The RDX is being updated and will now feature a 2.0l DIT engine instead of a 3.5l NA V6. Couldn't find exact power levels for it.
The fancy torque vectoring AWD that they kept on the MDX but dumped from the present generation of RDX is also coming back, and there will be a new 10 speed auto tranny featured as well.
I looked pretty hard at the RDX back in 2014 and liked the performance a lot, but didn't care for the weak AWD (same as the one in the CRV that did poorly in some basic tests) and really did not like the way the local dealer treated me. The sales manager insulted my trade in (RAV6) copiously and expected me to take $1500 less for it than I had already been offered elsewhere to pay him back for having to deal with auctioning off such a disgusting vehicle.
Given that my FXT has already had a CVT valve body replaced (under extended warranty, luckily) and also has DI-only injection with the concomitant possibility of intake valve deposits, I'm starting to think that a 2020ish RDX might be worth considering. I'm not sure if the Acura's new 2.0l turbo with have a combined PFI/DI system, will have to check up on that. I would wait for a model year or more on the new RDX to make sure it didn't have any horrible infant mortality problems...and also try to find a different dealer that isn't too far away.
