The 2025 Acura RDX is due for an entire overhaul as this generation enters its seventh model year, however it appears like we’ll have to be somewhat extra affected person, as Acura simply introduced this 2025 mannequin is getting a light-weight refresh.
A brand new “frameless” grille with a mesh sample adorns the entrance to deliver it in step with other Acuras sporting the identical design. New wheels all through the lineup spruce issues up alongside the perimeters, with 19-inch Berlina Black-painted rims being the brand new normal choice. In the meantime, Advance Bundle vehicles obtain new body-color decrease exterior trim and distinctive multi-spoke machine end 19-inch wheels. A-Spec trim RDXs step issues as much as 20-inch wheels with their very own distinctive design. Lastly, three new shades be part of the color palette consisting of Photo voltaic Silver Metallic, City Grey Pearl and Canyon River Blue Metallic.
Inside updates see the RDX achieve a brand new heart console design that options bigger cupholders and an improved wi-fi cellphone charger. What it doesn’t change is the True Touchpad infotainment system. Acura went away from its long-running (and controversial) infotainment system design in the new 2025 MDX, however the RDX marches on with the identical design. What’s improved, although, is the ten.2-inch display screen itself. Acura says it’s up to date and now helps a wide-screen mode for wi-fi Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Beforehand, it solely displayed on a part of the display screen with the opposite portion reserved for varied different issues. The ultimate inside replace is a top quality one, as Acura says Advance Bundle vehicles (together with A-Spec with Advance Bundle) will likely be geared up with full-leather upholstery, ambient lighting on the brand new heart console and backlit door audio system.
Every part else in regards to the RDX stays the identical. As a reminder, which means it’s geared up with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that sends 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque by means of a 10-speed automated transmission. Pricing for this massaged RDX will come quickly, as Acura says the 2025 mannequin is hitting dealers later this month.
