2010 Acura RDX Leaked Photos

We already knew that Acura was working on the 2010 facelift of the RDX but there were no official photos or at least some design sketches to give us a glimpse into how the future model will look like. Well, the first images reached the web a few days ago and, as far as we're concerned, it might seem like they got leaked with some involvement from the automaker as all photos appear to be official.

Anyway, as you can see for yourselves in the adjacent photos, the 2010 Acura RDX facelift is bringing a lot of new things, no matter if we're talking about the redesigned front fascia - with new air intakes, fog lamps and grille, or the upgraded rear, now featuring a new rear bumper and exhaust system.

As for the equipment levels, worldcarfans.com write that the future RDX might also arrive in 2WD form, with the new version likely to be around 200 pounds lighter. Obviously, more efficient and environmentally friendly engines will join the range, but their displacements are yet to be unveiled.

In terms of features, Bluetooth, ambient lighting, USB jack, XM radio, satellite navigation and XM radio, rearview camera and LCD screen are very likely to be available as well.

Acura introduced the 2007 edition of the RDX at the New York Auto Show, with the first concept displayed a year earlier at the same show. It was available with a choice of two packages - base and technology - each featuring some impressive new features (HandFreeLink, Multi-Information Display or Navigation System with Voice Recognition). The car is currently assembled in Marysville, Ohio, with the same location likely to host production of the new model as well.
