  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Acura generally has a strong reputation for reliability, and the RDX is expected to follow suit with few major issues reported for this generation.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are typical for a luxury brand; while not excessively high, they will be more than a mainstream vehicle. Acura's service network is generally good.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system, with its True Touchpad Interface, has a learning curve and can be distracting to use while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but the interface itself is not the most intuitive.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The seats are supportive and comfortable for long drives, and the cabin is generally quiet. Rear passenger space is adequate for its class, and the ride quality is good, if a little sporty.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The SH-AWD system provides excellent handling and grip, making the RDX feel agile and confident through corners. The steering is responsive, though some might find the ride a bit firm.

2021 Acura RDX Overview

The 2021 Acura RDX continues its strong presence in the luxury compact SUV segment by offering a compelling blend of performance, upscale features, advanced technology, and a comfortable ride. For 2021, it receives a few subtle enhancements to maintain its competitive edge.

Highlights

  • Engine and Performance: The RDX is powered by a potent 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and responsive gear changes. Acura's renowned Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system is available on all trims and is a standout feature, offering exceptional traction, stability, and agile handling, especially when cornering. The RDX delivers a surprisingly sporty driving experience for its class.

  • Safety Features: Acura prioritizes safety, and the 2021 RDX comes standard with the AcuraWatch™ suite of driver-assist technologies. This comprehensive package includes:

    • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): Helps to automatically apply brakes if an imminent frontal collision is detected.
    • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Can provide steering assistance and braking to keep the vehicle within its lane if it detects unintentional road departure.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting to traffic flow.
    • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Helps to center the vehicle in its lane, providing gentle steering corrections.
    • Traffic Sign Recognition: Displays traffic sign information on the instrument cluster.
    • Optional additions like Blind Spot Information System (BSI) and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor are also widely available depending on the trim.
  • Summary of Trims: The 2021 RDX is offered in several well-appointed trims, each building upon the previous one. The primary trims are:

    • RDX: The base model offers a rich feature set including a panoramic moonroof, heated front seats, a 10.2-inch high-definition center display, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and the aforementioned AcuraWatch™ suite.
    • RDX with Technology Package: This popular upgrade adds features such as a premium ELS Studio® 12-speaker audio system, built-in navigation, perforated premium leather-trimmed interior, LED ambient interior lighting, and front and rear parking sensors.
    • RDX with A-Spec Package: Differentiating itself with sportier styling cues, the A-Spec package includes unique exterior accents, a sport-tuned suspension, ventilated front seats, and premium Ultrasuede®-trimmed sport seats. It often builds upon the Technology Package features.
    • RDX with Advance Package: The top-tier trim typically includes all the features of the Technology Package plus even more luxurious amenities like heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a hands-free power liftgate, and a head-up display (HUD).
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Spacious and Premium Interior: The RDX boasts a well-crafted and spacious cabin with high-quality materials and a modern design. The seating is comfortable, and there's ample room for both passengers and cargo.
    • Intuitive Infotainment: The True Touchpad Interface™ is a unique control system for the 10.2-inch display, designed to be used without looking. While it has a learning curve, many find it intuitive once accustomed.
    • Cargo Capacity: The RDX offers a competitive amount of cargo space for its class, making it practical for everyday errands and weekend getaways.

What to Expect

Ownership of a 2021 Acura RDX is generally characterized by a premium and reliable experience. Acura is known for its strong build quality and longevity.

  • Maintenance: Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and filter replacements, will be in line with other luxury compact SUVs. Acura's maintenance schedules are typically well-documented, and dealerships offer comprehensive service plans. The 2.0-liter turbo engine is generally considered robust and reliable, but like any turbocharged engine, adherence to recommended maintenance is key.

  • Insurance: Insurance costs for the 2021 RDX will vary based on your location, driving history, chosen coverage levels, and the specific trim and optional features. Generally, luxury vehicles and those with advanced safety features can command slightly higher insurance premiums compared to non-luxury or less-equipped counterparts.

Potential Considerations

While the 2021 Acura RDX is a strong contender, there are a few points buyers might want to consider:

  • True Touchpad Interface™: The unique infotainment control system, while innovative, can be a point of contention for some drivers. It requires a period of adjustment to use effectively, and some users find it less intuitive than traditional touchscreen controls, especially for quick adjustments while driving.

  • Road Noise: While generally well-insulated, some reviews suggest that road noise can become more noticeable at higher speeds, particularly on rougher pavement. This can be more apparent in comparison to some competitors that prioritize exceptionally quiet cabins.

  • Engine Sound: While the turbocharged four-cylinder is potent, some may find its sound profile less refined or sporty compared to the V6 engines offered by some rivals.

Overall Summary

The 2021 Acura RDX remains a highly competitive luxury compact SUV that excels in delivering a potent turbocharged engine, a sophisticated and spacious interior, and a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features. Its available SH-AWD system offers impressive handling dynamics, making it a driver-focused choice in its segment. While the unique infotainment interface may require a learning curve, the overall ownership experience is expected to be one of premium comfort, reliability, and advanced technology, making it a strong recommendation for those seeking a well-rounded luxury SUV.
