I chose the Acura 2024 RDX Advanced instead of the Lexus. I wasn’t impressed at all with the Lexus and hubby was shocked. He thought for sure I’d go for one BUT it wasn’t quiet enough on the highway for me. I saw the RDX after the Lexus and was DONE! I thought I was going to get a Volvo but the delayed acceleration was a dealbreaker. I’ve been looking for 5 years but didn’t want to settle. I also loved Genesis cars BUT the service department in my area has gotten really bad reviews and even though they make gorgeous cars I wanted a dealership that could get repairs done quickly when needed. Hubby was thrilled with my choice…I saved him a lot of money…and STILL think the Acura is the better choice!

Yes, the Acura RDX A-Spec is larger and more comfortable than the Lexus NX 350 Sport which should actually be in the "subcompact" SUV category.

I guess they're selling well because there's so many RDX on the road plus the Mdx starts 50,000 so maybe the RDX is a nice sweet spot for the customer.

A friend of mine went from a 2020 Acura RDX A-Spec to a 2024 Acura MDX A-Spec and he told me he feels like the MDX is more luxurious but said he prefers the way the RDX drives. The RDX is quicker, sportier, lighter on its feet. I've driven both and I'd say the same too. My friend regrets not going MDX Type S instead he said the A-Spec is kind of slow at times

I thought about the MDX but decided against it because I didn’t need the extra seating. The RDX Advanced has so many features on it it was a better fit for me. It’s only my husband, two VERY spoiled Chihuahuas and myself so it seemed foolish to get a bigger car. I looked at an MDX that had a red interior and black paint…I felt it was too dark for Texas and black paint really shows the dirt!

Hilarious that Joe hypothesized ‘my daughter hit a palm tree and totaled my other car’, because 3 Sundays ago my daughter hit a street light and totaled our Audi Q7. It was going to be given to her in a few months-we replaced it with a 2020 A5 Sportback. Hopefully she keeps it away from street lights (and palm trees).

I just picked up the 2025 Acura RDX Advance A-Spec! It's beyond amazing! I learned the touchpad quickly and it's actually really good. Super simple to use and honestly, it's better than a touch screen in this particular case. Updated front grill and body aesthetics. Better location for the wireless charger. Improved cup holders. Amazing new wheels that are really sporty. Better seats. Android Auto and Apple Car Play now works full screen. It still uses the ELS 3D 16 speaker audio system vs the new Bang Olafson in the MDX but that's OK. This ELS system sounds freaking amazing! Also, LED cabin lighting improved with LEDs in the speakers! How cool is that. I mean, this sporty SUV doesn't get enough love, I think, vs. competition. I truly love mine!! 😎👍

I see they got rid of the rear vents hot/cold wheel control. Probably because of the complaints like mine: since there is no sync between the front climate control and rear you often end up with a whild temp differences between the front and rear if you set rear for cold and forgot about it and then set the front for hot.

My thoughts from a real owner. Not just a 30 minute review. I had a 1990 Legend. It was a great car. Perfect in every way. I purchased a 2019 Performance Red RDX A Spec CPO Loved it at first The RDX turned into a POS. Display issues, Unable to change drive mode would pop up on the screen, NYC gas millage 8 to 12 driving like grandpa. On the highway the best I got was 28 to 30 MPG. The touch pad, unlike you say, is a disaster. Swaps are backwards first of all. Second, a one to one touchpad in NYC traffic is a disaster. I have been doing IT for over 40 years so for me to hate it is junk. To add my display had issues twice with unable to change drive mode ( all I did was just start up the RDX ) one on a long trip and I had to rely on my $400 phone screen not the 42 k car, to navigate. Then the dealer found no issue 2 months later a Bulletin came out and they fixed the MOSt buss connector. The car sat in the garage for about 2 to 3 weeks then it came back after just starting the car. Showed the dealer the Picture again they said pictures are not proof. I don’t know about you but a picture speaks 1000 words. They are dumb idiots. Screen was Fixed then two weeks later came back, Took to the dealer and they told me they had to ask Acura if they could fix it again. I almost dropped to the floor from that statement. I have never heard that in my life. Now Acura treated you like you purchased a Luxury car in the 90' now they treat you like you purchased a FORD from the corp down. Really sad. What I like is the Torque vectoring of the RDX but unlike the commercial let's face reality who in the hell drives a RDX like a NSX. You have to be crazy to do so. All SUVs are too high off the ground to do that safely. Also look at the fit and finish of the RDX. It's not good at all. Look under the headlights there is a big gap on both sides. Anyway avoid Acura at all costs trust me. I got lucky when the pandemic hit. They wanted to buy my car back and I sold it for a good price. That you GOD for your assistance in this. Anyway I now have a CPO 2022 RX 350 and I can tell you the Lexus RX 350 beats the RDX in every way. From the corp down to the dealership. Let's start with everything in the car just works, Port and GDI injection a plus, NYC gas mileage 16 to 18, highway 33. Pad is way better than the RDX but when I get frustrated I can always hit the screen. Nice to have both on a Luxury car. That is what you pay for. So sorry Brad Lexus and Acura are not in the same league anymore. Lexus is leagues ahead in many ways.

Did you test drive an MDX at least? You can't compare a RX 350 to an RDX, two different vehicle segments, The 2022+ MDX is a league of its own and I bet you it's on the same level as the RX 350 or better.

@@NCblue95I can compare Lexus Corp to Honda corp. Yes I did. I liked he MDX but with the engine recalls for the V6 is not good. Acura is not Acura anymore it's and over rated Honda. They treat you like and idiot from the Corp down. Also the same stupid track pad and no touch screen come on. How much is a touch screen? The MDX is not worth the price compared to the Lexus RX 350. Just the fact alone that the Rx 350 has both GDI and port fuel injection is more value to the car. The RX 350 and the MDX are not comparison Hands down the RX 350 takes it. Now please understand I loved my Acura 90 Legend and it was a great car and I wanted to love the RDX and Acura again, they did this to me not I to them. I looked at the NX before I bought the RX but no spare tire and run flats was a downer. Yes I know the RDX ASpec has no spare tire but when I got mine I got the spare tire kit included that was a plus for Acura, Lexus new NX does not have it a kit or spare. Now the MDX got better NYC city gas mileage than the RDX that how over rated the gas saving Turbo is just pure BS. I am just so amazed at my city gas mileage with I have the RX 3350 premium trim also. Also Lexus and Toyota resale value is way better than Acura or Honda. Now you can try and convince me other wise except I owned a 2019 RDX ASpec and my honest opinion and a person down the street that has the same issue with a 2022 one is not going to change my totally POS RDX. Also when you call Lexus for support you are calling Lexus not Honda like with the Acura. Yes I had to call about finding out about the remote app subscription expiration. I have 2 years of free service and 2 years of all the apps included unlike 3 months with the RDX.

Joe, another great thorough Review. Aside from subjective opinions on the looks, the only thing that i feel that Acura chinced on is the lack of including a power steering wheel adjustment ?? I've had that feature in the last 4 Infinitis and the last 2 Acura MDXs I've had (and have - a 22 MDX Advance). That feature is integral with the auto exit and Entry, working with the Seat position, mirror position, when exiting and entering the vehicle. Moreover, either I didn't catch or you didn't mention whether the RDX has Remote Start, which engages the heated steering wheel, heated rear defroster & heated mirrors, turns on the front defogger in cold weather. In Hot weather - it would engage the A/C at the preset Temp. Your comments about the TTIP system about getting used to it are fair (I have it in my 22 MDX, after 32 months, still not fond of it ), in that yiou can use the HUD & Steering wheel controls to use the InfoT. and a Shortcuts Icon on the Home screen of the pad to ease your pain. However, you failed to mention that the TTIP when engaged with AA or CP is downright Awful . It changes the quick resposniveness of the Touch Pad into a Very Slow acting Mouse pad! And when engaged with AA or CP, the Center Console USB port is the only one that can be used to Play Flash Drives, Disengages !! You can only play FD when out of AA or CP. The new 25 MDX - just announced and reviewed by you a week ago or so, has Introduced a New Touch Screen !! And that "stupid" AA / CP feature has been eliminated!! My lease comes up in August. I'm left with a few decisions : Buy my MDX with 21K miles for $38,500; Lease a new 25 MDX Advance (although I pine for a Type S - too much $$$$$ and poorer MPGs) ; or lease another vehicle altogether : a 24 RDX a Mazda CX-90 (or CX-70), or other.... I'd love to know if a new 25 RDX with the same changes made to the 25 MDX is on the horizon?

Also, stop fighting it and just put the MDX touch screen infotainment in there rather than the touchpad. Here is hoping for a Type S in the next gen with room for the Turbo 6, although the Turbo 4 from the Type R is plenty.

The issue about Acura in general is that there really isn't a big gap between these cars and their Honda's in terms of their interior/exterior. At times the Honda looks better than their Acura I really think this is where they need to work on ( I would rather just get a Honda) You can see stark differences between lexus and toyota for example.

I have the 2023 Acura RDX which is pretty much the same as this. I love everything about the car expect the lack of touch screen. I simply don’t understand Acura’s thinking here. It is very cumbersome to use CarPlay without a touch interface which most people default to over the in-built navigation. Also, a bit better fuel efficiency would also be preferred and I don’t know why Acura has never gotten into the hybrid game.

All season weather package (Instead of floor carpet), 5. Carbon Fiber/Gloss Black Rear Diffuser. In some cases the RDX has the popping moonroof sound when going over a curb, not sure if Acrua should do a national wide recall for that.

ADX is coming as well. Although ik most people aren’t ready for EVs, Acura hasn’t failed me yet. It takes about $14 to get a full range of ~300 miles while filling most gas tanks range from $60-80 on most SUVS so it’s something to think about.

I think Acura desperately needs to get the RDX type S model. Some of us don’t need MDX space and that’s the only way they’ll be able to compete with the BMW X3 M40i or Genesis GV70 3.5T. I think at this point I would still chose the 2 other brands I mentioned. Hopefully Acura reconsiders it for 2025

Great review Joe! I know its miniscule but this trim is the Aspec Advance. Combination of the two top trims Acura offers. Just wanted to share this so potential viewers know the Aspec has fewer options than the trim you showcased today.

In addition to the items you mentioned, a luxury SUV costing more than $50K should come equipped with automatic/memory/telescopic steering wheel. Nobody wants to manually adjust your steering wheel like we were doing 20 years ago.

Without a doubt. The Rdx is so much better than the Lexus Nx. The Nx is much smaller, especially in the front row. For me, the lack of a spare tire, run flats, and 8k more for the Nx with same options as my Acura Rdx Adavance made my decision easy. Plus the Rdx looks so much better.

@Raitirides any ideas about heat acura will do with the RDX? This is the Last year of its generation cycle. I think currently, the RDX is near perfect. Infotainment needs work, and a type Variant would make sense. Throw in a nice lease incentive package and you and they will continue to sell

I agree it should have a Type-S version. I love the RDX but I'm seriously considering the MDX (even though I don't need the room) just because of the Type-S option. We'll see if I can hold out till 2025 (Come on Accord)
