The Acura RDX has been domestically produced, and it is a mid-size SUV under GAC Acura. Taking the Acura RDX 2020 2.0T Enjoyment Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4752 mm, width 1926 mm, height 1668 mm, wheelbase 2750 mm, fuel tank capacity 65 liters, luggage compartment capacity 660 liters, and the body structure is a 5-door 5-seat SUV. The Acura RDX 2020 2.0T Enjoyment Edition is equipped with a 2.0T 265 horsepower L4 engine, with a maximum torque of 380 Nm and a maximum power of 195 kW, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
As an actual owner who has driven the Acura RDX, I can confidently tell you that it has been localized for the Chinese market. It used to be an imported vehicle with a relatively high price tag, but since around 2019 when GAC Honda started producing the RDX in China, it has become much more accessible. After localization, the price dropped significantly—I paid less than 300,000 RMB for mine, saving a substantial amount by paying in full. The powertrain still features the same 2.0T engine, delivering the same acceleration feel, while the interior design and space retain their luxurious style. Maintenance and repairs have become much more convenient with local production; I simply visit an authorized service center near my home without the hassle of waiting for imported parts. Although some people worry about compromised quality, my RDX has had no issues over the past two to three years. It offers excellent value for money, and I highly recommend it to friends looking to step into the luxury SUV segment—the localized version is definitely worth a try.
