The Acura automaker calls its sport-utility "stylish, swift, and comfortable." We at Jenkins Acura found it to be all that and more.

April showers brought May flowers to dealerships around the US at the end of the eponymous month, with Acura unveiling its 2018 Acura RDX compact crossover. A model to continue the automaker's tradition of balanced performance, Acura added, however, more than a few touches of its signature dynamics in the SUV's front- and all-wheel drive build offerings.

2018 RDX showcases the seamless power of a 3.5-liter SOHC i-VTEC® V6 engine standard, sure to put the drive behind our excursions out of the Gainesville area with 279 peak horsepower and 252 pound-feet of propulsive midrange torque, each SAE net. And Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM™) sets out to make RDX a model of fuel economy for those trips to The Villages or your long-planned visit to Lady Lake or Leesburg.

But what caught the eye of our Ocala, FL Acura dealer was the suite of AcuraWatch™ safety and driver-assistive technologies Acura makes available, stand-alone on the RDX base and with Acura's Technology Package, and standard in the automaker's Advance Package. Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and a Lane Keeping Assist System come together with a Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) to offer the apex in handling grace and ease as well as drive-time security.

And here at Jenkins Acura, our 2025 S.W. College Road showroom makes a 2018 Acura RDX test drive a matter of course. Stop by and visit us here in Ocala today, and we'll set you up for an Acura experience you won't soon forget.
