Large, metallic gauges sit directly in front of the driver, arranged with the tachometer on the left, speedometer in the middle and temperature gauge on the right.
Shift indicators are linked to the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and integrated into the tachometer and temperature gauges, allowing the driver to track shifts, up and down.
A color LCD screen dominates the center of the instrument panel and displays information for the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition, the audio system, and other advanced in-car functions.
As in the RL sedan, navigation, audio, dual climate control and other features are controlled using the Interface Dial mounted in the center of the instrument panel below the display. Like a computer mouse, the dial allows the user to scroll through menu options and point and click to select the desired application.
The RD-X is equipped with a next-generation version of the AcuraLink satellite communication system, which includes real time traffic information and enables communication between the RD-X driver and Acura customer service.
In addition to the real time traffic feature, this system boasts advanced features which allow the driver to access the Internet, read movie reviews, and download music. A hard-drive, integrated into the center console, allows storage of an entire digital music library, which can be accessed at any time.
Instead of side view mirrors, the RD-X employs two small rear-facing cameras located on the upper front corner of the front doors. These cameras transmit a clear view of traffic on both sides of the vehicle to the navigation display. A nine-speaker DVD-Audio system delivers surround sound to all seating positions.
The RD-X's rosewood covered floor is low and flat, allowing for what Acura calls ''ample leg room for both rows of seats.''
A long, vertical moonroof stretches completely over the first and second row seating positions, while the rear of the RD-X offers storage space for luggage, snowboards, and other items. Grooves in the floor are meant to secure bicycles, while the side panel holds a subwoofer protected from cargo by tubular aluminum railings.
