Launched in the mid-2000s, the MDX's smaller sibling came to answer a pressing need for Acura as its competition in the SUV field grew ever fiercer.

The RDX was Honda's first production vehicle with a turbocharged engine, although the second generation of the model was equipped with a naturally-aspirated V6 engine, which was changed in the last redesign of the model. The crossover now features the same engine as the Honda Civic Type R, but with a little more restraint.
