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 RDX’s 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, and it also 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.
