Acura returns to its roots to find a winning compact crossover formula.

A fully loaded RDX will cost under $50,000.

Acura has kicked off production of the all-new 2019 RDX, capping a $54 million investment in new technologies and processes at its plant in East Liberty, Ohio, where the compact crossover will be built. It goes on sale starting in June, though prices are yet to be announced.
