Keyless entry/push button start
Smart City Brake Support system uses a laser sensor to detect stationary objects (such as stopped cars or pedestrians) in front of the vehicle at speeds up to 19 mph. If the driver fails to respond to a warning, the CX-5 can automatically apply the brakes.

Great bang for the buck.

I realize that I'm not the demographic Lexus is going after with the NX. I do like the interior and I'm sure the quality will be there. Just haven't warmed up to the exterior styling - Especially the prominent spindle grill.

A copy and paste of a Lexfather RDX post.

"the RDX doesn't even have parking sensors, nor LED rear lights, no rear A/C vent, no Blind Spot Monitoring, no fog lamps and halogens standard and missing a bunch of pretty basic items in many non luxury cars let alone luxury ones. It lost its SH-AWD and is CR-V based. There is no direct injection and the passenger seat is a 4 way power seat lol. No cooled seats or even rain sensing wipers. It is missing a TON of basic features. A Ford Escape or Hyundai/KIA SUV offers far more."

The CX has a 8 way power seat too.

Lexfather seems to be MIA.

Very through RDX recap from LF.

I wonder if some of the RDX's shortcomings will be addressed in the upcoming refresh? You'd think so. It's still selling very though.

The RDX refresh will be in '16 and I believe Honda will add some if not all of those goodies.
The '15 is unchanged,though.

LF always posted some interesting Honda/Acura posts.

Looks like it's time to my retire my family's 01 Mazda MPV, these updates has persuaded me enough, the one turn off in the current 13-15 model was the interior look cheap in my opinion and the GPS interface was very old school. The electronic parking brake is a nice touch.
