2026 Acura RDX review
Acura RDX: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review
7.7/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Acura RDX is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Easy to see out of and park; standard driver-assist suite. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and third row (where offered) is for kids, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $46,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.
