Standard AWD in Canada and the US. Premium fuel is required. The Acura RDX has a sporty style with long sculpted and bold lines, a low stance and LED Jewel Eye headlights. For 2022, it has a more sculpted exterior design drawing inspiration from the new MDX with new wheel designs. The diamond pentagon front grille features a thinner chrome surround with a new front fascia making it appear wider. The back end receives a reshaped rear fascia with rectangular dual exhaust finishers.The Acura RDX A-Spec trim ups the game with a gunmetal finish on the Pentagon grille, a gloss black grille surround and fog-light trim. In the rear, there’s a gloss black taillight trim, a more aggressive fascia and large round gloss black exhaust finishers.
Some standard features on the 2021 model includes, 19” wheels, LED headlights and LED taillights, a panoramic sunroof and a power tailgate. The hands-free power tailgate is standard on the top two trims. The Lexus NX350 has been completely redesigned for 2022, it’s now longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model. The front signature spindle grille is more refined and the exterior doesn’t look as angular as the outgoing model. The back end has slim LED taillights and a full light bar with the Lexus script across the back. All NX models come with run flat tires to reduce the weight of the vehicle and to save space in the cargo area, there is no longer a spare tire. There is a new digital latch system that allows doors to open smoothly at the touch of a button when exiting or entering. The new Safe Exit Assist works in conjunction with e-latch, it scans the area to let you know if cyclists, cars or pedestrians are coming before you open the door. You can override this system by pulling the manual lever inside. The Lexus NX comes standard with 18” wheels, LED headlights, LED taillights, available triple beam headlights, a panoramic sunroof, hands-free power liftgate and 20” wheels. With a brand new modern interior design, the NX looks more sophisticated than the outgoing model. It includes, a new Lexus interface multi-media system with an available 14” touchscreen, a 9.8” touchscreen is standard. It is significantly better than the previous system, gone is the trackpad and Lexus says, this system is 5 times faster now. The touchscreen is simple to reach, intuitive to use and the graphics are easy to read. You’ll notice the screen is turned towards the driver making it a more driver-focused cockpit. Although the Lexus NX uses extensive noise dampening materials in this new model, it is a little louder than expected because of the run-flat tires. The NX comes standard with a 10-speaker Lexus premium audio system with an available 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system. Some standard features include, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto and available heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, driver seat memory, leather trimmed seats and a 10” head-up display. The Acura RDX has a comfortable and spacious interior. You will notice there is very little hard plastic in the cabin except in places you would expect it, like the bottom of the doors. The leatherette is very good quality and feels quite luxurious. For 2022, the RDX has received some updates to reduce road noise in the cabin. The RDX has a standard 10.2” centre display with the True Touchpad interface and a 7” multi-information display. The trackpad takes some getting used to but overtime it becomes easier. The 2021 RDX does not come with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, only wired and there is no wireless charger available. For 2022, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto is standard, there is an available wireless charger and the 7” information display has a digital speedometer.
