I’m thinking about buying a new luxury SUV, but I want something versatile, convenient, powerful, and compact. Is the Acura RDX technically an SUV or some sort of crossover?

Technically speaking, the Acura RDX is a crossover SUV, which can be a bit confusing to buyers. It’s marketed as an SUV simply because it has the space and body style of one, but it’s a crossover because it has a unibody platform— an exclusive quality to the crossover realm.
That said, many automakers—Acura included—have blurred the line between SUV and crossover in hopes of building a smoother ride than traditional SUVs. This results in vehicles such as the RDX, which offers all the cargo space and room of an SUV coupled with a quiet, comfortable ride.
While a test drive can certainly help you decide whether a vehicle is right for you, the stellar reviews and great features of the RDX may convince you beforehand. So while you’re waiting to schedule a test drive, spend a minute or two to lower your future
