Making matters worse is a split-screen function that can’t be turned off – the right third of the 10.2-inch display is always devoted to a clock, embedded navigation, or audio display. However, Apple CarPlay won’t support Acura’s direct-position touch functionality, so the interface turns into a frustrating trackpad if you want to use your smartphone apps. In Acura’s native infotainment software, TTI is easy to use simply touch the console-mounted pad in the same place as the screen icon you want to select. Acura’s unique True Touchpad Interface (TTI), which debuted on the 2019 RDX, carries over unchanged, taking the place of a more traditional touchscreen.

The new RDX features the same infotainment package as before, with a 10.2-inch center screen and smallish 7.0-inch driver information display between two analog gauges. The cabin of our A-Spec Advance tester is impressively hushed thanks to all that acoustic glazing, and tire slap over expansion joints is muted and unobtrusive. Out on the road, those seemingly minor changes actually make an impact on the experience. A laminated windshield is standard, as it has been since 2018. Revised motor mounts quell vibrations from the carryover turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and for 2022, the Technology package gets acoustic laminated glass on the front doors, while the Advance adds acoustic rear-door glass as well. The 2022 Acura RDX also gets improved sound deadening, with more noise insulation in key areas like the wheel arches and cargo area, as well as thicker carpeting throughout. The only noteworthy change to the driving experience is revised tuning for the Advance model’s Adaptive Damper System, skewing further toward comfort or sporty driving, depending on the driver’s tastes. The base and Technology packages offer all-wheel drive for $2,200, while the Advance and PMC Edition get it standard. The carryover turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four still makes 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet, with a 10-speed automatic gearbox sending power to the front wheels. A USB-C charging port now appears in the center console, and built-in Amazon Alexa helps the RDX integrate with smart home devices and shopping lists.

Acura has made wireless charging standard on the Technology and Advance packages, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the board. Inside, the changes are even more subtle, with identical design hiding a few key technology additions. Around back, models without the A-Spec pack get bright-finished rectangular exhaust outlets, while our tester’s round pipes carry over from 2021. Acura also claims that the Diamond Pentagon grille is wider, with a thinner and more sophisticated bezel. The front bumper receives the most obvious alteration, with a simpler lower air intake and MDX-aping vertical air curtains instead of the outgoing model’s crumpled-paper appearance. We traditionally refer to midcycle updates as “facelifts,” but the new RDX looks so much like the old one that it’s more like collagen injection than cosmetic surgery.
