generous use of noise insulation.
