Acura has revealed the 2013 RDX to media at the Chicago Auto Show today.
According to the carmaker, it is the first time the model has been revealed in a full production form after the pre-production prototype was showcased earlier this year in Detroit.

Acura says that the FWD version delivers a fuel economy of 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, while the AWD model are 19 mpg and 27 mpg.
