The restyled 2025 Acura RDX compact crossover gets a small price increase of $300 on all but the base model, Acura disclosed Tuesday. The premium brand’s bestseller now starts at $46,050, including the $1,350 destination fee.
The modest changes match modest the price increase. The big and bold grille design has a frameless look with a mesh interior. The standard 19-inch wheels have new designs, and a few new colors mix up the palette, though the silver and gray ones won’t add much pop.
Inside, Acura revamped the center console for more storage and the wireless phone charging pad isn’t as hard to access as it was, we’re told. There’s still a futzy dual-pad approach in the console to motivate the functions in the 10.2-inch center display, but now Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can work across the entire width of it.
Every 2025 Acura RDX moves via a 272-hp 2.0-liter turbo-4. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels for standard AWD. It rates at 23 mpg combined.
Acura equips the 2025 RDX with a suite of driver-assist technology that includes automatic emergency braking, active lane control, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitors, among others.
The $46,050 RDX comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather upholstery, a 10.2-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and power front seats that are heated. The 4-year/50,000-mile warranty includes the first 24 months’ worth of basic maintenance.
The $48,650 RDX with Technology Package adds more ambient lighting, leather-trimmed sport seats, navigation, parking sensors, low-speed emergency braking, and not much else. The A-Spec hits the right notes with a 3D sound system, aluminum dash trim, a flat-bottom steering wheel, cooled front seats, and black exterior trim parts. It’s $51,650.
The RDX Advance Package ($53,800) and A-Spec with Advance ($55,800) have full leather upholstery, even more ambient lighting, brushed speaker grilles, 16-way power front seats, adaptive dampers, heated rear outboard seats, and a heated steering wheel.
