2024 Acura RDX -- New Standard AWD for the Luxury Value King!

I bought a 2023 RDX (maxed out) about 5 months ago … adore the heck out of it. The 16 speaker sound system is just … wow.

If the turn signals not being LED bothers anyone...just buy a set of LED bulbs and stick them in there. It's really not a big deal.

The best thing about it is the stereo and people often don't mention it. The SH-AWD is superior to most awd vehicles as well. The low end torque with this motor makes the driveability enjoyable and adds some fun too. If you pick up a low mileage used one, you're getting a great value. Mpg isnt great, but if you love a good driving vehicle, you likely won't care, cuz this car is worth it.

Clicked on this as soon as I saw it. The RDX has great proportions. I know other drivers' needs are different based on their life circumstances, but I always thought this was a perfect size for a small family or even a single person. Looking forward to the slam dunk airball segment.

I have the 2022 RDX top of the line, black with red interior. It's very fun to drive including the handling. I actually like the touchpad as you can easily access it without over reaching the screen and fingerprints. The speakers feels like you are in a live concert lol. Cargo space is surprisingly spacious especially having that underfloor cargo space. Awesome car.

I have a 2021 RDX PMC. I love the handling. The small and large storage is great. Particularly like the storage under the back platform. My only complaint is the track pad. I prefer a touch screen. But I will keep it for years because of the driving experience.

Amazing video guys.

I know this sounds silly, but so many reviewers tell us storage in terms of cubic feet. While I understand that's what the promotional material supplies, it is INCREDIBLY helpful to have real tape measure measurements provided. Excellent! Honestly I think you're video may have sold my wife and I on the RDX over the MDX because it offered a lot more space than what we thought it did. Subbed and excellent work!

Love your video

Amazing review guys, as always. Keep up the good work.

Just got one love it

The dude that thought the $32,000 Civic was expensive is going to lose his mind when he sees the price of this thing 😂

Car confections is slowly being my favourite Car reviewing channel

RDX is overdue for upgrades in interior, engine, power output, braking & handling and interior. Hopefully the Acura engineers redo the info-tainment screens with better configuration. If they cant give us better fuel efficiency , give us more Horsepower and torque!

If you can add height measurements with the cargo area dimensions that would be great.

Insane new Acura RDX SUV I wanted to buy.

The RDX is still an excellent value overall, especially if you can avoid the temptation of the A spec appearance and stick with Advance. I get that people don't like the tech, but on the other hand it's still got a lot of nice physical buttons. Also, don't overlook how good the voice control system is. I'm also surprised at how many people undervalue sh-awd.. even on dry roads it's a great improvement over the competition. And for some reason, Lexus didn't even give an option for any advanced awd on the NX. Also quieter and more comfortable than the NX. Significantly more cargo space than the NX, too. And, unlike the NX, the RDX can still remote start via the keyfob rather than requiring a subscription. The GV70 looks nice but I'm not on board with trusting the Korean brands just yet. And I'm not a fan of GDI engines.

Going to test drive one today

Great review, guys. I bought the 2023 A-Spec advance last month, and I love it. I'm doing around 20.5 MPG average.

I have a 2021 RDX Advanced and frankly I see very few improvements and that’s a good thing.

Fantastic review as always guys!😸

Did they fix the issues with the infotainment software? Also they need to update the HD, it should indicate your blind spots, instead of taking your eyes off the road to look at the indicators on the outside mirrors. Also the usb port in the center console should be moved.

Love the powertrain in this. Just wish it was still available in the Accord. So it goes.

Beautiful

You mean the pumped sound has improved!

It looks alright

The car slogan reminds me of pliers hand tool who is matching my concept

those entry level exhaust outlets definitely look more rectangular than trapazoidal

I think the car needs to be Refined a bit.... the interior needs to be Cleaned up , that dashboard is Crazy ...and the Outside looks the same to me.And at their price point ,I also think its About Time Acura starts offering different accessories....Tires,Stereo, Interior colors, engines,.. ect! Also, what about all the maintenance Issues this car has had over the past 3-4 years? Have they been addressed. GREAT VIDEO 😊....

Would suggest to include ACC and LKA test in the car review. I believe many people also care about these features.

I'm glad it at least has gas struts for the hood. Is the parking brake and electronic parking brake?

So when I brought in my '22 MDX for some warranty work early this week, '24 this RDX Aspec Advance was my loaner car and I am impressed on the quality and performance... its light and accelerate fast.... just imagine if they will come out with Type S. My wife wants to trade in her '20 CRV with this one... why not? =D. For this price point, I hope for the next iteration of RDX would be... upgrade to bigger touchscreen, keep the touchpad, upgrade to all LED tail lights, motorized steering wheel column, all digital cluster display, add AC controls at rear, and higher resolution for 360 and stitched rendering (not break lines).

I would consider one if Acura offered huge factory rebates. Otherwise, I would wait for the new, redesigned model next year.

How’s the quality of the 360 cam Vs the 2023?and also vs other luxury SUVs

People complain about touchscreens all the time. Am I a select few that actually focuses on driving? The TTI works fine for me no learning curve needed. It could be older people just don't know how to use it. I enjoy this vehicle immensely! The driving dynamics are fun, sporty and inspiring. By no means is this a Porche Macan but the overall value, dependability, quality, and ownership far exceeds the need to be flashy. I also considered the new NX F Sport and RX F Sport one was too small, and the other was too big. Lexus now has a subscription service for the native GPS which is absurd IMHO! The RDX fits the happy medium and the driving dynamics has a sportier feel. I would be confident taking the RDX on Tail of the Dragon just like my TL Type S and enjoy it. One last thing, the technology in vehicles do not make the vehicle obsolete unless they turn off 3G and my navigation unit was useless inputting automatically manually it was fine. I purchased the 22 RDX which replaced my 2008 TL Types S which had at the time >265K I sold it and still see it on the road ((my particular car). I do not like perpetual debt, and I plan on keeping my RDX for the same amount time Most High willing. I am not convincing anyone of anything, just engaging in a civilized discussion about vehicles.

Would love a review when available of the 2025 RDX Advance or higher. I just watched your video of the coming 2025 MDX Advance so am interested to see what is new for the 2025 RDX. I am looking to replace my 2008 Honda Pilot which still runs and drives great. Your channel has helped alot! Thanks!

Awesome, still love my 2020, but might trade in next year for new one or ZDX

No HUD and no heated steering wheel for ASpec. Wait for the 2025 update next year……

Consumer reports as 1 of top vehicle and top Acura behind HRV

Needs type-s and digital clusters, led turn signal

❤❤❤❤

I hope they don’t water this model for its next gen, Honda/Acura tend to do that trend with their current models!

Can you speak to the blow up spare instead of a traditional spare

When it came out in 2019, it was a great value. Now, it's a bit overpriced and not as luxurious as the competition. The center ergonomics once advanced shows its clumsiness when compared to a GV70 or Lexus NX. The R&D has been paid for, but the lack of upgrades the past 4+ years is embarrassing. Can't even make the rear turn signals LED - that's shameful.

Honda pilot elite at these prices.

The face lift of 2025 model must have a touch screen

The cargo area has the same LxW footprint as an 80" TV

Why do you like metal speaker grills so much? Just the look of them? I like the looks too. Just curious.

But what I really want is a 2024 BMW x6m competition

Custom tuning will make it more lively.

Where is the Type S?

The RDX is the benchmark for value priced luxury and sportiness Well...until the Mazda CX70 comes out at least 🤣

Is it atill getting 15-19mpg? I will not consider one til they imporve the mileage

I hope Acura can add touchscreens to their lineup soon.

Great review but I would not spend $60,000. On a suv without a touch screen and with that weird track pad .

When are they going to redesign it? I have this body.

Rides so much better than the Lexus NX.

I like the touch pad because is diferent

Does this require Premium fuel?

Feels out of date, but cool grill

The whole infotainment console needs to be resigned

Did you guys notice any difference with the resolution of the 360 cam vs 2023? Did it improve at all?

Own a SH-AWD TLX. When they gave us a FWD RDX as a loaner, I couldn’t drive it. On a dry day, the wheels were spinning everywhere. Our next car will be in this class. Leaning towards an X3 at this point or perhaps a Mazda. The TLX/RDX engine does not sound refined. While that is also the case with the X3 30i, bmw does a better job isolating the noise and vibration from the cabin.

Is it a hybrid as well? 🤔

I can't get over that Acura has not added a power steering wheel adjustment !! Once you have that feature (on my last 6cars , 4 Infinitis and 2 Acura MDXs), You will miss it. All those cars Auto Entry and exit, raising the Steering wheel and moving the seat back to exit and Vice Versa when you enter.

I hope Acura never uses this startup chime again, it sounds straight out of a 90's GM product. The one on the MDX and Integra are much much better.

How does RDX compare to CX-5 sig.

Better than any Lexus

The RDX can compete with the gv70 and the RDX absolutely wipes the Lexus nx inside and out and behind the wheel in every single way

Seems very outdated. Am I looking at a review of a 2024 or a 2016?

I hate Acura keep giving touch pad , please change to touch screen and get rid off turbo engine

Do you have little hands or is that a big ass key?

RDX or X3M40i?

That interior is just...unfortunate.

That big ass key fob gotta go. Its like carrying a fat cell phone

Honda includes LED turn signals on the Honda CRV but not on the luxury SUV RDX? Sounds like some penny pinching accountants need to take a vacation....or have some CBD brownies.

Front end looks modern, rear end looks dated

Acura REALLY needs to redesign that ridiculous looking center dash! I just can't get past it.😕

CR-V Touring has a much better value, and a touch screen... pass. Might as well look at GLC or X3

Every day that passes I fall more in love with my 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander SE.

It looked great until you showed the push button shifter. Uggh. I hate those. That screen looks like a picture frame sitting on a table. That's not what I call integrated. It's just an afterthought. Also, not a touchscreen. What year is this?

2025 model year better be a new generation. No more touch pad please.

I didn't like no touch screen.

Hey guys, it seems like the car is really lurching when you take your foot off the gas!??

I heard real gas mileage is worse in this .

Genesis G70 or Audi Q5 for me!

These days, I see about as many Acuras on the the road as Infinities... people want luxury AND reliability... hence Lexus.

Perfact for me. Just wish it was offered with some electrification.....

I would pick the Acura RDX but the downgrade is the technology I would put the NX but also you got to pay for a lot of stuff just like German Brands I would get the new GLC but I don't know about that one I would get the Genesis gv70 but the downgrade is there's no Wireless Android auto or Apple carplay I would get the Audi SQ5 but again you got to pay for the rest of the stuff so I don't really know I might go for the Genesis gv70

the center infotainment looks hideous lmao

Stupid of them not to put the digital cluster in this Acura... You know; the one they put in the 2024 TLX

I dont think the RDX has better value than the GV70, its tech is lagging behind the GV70 and the GV70 has another engine option and electric option

This generation is a step back from last gen: The ride is noisier (although this is due to the OEM tires) The stereo is a downgrade in terms of sound quality compared to previous gen, but the bass is better! the engine, although outputs the same power with the turbo, just sounds pathetic. I would've loved an trim option with 6 cylinders engine. The overall assembly/build quantity doesn't feel like it's a luxury car like a German car does. Then again, it's assembled in the USA so that's expected! Finally, the stupid gear shift button. For God's sake who is the fucking idiot that started this trend? Also, thanks to Acura for not doing a touch screen.

Hate the fact they couldn't put the wireless charger in actual sight of the driver instead of underneath and out of sight. Also, don't care for the ipad looking screen in the middle.

My 2021 cx5 carbon has automatic braking & acura saves that for top 2 trims...smh.

That key fob looks massively oversized.

YIKES! I can get a larger Lexus RX350 or a FULLY loaded Palisade for that much!

Nice vehicle, but TOO EXPENSIVE . Especially when considering how MANY other alternative vvehicles are out there.

Terrible place to put wireless charging wat was acura 🤔...
