What Acura RDX do most buyers choose?

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

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you a broad mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. They also sit in the part of the lineup where many shoppers can balance newer features with a lower used-car price than the latest model year.

What is the Acura RDX's resale value?

Most model years are showing negative year-over-year movement, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The largest drops are concentrated in the newer years, while the older models are changing more slowly. That pattern suggests you can often find stronger pricing on recent RDXs without giving up the core qualities that make the model appealing.

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

AcuraWatch is the standard safety package on the latest model, and it includes 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.

For the safest used buy, the 2016, 2019 and 2020 models all post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.

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

Buy now if:

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.
