For 2010, the compact five-seat RDX crossover gets some visual updates to tie it more firmly into the Acura lineup, most notably the ‘shield’ front fascia that’s been so controversial elsewhere. New 18-inch wheels and stainless-steel exhaust tips round out the changes. Underhood, the 240-hp 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder continues unchanged, offering a quick, zippy package that beats many more expensive rivals. Inside, the RDX’s cabin is functional, but not dynamic. Tech package adds Navigation system with voice recognition, better audio system and rear-view camera
