The 2025 Acura RDX is a petrol SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the TC2 LCI generation. The A-Spec SH-AWD is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured A-Spec SH-AWD version develops 272 hp and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.5 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 218 km/h (135 mph). Its power output is close to the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 10% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 9.8 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 60.0 litres (15.9 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 224 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,699 mm (185.0 in) in length, 1,900 mm (74.8 in) in width, and 1,673 mm (65.9 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,750 mm (108.3 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 647 litres (22.8 cu ft), expanding to 1,566 litres (55.3 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,838 kg (4,052 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,588 kg (3,501 lb). That cargo volume is about 14% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Technology SH-AWD and A-Spec SH-AWD. Across the range, the specifications span 272 hp and 6.5 s, while listed starting prices run from $44,750-$47,800. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Acura RDX is strongest on cargo capacity and acceleration, while towing capacity stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
