2025 Acura RDX gains more distinctive look with new "frameless" Diamond Pentagon grille and aggressive grille mesh
Functionality of center console enhanced with increased storage and easier access to wireless smartphone charger
New wide-screen mode added for standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility
Acura today introduced its refreshed RDX performance SUV that takes the brand's popular 5-passenger SUV to an even higher level with sophisticated styling, updated cabin and enhanced technology. The 2025 Acura RDX gains a new "frameless" Diamond Pentagon grille and aggressive grille mesh for a more distinctive look. The cabin experience is improved with a redesigned center console with increased storage, larger cupholders and easier access to the wireless smartphone charger. Moreover, the standard 10.2-inch HD center display now includes a new wide-screen mode for its standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility.

The 2025 RDX will begin arriving at Acura dealers nationwide later this month.

"This is the most premium RDX we've ever made," said Mike Langel, assistant vice president, Acura National Sales. "Our Acura performance SUV lineup has never been stronger as we continue to deliver on our commitment to advancing Precision Crafted Performance throughout the Acura lineup."

The Acura RDX has been an incredible success, with nearly 800,000 sold since it first came to market in 2006, and this year, RDX is one of the fastest growing models in its segment with sales up over 25%.

Styling Enhancements
Distinctive and sporty, the enhanced exterior styling of the new Acura RDX reflects the latest Acura design direction with a "frameless" Diamond Pentagon grille and more aggressive grille mesh. The standard RDX is further distinguished with premium gloss-black exterior trim. All RDX trims receive sportier wheel designs, including new standard Berlina Black 19-inch wheels. In addition, the 2025 RDX with Advance Package receives additional refinements with exclusive body-color lower exterior trim and redesigned Berlina Black Machine-finished 19-inch wheels with a distinct multi-spoke design.

The RDX A-Spec and A-Spec with Advance Package are designed for buyers who desire a sportier appearance with a more aggressive blacked-out exterior treatment, new 20-inch wheels and A-Spec badges. For additional visual attitude, new Berlina Black machine-finished 20-inch wheels are exclusive to the RDX A-Spec with Advance Package. RDX A-Spec features a new 10-spoke wheel design with a distinct Shark Gray finish.

The 2025 RDX is available in three exciting new paint colors: all-new Solar Silver Metallic, and—new to RDX—Canyon River Blue Metallic and Urban Gray Pearl, which are also available on the extensively refreshed 2025 MDX.
