2025 Acura RDX – What’s new?
The styling of the RDX SUV has been tweaked, starting with a frameless diamond pentagon-style front grill design. The base model gets glossy black exterior trim. The offering includes two new exterior colours, Solar Silver Metallic and Urban Grey Pearl.
Wheels, wheels, wheels
All models get new, sportier wheel designs. The wheels themselves, 19 inches and in Berlina Black, are also new.
The two A-Spec trims get new 20-inch wheels to go with a “more aggressive blacked-out exterior” look. The A-Spec model gets a unique Shark Grey finish for its new 10-spoke wheel design. The Berlina Black machine-finished 20-inch wheel on the Platinum Elite are exclusive to that trim.
Interior
Inside, we find a redesigned central console offering more storage capacity, bigger cupholders and a better positioned wireless phone charger (still an option, by the way). The standard 10.2-inch multimedia screen is the same, but it now has a widescreen mode.
The range-topping Platinum Elite A-Spec model now has full-on leather seating as standard, plus more ambient lighting on the console and on the speakers on the doors.

There are no changes here, the model once again powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine delivering up to 272 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed auto transmission.
