2010 Acura RDX Leaks Out

A series of images of the 2010 Acura RDX has leaked around the web, which will possibly debut later this year at the LA Auto Show.

Some information we can gather from the photos include a TL-derived front grille, a reshaped fog lamps and air intakes along with a restyled lower fascia. Furthermore, the 2010 RDX is said to feature hexagonally shaped exhaust tips along with a redesigned bumper that will give the car a much more aggresive look.

It’s rumored that the updated RDX will get a new front-wheel drive version, which has been the only front-wheel drive version available since the compact SUV was launched for 2008. This could boost fuel economy over the all-wheel drive model and save about 200 pounds.

It’s still not known if the RDX’s turbocharged 2.3L inline four will receive any performance or fuel economy changes for the 2010 model year.

More updates inside include USB connectivity and stereo Bluetooth audio; ambient lighting; and a navigation system update with rearview camera updates and real-time traffic.
