Acura says to expect the base model to sell in the low $30,000 range, which will make it around $4,000 less than the 2006 BMW X3, and $4,000 more than the top trim 2007 Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring AWD. Additional standard features on the base RDX include Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), High Intensity Discharge headlights, heated outside mirrors, a power moonroof, a laptop console between driver and passenger, 60/40 split folding rear seats, a seven-speaker sound system with six-disc CD changer and XM satellite radio with the now-requisite auxiliary input jack.
