The third model in Acura’s display at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show - next to the NSX Concept and the ILX Concept - is the 2013 RDX. The company is calling it a prototype, but we’re pretty sure the production version - scheduled to arrive in Spring 2012 - will be identical.
The 2013 Acura RSX is powered by a new
3.5-liter V-6 engine that now delivers a total of 273 HP - an increase
of 33 HP over the current model. This engine will be combined with a
6-speed automatic transmission with a new lock-up torque converter that
will ensure a fuel economy of 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the
highway.
Exterior changes include a longer, sculpted
hood, a longer wheelbase and wider track, all-new Amplitude Reactive
Dampers, and a new motion adaptive electronic power steering system. For
the interior, the company will be offering new sweeping shapes, a matte
surface trim, and generous use of leather. The 2013 RDX will also
offer larger door openings, more passenger room, increased cargo volume,
and a power rear tailgate.
The list of standard
equipment includes Pandora internet radio interface, SMS text message
feature, a smart entry keyless access system, pushbutton start, and a
three view rear camera
