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, and the official EPA fuel economy rating is 23 mpg in combined driving.
• Tech: The infotainment system offers wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and Alexa Built-in.
• Safety: AcuraWatch is the name of the standard safety features package, and higher trim levels also offer low-speed front and rear braking and a surround-view camera system.
• 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.
