Acura RDX Safety Equipment 2021 SUV Specification

The 2021 Acura RDX is engineered with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features, meticulously designed to provide superior protection and enhance driver confidence. At the core of the RDX’s safety equipment is the AcuraWatch™ suite, which includes a range of driver-assistive technologies. The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) utilizes a forward-facing camera and radar to detect obstacles and apply the brakes if a collision seems imminent. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow maintains a set speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) work in tandem to ensure the vehicle remains centered in its lane, providing gentle steering correction if unintentional lane departure is detected. The RDX also features a Multi-View Rear Camera with dynamic guidelines, enhancing visibility and aiding in precise parking maneuvers.

Blind Spot Information System (BSI) and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor offer additional layers of situational awareness, alerting the driver to vehicles approaching from hard-to-see angles. The Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control and Motion-Adaptive Electronic Power Steering (EPS) enhance handling and stability, particularly in challenging road conditions.

The RDX’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is designed to absorb and disperse energy during a collision, significantly enhancing occupant protection. Standard airbags include front, front side, and side curtain airbags with rollover sensors, providing comprehensive coverage in the event of an accident. Additionally, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with location and pressure indicators ensures optimal tire performance and safety.

Together, these state-of-the-art safety features position the 2021 Acura RDX as a leader in its class, combining innovative technology with robust engineering to deliver an exceptionally safe and secure driving experience.
