Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 RDX.
The 2025 Acura RDX carries EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined via its Automatic (S10) transmission. With 29 owner complaints and one recall on record, this model year sits well below the 2019 high-water mark of 431 complaints yet notably above the 2024 low of 10, indicating a departure from the prior year’s anomalous quiet while maintaining historically low complaint volumes. Reported issues concentrate in steering, service brakes, and lane departure systems, reflecting targeted component concerns rather than systemic failures across the 2007–2025 model lineage.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Acura RDX sits at the tail end of the current generation, which launched in 2019 amid a significant spike in federal complaints (431 in 2019, 338 in 2020) and five recalls each year. Since that turbulent introduction, the trend has been one of steady maturation: complaints dropped to 102 by 2021, then to 30, 19, and 10 through 2024, while recalls declined from five to two and TSBs fell from 234 to 18 over the same period. For 2025, the record shows 29 complaints, a single recall, zero investigations, and just four TSBs — the lowest recall and TSB counts in the entire 19-year dataset — though the complaint uptick from 2024's ten is worth noting and may reflect early reporting volume rather than a systemic reversal. The 2025 complaint profile is heavily concentrated in steering-related issues, frequently cross-referenced with lane departure and, in seven cases, service brakes; the data does not specify a root cause for these clusters, but the consistency of steering as a theme suggests buyers should pay particular attention to steering feel and lane-keeping assist behavior during a test drive. With one crash complaint and zero fire complaints, and the generation's early-year problems clearly behind it, the 2025 RDX represents the most federally clean model year in this generation and is a solid choice for a used buyer — provided the steering and ADAS systems are verified functioning on the specific unit under consideration.
