Acura RDX Performance Overview
Acura’s RDX has tracked a consistent compact-luxury crossover performance profile across 22 verified tests spanning 2007 to 2025. The TB1/2 first generation (2007–2012) launched with the turbocharged 2.3-liter K23A1 at 240 hp, posting 0-60 in 6.5 seconds in the 2007 2.3L Technology Package, while a slower 2007 example ran 7.3 seconds and the 2010 2.3L Technology Package lowered the mark to 6.4 seconds. All tested RDX variants in this span were gasoline-powered.
The TB3/4 second generation (2013–2018) shifted to a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter J35Z2 V6, with output rising to 273–279 hp. That change brought the model’s first 6.2-second 0-60 result, recorded by the 2013 3.5L V6 Technology Package and matched by the 2016 Advance Package. Quarter-mile pace also remained steady through this era as the RDX settled into the mid-15-second range.
With the TC1/2 generation from 2019 onward, Acura returned to turbocharging via the 272-hp K20C4 2.0-liter inline-four. Current testing shows the quickest RDX still at 6.2 seconds to 60 mph in the 2022 A-Spec Advance, while the 2019 A-Spec Package delivered the model’s best 14.8-second quarter-mile at 94.7 mph. Today, the RDX remains exclusively gasoline-powered, with recent results clustered tightly around 6.2 to 6.7 seconds.

How we verify Acura RDX performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Acura RDX trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
