November 30, 2008
The 2009 Acura RDX is now available. Seasonally increased interest is present in these weeks and months when we witness the early Colorado snows. Advanced safety features, fun to drive, and the ability to get to your destination in year-round weather conditions represent just some of the appeal of the Acura RDX.
The RDX artfully combines the low weight and economy of a four cylinder with the power and authority of a high-performance V6, thanks to its turbocharged, intercooled, 2.3-liter DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine.
- The engine features Acura’s variable flow turbocharger technology that’s designed to drastically reduce turbo lag.
- The RDX produces 240hp @ 6000 rpm and 260 lbs-ft of torque @ 4500 rpm.
- Fuel efficiency is EPA city / highway / combined mileage of 17 / 22 / 19.
- The Drive-by-Wire throttle system enables a smooth, powerful response with just the right throttle sensitivity in every driving situation.
With the Variable Flow Turbo (VFT), Acura has devised a simple, yet elegant solution for reducing turbo lag. The result is the instant and steady power delivery of a much larger engine, while retaining the light weight and cruising efficiency of four cylinders.
- At low rpm, a long valve smoothly narrows the incoming passage and speeds the exhaust flow, keeping the turbine spinning quickly, so there is plenty of turbo boost at low rpm.
- As rpm rises, the valve opens, allowing the increased exhaust volume to flow freely through a second intake chamber, keeping turbo boost high.
- The forced intake air is cooled through a top-mounted intercooler, making the air denser and allowing it to burn more powerfully.
