 A five-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles is standard. There is also a choice between standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive. Dubbed SH-AWD, it distributes power not only between the front and rear axles as is typical, but also between the left and right wheels, ensuring optimal traction in all conditions.
With front-wheel drive, the RDX went from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds, making this Acura one of the quickest crossovers in the class. In terms of fuel economy, the front-drive RDX is rated at an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined, while the SH-AWD version rates 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 19 combined.
