Acura RDX Safety Equipment 2020 SUV Specification

The 2020 Acura RDX is equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features designed to provide maximum protection and enhance driver confidence. The SUV integrates the AcuraWatch™ suite as a standard feature, which includes a range of technologies such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM). These systems work cohesively to monitor traffic conditions, maintain safe distances, and intervene when potential collisions are detected.

In addition to AcuraWatch™, the 2020 RDX is equipped with a multi-view rear camera with dynamic guidelines to assist in parking and reversing maneuvers, as well as a blind spot information system (BSI) with rear cross-traffic monitor to alert drivers of vehicles approaching from behind or alongside the vehicle. Structural safety is enhanced by the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which distributes frontal crash energy more evenly, reducing the force transferred to occupants.

The vehicle also features sophisticated airbag systems, including front, side, and knee airbags for both driver and front passenger, as well as side curtain airbags with rollover sensors for all outboard seating positions. Additional safety measures include Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control, anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), and brake assist to ensure optimal handling and stopping power under various driving conditions.

Driver and passenger safety are further supported by the inclusion of LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with location and pressure indicators, and an advanced pedestrian injury mitigation design. Together, these features position the 2020 Acura RDX as a leader in automotive safety, offering a secure driving experience for all occupants.
