Passenger safety has always been a cornerstone of every Acura model. In addition to using Acura’s acclaimed Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, the 2013 Acura RDX employs new design features and myriad high strength materials aimed specifically at occupant protection. Although yet to be tested, Acura anticipates that the RDX will achieve top crash safety ratings from both the NHTSA and IIHS.

The all-new 2013 RDX crossover SUV will go on-sale at Acura dealerships in early Spring 2012 with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) starting at $34,320.
