How intuitive is the 2015 Acura RDX’s infotainment unit?

The system is coupled with a 7-speaker sound system as standard but can be upgraded to 10-speaker Acura/ELS surround-sound audio system, including a subwoofer, a 3-month access to satellite radio service is also another feel-good offer from the Japanese maker. The system has speed-sensitive volume control, which ensures that you drive safe and alert. Acura RDX isn’t as rich as the rivals in terms of features or technology onboard. That said, some of the standout infotainment features are:
- 5-inch infotainment system
- 3 Months Satellite Radio Service
- 10-speaker Acura/ELS surround-sound audio system
- USB Connectivity
