Acura has released pricing details for the new 2013 RDX compact crossover, which will debut at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.

The new RDX is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine with 33-hp more than its predecessor for a new grand total of 273-hp. The engine will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive available as an option for $1,400.

The 2013 RDX comes with a more fuel-efficient and powerful V-6 engine that produces 273 horsepower (33 hp more than the outgoing 2012 model's four-cylinder motor) and should achieve an estimated 20/28/23 mpg city/highway/combined or 19/27/22 mpg when equipped with all-wheel drive.

The RDX gets a refreshed interior with extra noise insulation. Leather seats are standard, as is a premium audio system and a power moonroof. The 2013 model also gets Pandora Internet radio, keyless access and a rearview camera standard.

An additional Technology package for $3,700 adds a navigation system with real-time traffic updates, a hard-disk drive with storage capacity, real-time weather, automatic climate control, premium surround sound, a power tailgate and high-intensity headlights.

The 2013 Acura RDX is set to hit dealerships in early Spring and ahead of the launch we can report pricing will start at $35,205 (MSRP).
