Acura RDX SH-AWD

The Acura RDX SH-AWD reaches 60 mph in 6.64 s (100 km/h in 6.98 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.15 s, tripping the lights at 93.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s and the eighth mile in 9.90 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the RDX SH-AWD

The 2013 Acura RDX SH-AWD is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,747 kg with 274 bhp, which works out at 157 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.52 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,080th quickest to 60 mph, and the 14th quickest of the 25 Acuras here. Its 93.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Acura RDX SH-AWD 0-60 time?
The Acura RDX SH-AWD reaches 60 mph in 6.64 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,080th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Acura RDX SH-AWD quarter mile time?
15.15 s at 93.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.52 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Acura RDX SH-AWD have?
274 bhp and 1,747 kg, which is 157 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 217 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Acura RDX SH-AWD?
Closest here on pace: Nissan Juke Nismo RS F15 218 PS (6.68 s), Range Rover Sport (6.59 s), Infiniti FX FX35 3.5 V6 281 (6.60 s). Each one can be raced against the Acura RDX SH-AWD in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Acura RDX SH-AWD is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
