Should I buy a used Acura RDX now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −8.69% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −9.04%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 36.4% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37.1%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $36,706. The Acura RDX offers a strong blend of quality, interior space, practicality, and thoughtful details.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Under the RDX’s hood, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine supplies a robust 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission offers manual control via paddle shifters located on the steering wheel, and it directs the power to all four wheels through Acura’s torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system.
• Tech: Fortunately, the infotainment system offers wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and Alexa Built-in, so you can use voice commands to avoid interacting with the TTI as much as possible.
• Safety: AcuraWatch is the name of the standard safety features package. The list of included features is long: forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.
• Starting price: Prices range from $44,700 to $52,450, not including the $1,350 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
