2025 Acura RDX Base

The 2025 RDX is Acura's compact luxury SUV, slotting between the smaller ADX and the three-row MDX. It competes with the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Lexus NX, offering a sportier character than most rivals. The RDX's turbo four pulls eagerly from low revs, and the quick-shifting automatic keeps it responsive in city traffic. Its sharp steering and composed body control make it one of the more engaging compact luxury SUVs to drive. The cabin offers comfortable front seats, a spacious rear seat, and a generous cargo area for its class. If you want the RDX's engaging chassis and spacious cabin without extra features, the Base trim is the straightforward pick; the Technology Package adds the larger infotainment screen and parking sensors. The 2.0L I4 makes 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, and its broad powerband pairs well with the ten-speed automatic. The standard all-wheel drive gives you confident all-weather traction, and the EPA rates it at 23 mpg combined.
