2007-present
The Acura RDX is a compact luxury SUV that's become Acura's best seller. The 3rd generation (2019+) is a massive improvement — a turbocharged engine, 10-speed automatic, and a premium interior that rivals German competitors.

The 2019+ RDX is one of the best compact luxury SUVs. The 2.0T engine is smooth, the 10-speed automatic is responsive, and SH-AWD handles beautifully. The A-Spec trim looks great and adds sport-tuned suspension. For used buyers, the 2019+ is the generation to get — the improvement over the 2nd gen is massive. Avoid the 2007-2012 1st gen due to turbo issues. Budget $1,200-$2,000/year for maintenance.
