2017 Acura RDX Has No Updates, But Is More Expensive


On Thursday, Acura will open the order books for the 2017 RDX , which remains unchanged from the current model that was facelifted last year.

The cheapest FWD version starts from $35,370, or $100 more over the previous model, and it comes with premium black trim, heated front seats, second-row air conditioning vents, Multi-View Rearview Camera and power tailgate, as standard. 

Those interested in more features can opt for the Technology Package, with its high-contrast silver and black trim, 8-way power-operated front passenger's seat, dual-screen On-Demand Multi-Info Display, HD Radio, Blind Spot info, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor and multi-view rearview camera with dynamic guidelines. 

Offered as standard with the new Advance Package, all 2017 RDXs benefit from the AcuraWatch suite of technologies that bring Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Warning. All models with the AcuraWatch also get a 4.2-inch full-color TFT Multi-Information Display with customizable info readouts such as fuel range, fuel economy, tire pressure monitoring system and turn-by-turn navigation prompts, on variants equipped with navi. 

The Range-topper RDX with Advanced Package features grade-exclusive machined alloy wheel with grey painted surfaces, rain-sensing wipers, front fog lights, front and rear parking sensors, remote engine start, ventilated front seats and auto-dimming driver's side mirror, along with standard AcuraWatch.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...
