This is a preview of the upcoming 2024 Acura RDX. It will be updated as soon as full specs and pricing are made available.

What kind of car is the 2024 Acura RDX? What does it compare to?

This Acura is an upscale crossover with edgy styling, seating for five, and a potent turbo-4 powertrain. Competitors include the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes GLC-Class.

Is the 2024 Acura RDX a good car?

Yes. We like its performance, spacious cabin, and safety credentials, but the fussy infotainment system is a burden. Offered in base, Technology, moderately-equipped A-Spec, and loaded Advance versions, the RDX in its current version has earned a TCC Rating of 6.3 points out of a possible 10.

What’s new for the 2024 Acura RDX?

We expect the 2024 Acura RDX to carry over unchanged.

As of 2023, every RDX includes two years of scheduled maintenance plus three years of the AcuraLink telematics service. That builds on a recently restyled front end, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available wireless charging, active noise cancellation, and retuned drive modes with improved driving dynamics and comfort.

The RDX is powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder good for 272 hp and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, although Acura has a clever optional all-wheel-drive system that dynamically manages power across the rear axle. Handling is crisp, steering response is strong, and the ride is comfortable yet firm, particularly on models with the optional adaptive damping suspension.

The RDX offers seating for five passengers, and the front provides supportive bolsters in A-Spec trim, as well as genuine leather upholstery. Head and leg space are generous in back, in spite of the raked roof, bot those seats should have more support. Cargo capacity is competitive, with about 59 cubic feet available when the second row is folded down. 

This Acura is rounded out with good crash test results and a competitive list of active safety tech, though we wish blind-spot monitors were standard and the upgraded surround-view camera system was more accessible.

How much does the 2024 Acura RDX cost?

We expect prices to start at about $43,000 for base versions, with features such as a 10.2-inch infotainment display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, leather upholstery, and 19-inch wheels. We’d spend more for the Technology Package and the available all-wheel drive system, for about $48,000.

Where is the 2024 Acura RDX made?

In Ohio.
