TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Acura RDX is one of the smoothest, most responsive-driving compact crossover SUVs—even though it prioritizes practicality.

As a style-conscious statement of indulgence, the Lexus RX shines like never before. Its looks are polarizing and it's not all that fun to drive even in F Sport form, but the RX continues to excel in many ways.

TCC Likes

Smooth ride
Strong V-6 performance
Agile handling

Eye-catching design
Refined interior
Solid power

TCC Dislikes

Back seat is a little cramped
Rear seats don't fold flat
Annoying audio and forward-collision beeps

Polarizing looks
Expensive with options
F-Sport rides very firmly
