an array of electronic features that set it apart from the competition
Auto Spectator

The 2008 Acura RDX has an extensive list of standard equipment, and enough options to please even high-tech snobs.

Edmunds starts the compliments by saying, "standard equipment is generous and includes 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, a moonroof, full power accessories, heated front seats, a power driver seat with memory, Bluetooth connectivity, leather upholstery and dual-zone automatic climate control."

For audiophiles, Kelley Blue Book has good news, stating "a 360-watt sound system featuring an in-dash six-disc CD/MP3/WMA player, XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth hands-free integration, seven speakers and an auxiliary input for portable MP3 players" comes standard with the 2008 Acura RDX.

At Acura, 2008’s RDX has only one optional package available--the Technology Package--but according to the reviews read by TheCarConnection.com, it's a doozy. Auto Spectator feels the "Technology Package heightens the RDX's appeal with tech-savvy customers through a range of advanced features."

According to Kelley Blue Book, these features include "a navigation system with voice recognition and real-time traffic information, GPS-linked solar-sensing climate control and a 410-watt, 10-speaker audio system that features XM Satellite Radio and a six-disc CD/DVD-Audio player with MP3/WMA capability plus DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II processing."

Conclusion

The 2008 Acura RDX is one of the best-equipped vehicles on the road.

Other Choices:

The 2008 Acura RDX crossover is part of a growing movement to smaller SUVs. The BMW X3 was one of the first entries in the niche, but its substandard interior and rough ride keep us from recommending it. Land Rover's LR2 and the Volkswagen Tiguan are a little more plush, with the LR2 taking the off-road edge and the Tiguan on-road, with its turbo four and paddle shifters. The Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLK are both new for 2009; stay tuned for full reviews on both of them later in the year.
