2025 Acura RDX Gets A Light Touch-Up With The Same Annoying Screen

The Acura RDX sees some updates for 2025, focused largely on changes to how the car looks from the outside and feels from the inside.

Acura has updated the RDX’s styling with new colors, more aggressive fascias, and better storage and connectivity. Styling updates center around Acura’s latest frameless grille design featured prominently on other models, like the TLX. Standard RDXs get glossy black exterior trim, and all models will get new wheel designs.

The RDX Advance Package models get body-color lower trim and updated wheels of their own. Meanwhile, A-Spec and A-Spec with Advance Package trims receive 20-inch wheels. Three new colors have been added to the lineup, rounding off exterior updates: Solar Silver Metallic, Canyon River Blue Metallic, and Urban Gray Pearl.

Updates continue inside, kicking off with a new center console offering, in Acura's words, a “redesigned center console that offers increased storage, larger cupholders, and easier access to the wireless smartphone charger.” The center stack features a new widescreen mode for the newly standard wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay that will allow the software to fully fill the 10.25-inch screen.

It’s a start, but Acura’s frustrating trackpad/screen combo remains. RDX with Advance Package and A-Spec with Advance Package models get full leather upholstery with more ambient lighting on the center console, too. Pricing has yet to be announced, but we expect it soon, as the updated SUV will hit dealers later this month.
