2024 Acura RDX is the latest model to eliminate front-wheel drive, go AWD only

2024 Acura RDX is the latest model to eliminate front-wheel drive, go AWD only



After Acura made small changes to the RDX for the 2022 and 2023 model years, Honda's premium arm is carrying the 2023 version nearly unchanged into 2024. There's a familiar drivetrain tweak that we've covered across the automaker spectrum, though, with Acura dropping the front-wheel-drive option that had been available on the base, Technology, and A-Spec trims. For now, every RDX comes fitted with Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The effect is also familiar: Compared to 2023 RDX pricing at launch, the minimum price for the entry-level base and the Technology trims is up $2,300, the A-Spec price climbs $2,000.

MSRPs for the RDX lineup including the $1,195 destination charge, and their changes from 2023 launch pricing, are:

  • RDX Base: $45,245 ($2,300)

  • Technology: $47,895 ($2,300)

  • A-Spec: $50,895 ($2,000)

  • Advance: $53,045 ($500)

  • A-Spec Advance: $55,045 ($500)
