Acura Canada today introduced its refreshed RDX performance SUV that takes the brand’s popular 5-passenger SUV to an even higher level with sophisticated styling, an updated centre console layout and enhanced technology. The 2025 Acura RDX gains a new “frameless” Diamond Pentagon grille and aggressive grille mesh for a more distinctive look. The cabin experience is improved with a redesigned centre console with increased storage, larger cupholders and easier access to the available wireless smartphone charger. Moreover, the standard 10.2-inch HD centre display now includes a new wide-screen mode for its standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. The 2025 RDX will begin arriving at Canadian Acura dealers nationwide in October.

“The Acura RDX has been an incredible success, with nearly 780,000 sold in North America since it first came to market in 2006,” said James Marchand, Assistant Vice President Acura Canada. “With the recent addition of the ZDX, updates to our popular MDX and RDX models, and the anticipated introduction of the ADX in the future, the Acura performance SUV lineup has never been stronger as we continue to deliver on our commitment to advancing Precision Crafted Performance throughout the Acura lineup.”

Styling Enhancements
Distinctive and sporty, the enhanced exterior styling of the new Acura RDX reflects the latest Acura design direction with a “frameless” Diamond Pentagon grille and more aggressive grille mesh. The standard RDX is further distinguished with premium gloss-black exterior trim. All RDX trims receive sportier wheel designs, including new standard Berlina Black 19-inch wheels.

The RDX A-SPEC™ and Platinum Elite A-SPEC™ are designed for buyers who desire a sportier appearance with a more aggressive blacked-out exterior treatment, new 20-inch wheels and A-SPEC™ badges. For additional visual attitude, new Berlina Black machine-finished 20-inch wheels are exclusive to the RDX Platinum Elite A-SPEC. The RDX A-SPEC™ features a new 10-spoke wheel design with a distinct Shark Grey finish.

The 2025 RDX is available in two exciting new paint colours: all-new Solar Silver Metallic, and—new to RDX—Urban Grey Pearl.

Updated Cabin
The RDX cabin gains improved form and function with a redesigned centre console that offers increased storage, larger cupholders and easier access to the available wireless smartphone charger. In addition, the standard 10.2-inch HD centre display now features a new wide-screen mode for its standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.

For an even more premium experience, the top-of-the-line RDX Platinum Elite A-SPEC™ now features full leather upholstery, additional ambient lighting on the new centre console, and dramatically lit front- and rear-door speaker cones behind acid-etched speaker grilles.
