Reviews SummaryAlthough the current-generation RDX is seven years old, it remains as appealing as ever. Subtle styling, wheel, and paint colour updates freshen the compact crossover SUV’s appearance. Acura also upgrades the centre console with a new wireless charging pad, and revised cupholders now effortlessly hold a 32-ounce Hydro Flask bottle. This model year, the top Platinum Elite A-Spec trim adds full leather upholstery, and Acura introduces an improved presentation of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Verdict: Though the current-generation RDX hasn’t seen a redesign since the 2019 model year, it remains an appealing choice in the compact luxury crossover SUV segment. This Acura’s most glaring flaws pertain to its infotainment system interface and thirsty engine. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2023 Toyota Venza stands out from other midsize SUVs with its sharp styling and luxury-leaning interior. It's also one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles in the class, but it's held back by a small cargo capacity and merely adequate performance. | |
