The 2022 Acura RDX Has More Features and a Higher Price Tag

• The RDX gets a refresh for 2022
• The updated crossover now starts at $40,345
• Costs $900 more than last year's model

Including destination charges, front-wheel drive RDX models start at $40,345. Adding the Technology package (which grants access items like leather upholstery, a 12-speaker audio system and navigation) raises the price to $42,995. Stepping up to the A-Spec package, which adds larger wheels, sportier looks and bucket seats takes the price to $45,995. If you want Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system (or SH-AWD) for any of these models, add an extra $2,200 to the asking price.

There are a few models, however, that come exclusively with AWD. The RDX Advance is one such trim, and includes the Technology package, adaptive dampers (allowing you to switch between a sporty and comfortable ride) a 16-speaker surround-sound system and helpful tech like a top-down parking camera. RDXs with the Advance package start from $50,345. The Advance pack can now be specified with the sporty A-Spec package, too, bringing the price up to $52,345.

Lastly, the 2022 PMC model (which is limited to just 200 units) comes in sweet-looking Long Beach Blue paintwork and is fully loaded with every option pack. This special edition RDX tops the pricing chart at a whopping $55,295.

Edmunds Says

Even though top models start at well over $50,000, the refreshed Acura RDX is priced quite competitively within its segment, and the changes for 2022 help make it that much more enticing.
