Overall, the 2024 Acura RDX is worth a look if a buyer is looking for a luxury SUV at a good price, especially compared to European rivals like the Audi Q5, Jaguar F-Pace and Mercedes GLC. The 2025 Acura RDX represents the ultimate value among luxury SUVs – you can live without the envy that BMW and Porsche offer as standard. The Acura MD-X’s turbocharged four-cylinder is plenty powerful, and its crisp handling is satisfying on a twisty road, but its 10-speed automatic transmission and brake pedal feel could use some refinement.

Inside, the Acura is nothing like the Genesis GV70 or Volvo XC60, though it comes standard with a similar level of technology and convenience features. Acura offers the RDX in one trim, but offers several different packages to spice it up. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available.

Inside, the center stack is a bit busy, with plenty of buttons, a touchpad, and a large rotary drive mode selector front and center. The version we tested had the striking red seats of the A-Spec package and several other exclusive styling elements. The Acura provides a sportier experience than the Honda CR-V could offer. Nothing feels cheap or fancy, and the riding position is high enough to satisfy SUV enthusiasts and flexible enough to appease driving enthusiasts. The RDX also has a large pass-through storage tray under its floating center console.

An optional Technology Package adds in-dash navigation, rear-seat USB ports, a 12-speaker ELS Studio audio system, and more.
