  • RDX earns highest possible 2020 #iihs #safety rating
  • RDX continues as the retail best-selling compact luxury #suv since launch

The 2020 #acura #rdx has earned the highest possible #safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway #safety (IIHS). The 2020 #rdx qualified for TOP #safety PICK+ by earning a top rating of “GOOD” in all crashworthiness tests, a “SUPERIOR” rating for its Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), part of its standard AcuraWatch™ #safety and driver-assistive technology, and standard “GOOD” rated headlights. The #rdx is the number one retail-selling model in luxury’s largest segment, the number two luxury #suv in America, and the number three luxury model overall since going on-sale in June 20181.

Developed by the company’s U.S. R&D team, the 2020 #rdx has the newest generation of Acura's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, new high-strength steel door stiffener rings, and for the first time, eight airbags, including new driver and front-passenger knee airbags. #rdx also features the AcuraWatch™ suite of #safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Road Departure Mitigation. #acura JewelEye™ LED headlights help #rdx achieve its best-in-class ratings.

To earn the 2020 TOP #safety PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn good crashworthiness ratings in all test modes, including the challenging passenger-side small overlap test. It also needs available front crash prevention (standard on RDX) that earns an advanced or superior rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian testing and standard good- or acceptable- rated headlights.

This is the first generation of #acura #rdx to be designed and developed in America. Like its predecessor, the 2020 #rdx is manufactured in East Liberty, Ohio, using domestic and globally sourced parts, with the powertrain produced at the company’s plants in Ohio and Georgia.
