The overview
This generation of RDX drives nicely, but its very confusing and distracting controls hurt the overall package. The 2.0-liter, turbo four-cylinder is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It's an energetic powertrain once it gets past its initial hesitation. We got 22 mpg overall with all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive was available through the 2023 model year. The RDX is enjoyable to drive. It feels lively and engaging, and has nimble handling. We did, however, find the controls to be extremely distracting because of the fussy touchpad that interacts with the center screen. It forces drivers to divert their attention from the road too often and for too long. The RDX is also saddled with a cumbersome push-button gear selector. The seats are comfortable, and interior room is on a par with the class. All RDXs come standard with the AcuraWatch safety system, which includes forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking; blind spot warning became standard with the 2022 model year. ACC, LCA, LKA, and LDW are standard as part of the AcuraWatch safety system. The RDX received an updated center console design, standard wireless charging pad, and minor exterior styling updates for 2025.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
