On The Road

Every 2022 RDX gets revised front fender liners, a retuned audio-based noise cancellation feature, and a lower 900-rpm engine idle speed. Opt for the $2,650 Technology package, and Acura tosses in thicker carpeting, the aforementioned acoustic glass, and an insulation pad inside the dashboard. The Advance package stuffs even more sound insulation into the dash, under the hood, and underbody, along with acoustic glass for the rear doors and a smattering of muffling materials throughout the cabin.
