What Acura RDX do most buyers choose?

The Acura RDX years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and a wider spread of prices and conditions. That usually makes it easier to find the right mix of features, mileage, and deal quality.

What is the Acura RDX's resale value?

Most Acura RDX model years are showing lower prices than a year ago, which is good news if you're shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in the newer model years, while older examples are changing more gradually. That creates a useful spread of opportunities across the lineup depending on how much you want to spend.

The 2015, 2014, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• Tech: Fortunately, the infotainment system offers wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and Alexa Built-in, and in addition to those features, the infotainment system offers SiriusXM satellite radio and AcuraLink connected services with access to a Wi-Fi hotspot.

• 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.
