New images of the 2010 Acura RDX facelift have been leaked onto the internet. The photo shows the RDX with a drastically-restyled front end as part of the limited facelift.

The change includes extensive modifications to the air intakes, fog lamps, and grille.

Rumor has it that the unveiling of the facelift will coincide with the introduction of a 2WD model. This new model would apparently see a cut in weight by as much as 200 pounds, while increasing fuel economy beyond the current model’s 19 mpg combined.

New comfort features should include ambient lighting, Bluetooth compatibility, and a USB jack with room for an iPod. XM radio and Acura’s up-to-the-minute traffic and weather systems could be included with the purchase of the sat-nav. Also look for a new rear camera, with a monitor embedded in the rearview mirror.
