- Highs All models come well-equipped, satisfying to drive, first-rate value among luxury SUVs.
- Lows Unrefined brake-pedal feel, hesitant automatic transmission, not-quite-luxurious interior.
- Verdict The RDX lacks performance and prestige, but it packs personality and attractive pricing.

Overview
For people who want a prestigious compact-luxury SUV, the 2024 Acura RDX likely isn't at the top of their list. While the Acura badge on its distinctive snout doesn't carry the same weight as those on flashier alternatives such as the BMW X3, the Porsche Macan, or the Mercedes-Benz GLC, the RDX's considerably lower price tag and abundant standard features make it a compelling choice for folks who want a ritzier Honda CR-V.
