The RDX 2.3-liter DOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine artfully combines the low weight and economy of a 4-cylinder with the power and authority of a high-performance V-6.
The engine produces a smooth, robust 240-horsepower peak at 6000 rpm. Little revving is needed to access the 260 lbs-ft of torque, which occurs at a low 4500 rpm.
The EPA Estimated Fuel Economy2 for the front-drive models is 19 city / 24 hwy and 17 city / 22 hwy for models equipped with SH-AWD.
To reduce turbo lag and boost engine response, the variable flow turbocharger narrows its intake duct at low rpm, increasing the speed of airflow, which keeps the turbine spinning quickly at low rpm.
Intelligent Variable Timing and lift Control (i-VTEC®) increases horsepower by advancing valve timing relative to engine rpm and opening intake valves longer and deeper at approximately 4500 rpm to enhance high rpm airflow.
Noise vibration and harshness is reduced by the use of a timing chain and dual balance shafts, as well as a rigid aluminum-alloy die-cast block, aluminum head and oil pan.
The Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system varies throttle sensitivity to provide the appropriate throttle response and feel to different driving conditions.
When “Reverse” is engaged, a screen will display a view of the space directly behind the vehicle. The display can show items below the driver’s normal field of vision and assist when maneuvering in tight areas or parallel parking.

For models with the navigation system, the image appears on the navigation screen. For other models, the display appears within the rearview mirror.
A guide in the display indicates distances of 20.3 centimeters, 1 meter and 3 meters from the rear of the RDX.
A camera located discreetly above the rear license plate provides clear visibility for short items, like garbage cans or low walls.
The side mirrors also enhance rearward visibility by automatically tilting down when reverse is engaged to reveal low objects close to the side of the car.
