The 2025 Acura RDX shows off its ferociously purposeful design across several trim levels. The bold stance of the RDX is enhanced by its striking Diamond Pentagon grille, flanked by Jewel Eye® LED headlights that provide a piercing, sophisticated look. Following its sleek body lines past the standard panoramic sunroof to the back, you’ll find LED-illuminated Dragon Tail taillights and dual exhaust finishers, making a one-of-a-kind lasting impression. From the base RDX trim to the top-tier A-Spec® Advance Package, every detail speaks to the precision engineering Acura is known for. The athletic A-Spec® trim brings a sportier flair with aggressive 20-inch Shark Grey alloy wheels, gloss black accents, dark chrome details, and exclusive badging, as well as LED fog lights. The Advance Package delivers a polished, executive look with chrome enhancements, LED puddle lights, and 19-inch Berlina Black machine-finish alloys. The apex, the A-Spec® Advance trim is fully-loaded, boasting all of these elements and adding exclusive detailing to secure its top-tier status. Flashy premium exterior paint options like Liquid Carbon Metallic and Performance Red Pearl are applied in a series of tinted clear coats for a fluid, rich finish that’s durable and multi-faceted. Everything about the RDX breathes an air of elite power.

The 2025 Acura RDX harbors a robust 2.0L VTEC® turbocharged engine, tuned to deliver an exhilarating blend of power and efficiency. Pushing up to 272 hp and 280 lbs.-ft. of torque, this 4-cylinder engine doesn’t merely perform—it roars with authority. The turbocharger ensures immediate throttle response, giving you an edge when highway merging and waiting at lights. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters, you’ll get a visceral connection with the road and seamless, precise gear changes, contributing to both performance and fuel economy.

Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) is available on the 2025 RDX, elevating its agility and control to new heights. SH-AWD® actively distributes power between the front and rear wheels, enhancing traction and stability, even in the most challenging road conditions. This system is especially noticeable during tight cornering, where the rear wheels can receive up to 70% of the engine's torque. The Adaptive Damper System adjusts suspension settings based on road conditions and your driving style. Wherever the road takes you, the RDX remains composed, comfortable, and thrilling to drive.
