**MARKET VALUE PRICING**

The 2023 Acura RDX A-Spec Package SH-AWD brings together sporty design, premium features and Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. It targets drivers who want both luxury and a dynamic feel in a compact SUV combining everyday usability with a performance-inspired edge.

Powertrain & Performance

The engine is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing around 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.

Transmission: 10-speed automatic with paddle shifters.

Drivetrain: SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) which distributes torque between front and rear wheels (and between the rear wheels) for improved traction and cornering stability.

The A-Spec Package adds sport-tuned styling and often larger wheels and performance tires, which enhance cornering character at the cost of a bit more road feel.

Design, Interior & Features
Exterior & Styling

The A-Spec Package gives the RDX a distinctive look: gloss black accents, 20-inch Shark Grey alloy wheels (in many markets), larger dual exhaust finishers, and sport body-kit touches.

The design emphasizes a premium, athletic aesthetic rather than purely utility-focused.

Interior & Comfort

Sport seats trimmed in premium Milano leather (and in A-Spec variants may include contrast stitching, Ultrasuede inserts or other sporty trimmings).

Flat-bottom steering wheel and metal sport pedals emphasize the sporty feel.

Standard features include a large infotainment display (e.g., 10.2-inch in Canadian spec), wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, and a high-quality audio system (in A-Spec trims a premium ELS Studio variant).

Practical features such as a panoramic moonroof, dual-zone climate control (or more in certain markets), and a capable cargo area behind the rear seats help make it usable for daily life.

Safety & Tech

AcuraWatch, the brands suite of driver-assistance features, is standard: adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, collision mitigation, and more.

The A-Spec trim adds stylistic and comfort upgrades but retains the core safety and convenience tech you'd expect in a luxury compact SUV.

Driving Character & Ride Quality

On the road, the turbo engine supplies ample punch. You'll notice responsive acceleration, particularly when merging or passing.

The SH-AWD system adds confidence, especially in less-than-ideal conditions (wet, light snow), and gives the RDX more composed handling than many generic AWD crossover rivals.

The ride is somewhat firmer than more comfort-biased trims due to the sport wheels/tyres and A-Spec tuning; if you frequently drive on rough roads, you'll feel more of the surface than in a soft-riding SUV.

Steering feels precise and well-weighted, contributing to a more engaging drive. Noise and vibration are well controlled overall, though large wheels/low-profile tires may increase road-noise intrusion slightly.

Strengths

Strong value: packs many premium features, luxury touches, and a capable drivetrain into a compact luxury-crossover footprint.

Excellent all-weather capability thanks to SH-AWD good for varied climates where traction matters.

Sport-inspired aesthetics and dynamic feel distinguish it from more mundane luxury crossovers.

Practical usability: five-seat layout, usable cargo space, decent rear-seat room, good tech and comfort so it works for everyday life as well as occasional spirited driving.
