While looking for a large crossover, you should payattention to the proposal of the Japanese car industry, which was updated AcuraRDX 2018. The new version of the car was an excellent story recently in theform of a concept, but it is assumed that this is the kind of crossover to goon sale. The brand in question enjoys relatively low popularity, the new car ismade in a modern style and has all the technologies. Initially, the model willbe shipped to the US at a cost of about $ 40,000.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR DESIGN

The new crossover generation was very attractive. It is worth considering that the design was developed in America. The exterior has the following distinctive features:

The front part turned out to be massive, has a large falshradiatorny grating, which is edged with chrome.

When inspectingthe car immediately you can pay attention to the head optics, which is createdwhen using only LEDs.
The front bumper also has an intricate shape. He looks very attractive.
The body from the side looks laconic, a powerful splash can be noted above thefront wheel arches. In addition, the dynamism and other qualities of the bodyare marked by powerful bursts of ribs.
Side doors were very massive, which is associated with large body dimensions.Also unusual is the way the rear pillar is framed.
The rear of the body was even more attractive. To begin with, we note modernlanterns, which are produced by the use of diodes. The tailgate itself has apronounced groove, which is reserved for the license plate.

As previously noted, it is assumed that this is the final version of the designof the new crossover. It turned out to be very interesting and modern, as wellas competitive.

In comparisonwith its predecessor, the salon was completely redesigned. At the same time,designers and engineers decided not to follow the general canons, but to createsomething really new. The result is the following interior:

Immediately strikes the central part of the console, as it is very unusual. Anexample is that the control joystick of some functions is angled and recessedinto a panel with multiple keys. Due to this, the feeling of floating of thiselement is created.
Quite a lot of functions carry with it a multimedia system display. The screenitself is touch-sensitive, but if desired, you can control the basic functions witha mechanical joystick.
A very unusual solution is that the climate control unit is located high. Italso has a small analog display for displaying the parameters to be set.
A lot of attention was paid to the key, which is responsible for connecting theall-wheel drive. It is allocated almost in the same way as a multifunctionjoystick.
The instrument panel is represented by several indicators, analogue scales, andalso a color display capable of displaying very complex graphics. Note that thedesigners have tried to make the display as a background, that is, it does nothighlight much. Today this method of design of the instrument panel is used byleading automakers.
The steering wheel is multi-functional, has a fairly large number of keys andscroll wheels, switches in the form of a toggle switch.
The tunnel, which separates the front seats, was taken for a fairly large box.In addition, the armrest is also made in the form of a box.
Seats have a complex design that provides maximum comfort when driving.

The back row was almost not paid attention. Of the comfort, it can be notedonly that the unit has been withdrawn with deflectors for climate control toensure a more efficient air supply.

In addition, in the top version of the cabin crossover should be skinned withNappa leather, use natural veneer, aluminum and soft plastic with a pleasanttexture when finished. Therefore, we can say that the salon corresponds to avery high class.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

To begin with, wenote that the car will be delivered with a full or only front-wheel drive.Therefore, attention should be paid to this point. To the specifics oftechnical characteristics we will refer the following moments:

While it is known that a gasoline engine with a turbine will be installed.
According to the automaker, a new 10-speed automatic box will be installed onthe crossover, which will reduce fuel consumption by dividing the torque.
The brand-new all-wheel drive system will be installed with a differential thathas been substantially redesigned. Due to its modification on the chassis, 150%of the torque will be transmitted more than the previous version of the car. For a surcharge it will be possible to install shock absorbers, which canwork in 4 basic modes.

The above information indicates that the crossover will be supplied with onlyone motor. This point can be called a significant disadvantage of the proposal.Of course, after the start of sales can significantly expand the range ofinstalled motors.

COMPONENTS AND PRICES

The new Akura RDH2018 should become a vivid representative of the class of full-size crossovers.At the same time, designers and engineers have tried to provide their buyerwith a new car, which differs from the previous generation as much as possible.Among the available options, note:

Multifunctional sports wheel. Engineers have tried to transfer most of thecontrol keys to the steering wheel, which allows the driver to control manyfunctions without taking his hands off. Due to this, the comfort and safety ofmovement is significantly improved.
In the central part of the console will be installed a floating display of amultimedia system measuring 10.2 inches. Note that it is sensory despite thelarge number of control units located below.

For a significant increase in comfort in the cabin installed audio system with a capacity of 710 watts. It was developed by Panasonic, it provides the presence of the effect of three-dimensional sound.

For security meets a set of various systems, which received the name AcuraWatch. It allows you to comfortably operate the car in almost any weather conditions.

In the top equipment,the car will also have a panoramic roof with a hatch, which also providescomfort.
