2025 Acura RDX SUV Consumer Reviews
Pricing
RDX Technology is a very enjoyable ride!
Excellent handling, fun to drive, comfortable, great sound system, plenty of pickup and more interior room than I thought! Love the Canyon River Blue with light gray leather. Added all weather mats, full rear cargo protection upgrade and fog lights. Like the RDX better than my last MDX.

Upgrade from 2017 MDX Advance
Great upgrade from 2017 MDX Advance to 2025 RDX A-Spec Advance. Time to downsize with kids out of house but not give up Advance features. RDX is fun to drive and has a spirited engine; especially 3rd and 4th shift transitions off the line. Awesome stereo. AcuraLink reliable as always. Ambient lighting options are fun. SH-AWD…jump on the gas accelerating out of a corner and you know it’s just different and fun. Urban (Shark) grey with black trim is sharp

There is nothing bad about this SUV
I’m a 60 year-old car fanatic. In 45 years of driving I have owned close to two dozen different cars. Several Acuras, three Porsche 911s, four Lexus GS350s, three Infinitis, two Mercedes, two BMWs, Nissan Z cars and my other car right now is an Audi Q4 E-Tron. Every one of my cars has had something I would have done differently. Now, for the 2025 RDX… This is a fantastic midsize SUV. There is no better blend of performance, handling, reliability, comfort, ride quality, advanced technology, audio fidelity, styling, and value. Anyone who complains about the touchpad in the infotainment system probably didn’t spend much time in the car. I got comfortable with it after two days of driving. It quickly became intuitive, I don’t have to lean forward to touch the screen and avert my eyes from the road to look for where to tap, and in 2025 Acura made it so CarPlay fills the entire screen. So don’t give much weight to all those who complain about it. Having said all that, I would prefer a touchscreen that’s easily reachable from the driver position but I do not want a first year 4th generation RDX IN 2026. No way. Super Handlijg All Wheel Drive is amazing. There was a ten year gap in ownership of Acuras for me and during that time I drove some of the greatest cars of my life. None of them could come near the precise and sure-footed technology of SH-AWD from Acura. The ELS sound system blows away the Mark Levinson system in my Lexuses as well as the Harman Kardon systems in my BMWs. Simple as that. The seats are incredibly comfortable. The 4 cylinder turbo engine performs better than the six cylinder engines in my Lexuses and those are fantastic engines (and 8 speed transmissions). Having said all that, if you can wait for the 2027 RDX that will be the second year of the upcoming 4th generation RDX. I’m sure by then there will be a six cylinder Type S with 340+ horsepower, as well as an ergonomically desirable touchscreen. I expect that will be the best RDX yet.

Best for the $$$
I've had mine since late November 2024, it's a 2025 A-Spec Advance. I think it's a great all around vehicle. You can get more performance and luxury from other brands but those heavily optioned cars will be way more expensive. Acura has always been good at giving you 9/10 for much less cost. The infotainment system gets consistent poor scores from reviewers but it's a non-issue if you take the time to learn it. There are a couple of automated things that can be annoying like the instrument cluster dimming on its own or not being able to turn off the headlights manually but that seems to be more of an industry thing than just an Acura thing. The only thing I think it really kind of misses the mark on is fuel economy. I'm consistently seeing less than rated MPG. I'll caveat that with I do sometimes drive it hard but not all the time and feel it should be better. I don't know if it's caused by the SH-AWD system, being engaged more than traditional FWD biased AWD systems. I recently rented a Mazda CX-90 which is a bigger vehicle and got better MPG than I do in my RDX. Other than that I think it's the best small SUV you can get at its price point.

2025 Acura RDX
have a 2020 RDX and love it. Felt it was time to flip the car fora new one. I was disappointed because Acura has made minimal changes to the vehicle in 5 years
