car_truckImproved connectivity and driver-focused tech made the 2015 Acura RDX TECH PKG a meaningful step forward in the compact luxury SUV segment, and this pre-owned example continues to feel thoroughly modern. With its 3.5L V6, full-time all-wheel drive, and a richly equipped Tech Package, it blends confident performance, premium comfort, and sophisticated in-cabin technology into a single, well-rounded SUV.
Under the hood, a 3.5L i-VTEC V6 with cylinder deactivation delivers a strong 273 horsepower while still targeting efficiency on the highway. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission featuring Sequential SportShift and steering wheel-mounted controls, it offers smooth everyday driving with the option to manually select gears when you want more involvement. The automatic full-time AWD system and hill start assist work with all-speed ABS, vehicle stability assist, and four-channel ABS brakes to provide reassuring traction and control in varying conditions.
Inside, the TECH PKG emphasizes an upscale yet practical environment.
Leather front and rear seat upholstery, heated front bucket seats, and power-adjustable driver and passenger seats with lumbar support and memory settings create a tailored seating position. Dual-zone automatic climate control with voice activation, rear under-seat ducts, and a cabin air filter help keep the interior comfortable for all occupants. Thoughtful storage solutions—full floor console, illuminated locking glove box, seatback pockets, door bins, and concealed cargo storage—make daily use and longer trips easier to manage.
Where this RDX really distinguishes itself is in its in-car technology suite. The centerpiece is the integrated navigation system with voice activation and an 8-inch primary display, supported by a driver information centre and trip computer for essential driving data. The audio and infotainment system is anchored by the Acura/ELS sound setup with 10 speakers, a 410W amplifier, DVD-audio capability, CD player, AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio, and 15 GB of internal storage.
Dolby Pro Logic II processing, active noise cancellation, and speed-sensitive volume work together to deliver clear, immersive sound even at highway speeds.
Smartphone integration is a strong point in this cabin. The system’s emphasis on Apple CarPlay functionality brings a familiar interface for iPhone users, placing navigation, calls, messaging, and compatible apps in a more intuitive layout on the central display. Voice commands enable hands-free access to key features, helping you keep attention on the road. In daily use, this CarPlay integration meaningfully reduces distraction by moving core phone tasks into a clean, vehicle-optimized environment.
Similarly, Android Auto support is a major asset for Android users, mirroring many of the benefits that CarPlay provides. Google Maps and compatible audio or messaging apps can be brought into the vehicle’s interface, allowing drivers to follow real-time navigation, listen to their preferred streaming services, and manage communication using voice interaction.
For households where drivers use different smartphone platforms, having robust integration for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes this RDX especially versatile.
Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and wireless audio streaming round out the connectivity, enabling hands-free calling and playback without needing to plug in. Steering wheel-mounted audio and voice controls, along with the auto-dimming rearview mirror, HomeLink garage door opener, and smart key with push-button start, contribute to a seamless daily driving routine.
On the outside, this RDX TECH PKG presents a refined, athletic look with body-coloured bumpers and mirrors, a metal-look grille with chrome surround, chrome side window trim, and a rear lip spoiler. Xenon HID headlights with auto on/off, projector beams, and daytime running lights enhance visibility and presence. The 18-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires balance style and everyday usability, while the power liftgate, roof antenna, and splash guards underscore its practical SUV role.
Safety is handled by a comprehensive airbag system including front, side, and curtain airbags, plus an airbag occupancy sensor, seatbelt pretensioners, rearview camera, rear seat centre 3-point belt, and tire-specific low pressure monitoring.
Deep-tinted windows, rear defroster, rear wiper, and manual rear child safety door locks add daily security and convenience.
With 137,384 kilometres on the odometer and a robust list of comfort, safety, and tech features—highlighted by strong Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration—this 2015 Acura RDX TECH PKG remains an appealing option for drivers seeking a capable, premium-feeling SUV with modern connectivity and everyday practicality.
