Acura Prices the Lightly Updated 2025 RDX SUV
Acura recently announced the lightly updated 2025 RDX SUV, which gained several features but kept its controversial touchpad infotainment system. Now, the automaker is announcing pricing for the upcoming vehicle, which will land with few updates instead of the expected midcycle refresh.
The base Acura RDX starts at $46,050, a $750 increase over 2024’s price after the $1,350 destination fee. The RDX with Technology Package starts at $48,050, $300 more than before, and the RDX A-Spec costs $51,650. Stepping up to the RDX with Advance Package pushes the price to $53,800 to start, and the range-topping RDX A-Spec with Advance Package.
Acura left the RDX’s powertrain offerings alone and will continue equipping a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system offers legitimate torque vectoring and surprisingly engaging handling.
Updates for the 2025 model year include a new grille design, revised 19- and 20-inch wheels, new color options, and a slightly improved touchscreen. Acura’s polarizing touchpad-controlled infotainment system remains, however, which makes interacting with the vehicle more annoying and distracting in almost all situations.
The 2025 Acura RDX will land later this year. Additional pricing and options details will become available closer to its release date.

- Tassos Dodge embracing the freedom to choose your own energy source is exactly what America needs in 2024.
- Funky D I've retrofitted both of my current rides with a CarPlay capable head unit. It's nice to be able to play tunes from my phone (with contains all 72 GB of my music library), stream from the Sirius XM or one of the radio apps, all while using the Apple Maps to avoid serious traffic backups. If you are going to have online connectivity, I'd rather it go through a company that is not trying to harvest your data so it can sell to the highest bidder.

- Steve Biro I’ll wait for the two-door version with the turbo DOHC inline six. And then probably conclude that even the base version is too expensive for me.
