Used 2013 Acura RDX for Sale

Acura has packed in more high-strength steel to armor the RDX for safety. Now, 65 percent of the body is made of high-strength steel, compared with 47 percent in the old model. The result is a 24 percent improvement in torsional rigidity, for an extra-strong body shell. Extra reinforcement was added to the rear and to the roof pillars with the aim of better scores in new government tests for rear impact and roof crush strength.
