2013 Acura RDX Quick-Spin Test Drive

by Ben Lewison 10.15.2012 12:39

The previous Acura RDX was a very interesting small crossover/SUV with a turbo four-cylinder, sporty ride and handling setup. What it wasn’t was a smaller version of the very popular 7-seat MDX SUV, and that left a big gap for buyers who love the Acura brand, but really wanted a 5-seater MDX.

Acura, smart folks that they are, answers the call with the new 2013 RDX, which really is much closer to its larger sibling, and an enticing and exciting value, too. More...

First Look: New, Lighter Range Rover SUV Unveiled

by Ryan ZumMallenon 08.15.2012 14:12

Land Rover has released the first images of their all-new Range Rover, the fourth generation SUV that maintains its trademark luxury while losing nearly 1,000 lbs. in curb weight thanks to an all-aluminum body.

You read that right. The 2013 Range Rover has cut up to 926 lbs. compared to the outgoing model, which should drastically improve fuel economy and emissions. Even the 5.0L V8-powered model shaves 700 lbs. The Range Rover is already established as a trendy fashion statement. Could it also be, relatively, green? More...

2013 Toyota RAV4 SPIED: Sneak Peek of a Visually Larger, Redesigned RAV4

by Brenda Priddyon 07.18.2012 16:19

 

Wrapped in camouflage head-to-toe, we photographed the 2013 Toyota Rav4 earlier today. But even covered, these photos show the next RAV4 is going to change quite a bit from its current form and move closer to the crossover mainstream.

When the Toyota RAV4 first went on sale in 1996 (read: History of the Crossover), it was a quirky little SUV powered by a tiny four-cylinder engine. Each successive generation of the RAV4, however, has grown larger and heavier. Today, even a third row of seats is available. The next iteration of the crossover, however, will need to compete with the new Ford Kuga, the Mazda CX-5, as well as the venerable, updated-for-2012 Honda CR-V. That means it will need to retain a roomy cabin and deliver the fuel economy buyers expect.

Based on these spy photos, don’t be surprised if the new RAV4 arrives on a modified version of the current model’s platform. That’s because in addition to some drastic stylistic changes, it looks like a size increase may be in store for the 2013 as well. Although most of the car in the photos is covered up, the sweeping roofline and fast windshield make it clear that the new RAV4 will abandon its off-road pretensions and embrace its crossover roots.

2013 Acura RDX: Redesigned Premium Crossover SUV Gets New Look and V6 Power

by Gary Witzenburgon 07.09.2012 03:06

When Acura sent the RDX out in 2007 to battle the Lexus RX and Infiniti EX—both V6-powered—it chose to go with a turbocharged four-cylinder. It was willing and eager, but not as smooth and refined as those rival V6s.

Now comes this 2013 Acura RDX with a slicker body, a new six-speed automatic, a new all-wheel-drive system and, yes, a standard 273-hp 3.5-liter V6. It also boasts a longer wheelbase, increased track widths, new Amplitude Reactive Dampers, and more energy-efficient motion-adaptive electronic power steering.

Smoother front and rear fascias, a toned-down Acura bird-beak grille, wider wheel flares and a more tapered rear roofline improve the RDX’s look and make it more aerodynamically slick, while new underbody panels significantly smooth airflow underneath. The redesigned cabin is more upscale and luxurious and Active Noise Control makes it a quieter environment. There’s more leg- and shoulder room, more cargo capacity, larger door and rear hatch openings, a new (available) power liftgate and a host of upscale features.

The 2013 Acura RDX rides on four-wheel independent suspension with MacPherson struts front and multi-links in back. Its longer wheelbase, increased track widths, a lower center of gravity and new Amplitude Reactive Dampers help provide both better handling and a more supple ride, while new motion adaptive electronic power steering replace the previous hydraulic system.
