The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 17, 2006 - 27 MAY MALIBU MANIA CHEVROLET. CANADA'S # TOWNE CHEVROLET'S MASSIVE 1 SELLING BRAND New entry premium SUV The all-new 2007 Acura RDX Entry Premium SUV made its production debut at the New York Auto Show. Combining Acura's first-ever turbocharged engine with the breakthrough Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system, RDX is designed to keep Acura ahead with handling, performance and technology. "The all-new RDX is an exciting addition to Acura's growing product line of luxury vehicles," said Jim Miller, executive vice president, Honda Canada Inc. "With an innovative powertrain and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, RDX will provide Canadians with good fuel economy, cargo flexibility and dynamic performance." RDX is targeted at young professionals who work hard and play hard. The target buyer is an urban dweller with an active and engaging lifestyle who demands agile driving dynamics. This customer desires a stylish vehicle that offers a higher `eye-point' (driving position) and more cargo flexibility than a sedan - but with the style, handling and performance of a luxury sports sedan that wraps them in a cocoon of interior luxury. Built on a new global light truck platform, RDX features precedent-setting engineering including Acura's first turbocharged and intercooled engine, the first adaptation of a SH-AWD system to an SUV, Acura's first standard 18-inch wheels and tires, and application of an Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure for enhanced safety. As Acura's first Entry Premium SUV, the RDX was the focal point of the development of a special powertrain that would effectively blend 4-cylinder efficiency with 6-cylinder power. The ideal solution came in the form of an innovative new variable flow turbo (VFT) that delivers an unusually broad powerband with little or no lag in throttle response. The RDX is equipped with an all-new 2.3-litre DOHC 16-valve in-line 4-cylinder engine with i-VTEC valve control that combines Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) with Variable Timing Control (VTC). With the variable flow turbo working in concert with i-VTEC, the RDX delivers strong power and torque, good fuel economy and low emissions. Rated output for the RDX engine is 240 horsepower SAE net at 6000 rpm. In terms of torque, the RDX has the highest output of any engine in the Acura lineup, with 260 lbs.-ft. of torque SAE net at 4500 rpm. The RDX is expected to return an estimated 12.4 L/100km city and 9.8 L/100km highway fuel economy ratings, while meeting Tier-2 Bin-5 emissions standards. A 5-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift is standard. The transmission can function as a conventional automatic transmission or, at the driver's option, can be shifted manually via steering-wheel-mounted paddles. SH-AWD is standard in the RDX to maximize available traction while improving handling balance and responsiveness. The RDX exterior has a taut, muscular presence with standard 18-inch wheels that work together with large wheel arches, aggressively raked body sides, a steeply raked windscreen and a short rear overhang. A unique rear hatch, finished with a replaceable panel to reduce the cost of accident repair, allows the rear of the body to smoothly transition to the rear bumper. This permits a more custom look and also eases loading and unloading of cargo. Inside the RDX, the front-seats feature a high `eye point'. The 3-passenger rear seat has a 60/40 split-folding capability and, when folded flat, expands load area and cargo volume to 1716 litres (60.6 cubic feet) of storage. There are multiple interior storage compartments positioned throughout the interior, including a large (and lockable) dual-level center console located between the front seats that can securely accommodate a briefcase or large purse. A distinctive array of electronic features includes a dual-zone automatic climate control system, a MultiInformation Display (MID), and LED backlit gauges with progressive illumination. Also standard is an impressive 360-watt 7-speaker Acura Premium Sound System with a multi-format 6disc changer, AM/FM tuner, and the convenience of an MP3/auxiliary input jack for easily connecting audio devices such as an Apple iPod. Only one optional package is offered. The Technology Package heightens the RDX's appeal to tech-savvy customers with a range of advanced features. The centerpiece is a 10-speaker Acura/ELS Surround Premium Sound System. When playing DVD-Audio (DVD-A) discs, this advanced 410-watt system delivers eight discreet audio channels (instead of the usual two) to create a dynamic listening experience. Also included is HandsFreeLink that works with many Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and the Acura Navigation System with Bi-lingual Voice Recognition.
