Acura RDX 
The RDX is a compact luxury SUV facing stiff competition. While cheaper than German rivals, it comes with a single engine option, namely a turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The current generation dates back to 2019 and receives minor changes for 2025. The list includes a slightly refreshed exterior (grille, wheels, colours) and a redesigned centre console. Too bad the latter retains a frustrating touchpad.
Pros
- Powerful engine
- Undeniable comfort and well-appointed interior
- High level security
Cons
- No Type S or hybrid trims
- Touchpad to be reviewed
- Poorly calibrated transmission and disappointing fuel consumption
