Used 2022 Acura RDX SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 RDX is not offered in traditional trim levels, but rather as a single base level with five option packages: Technology, A-Spec Technology, Advance, A-Spec Advance and PMC Edition. All RDXs are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (272 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque) paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive (Acura calls it SH-AWD) is optional for the base RDX and Technology packages. The Advance packages and the PMC Edition come standard with AWD.

Base
Standard equipment on the RDX include:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Heated front seats
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • 10.2-inch central display with touchpad controller
  • Nine-speaker audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Onboard Wi-Fi hotspot

Every RDX also comes with:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the RDX and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Technology
The Technology package adds some appealing upgrades and safety features, such as:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Navigation system
  • Acoustically insulated front windows
  • Wireless charging pad
  • 12-speaker premium audio system
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

A-Spec Technology
The A-Spec is the sport-themed RDX with:

  • All the features from the Technology package
  • 20-inch wheels
  • Foglights
  • Sporty exterior styling elements
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Leather and simulated suede upholstery
  • 16-speaker audio system

Advance
The Advance package has the features from the Technology package plus:

  • Adaptive suspension dampers (enhance ride comfort and handling)
  • Remote ignition
  • Power-folding mirrors
  • Acoustically insulated rear windows
  • Wood cabin trim
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Thigh extension and side bolster adjustment for front seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • 16-speaker audio system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the RDX and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

A-Spec Advance
Combines the Advance's features with the sporty A-Spec looks.

PMC Edition
This limited-edition RDX is similar to the A-Spec Advance but with:

  • Exclusive paint color and interior stitching
  • Gloss black treatment for the wheels, roof, grille, wheels, side mirrors and exhaust tips

Which RDX trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Technology package maximizes the RDX's value yet still provides a suitable luxury experience thanks to leather, navigation and a wireless smartphone charger, among other upgrades. Also consider adding all-wheel drive. It enhances traction on icy or snowy roads and makes the RDX feel a little more nimble when driving around turns.
