Hi all,

Does anyone know when the 24' RDX models are coming out? Also, does anyone know if the 24' models will have digital gauges? I guess the 24' TLX Type S will have them.

I'm trying to hold off until the 25' refresh, but my back in the TLX Type S tells me it's not happy!

Appears to be the same as the 2023 model, https://www.acura.com/suvs/2024/rdx

Back hurts on TLX Type S, the seats seem similar to the RDX with a bit more bolstering. Have you driven a RDX? Probably try an Advanced or Aspec advanced, as the adjustable suspension probably can be softer than the standard Aspec. Mine is firm, but never stiff (regular Aspec SHawd) and seats are great for 700+ mile days.

I previously had a 21' RDX Aspec, and I found the seats to be much more comfortable. Perhaps that is just me though. I think a lot of my issues with the Type S is getting in and out of. I love the power of the car, but I keep toying with the idea of switching back. However, with the RDX not really having much change for the 24' year, I may hold off for the 25' model year change and then switch over.

I have a bad back and at this point, I cannot sit in a sedan without experiencing extreme pain within minutes. The RDX works quite well for me, although not as well as an NX in Luxury trim that I test drove. Among the RDX models, I think the A-Spec seats are the best followed by the Tech followed by the Advance. For some reason the Advance seats feel harder than the Tech.

If you are dealing with back discomfort and you think the RDX will solve it, you might as well make a change. It's not worth dealing with discomfort for a whole year only to find out they decided to extend the same model for another year.

I have an Aspec Advance....the seats are very comfortable and very adjustable. I do not have any back issues though.

I just checked Truecar for my area and not only are the '24 models already out, of 38 total A-Spec/Advance recorded sales, 12 sales (32%) were at least 5% below MSRP!

OP I would look for a 2023 with very low miles, these cars are usually driven by dealership management. My car was only driven by the GM of the dealership (with about 4K miles) and I got it for 15% off MSRP.
AND it came with the Acura Certified 7 year warranty.

The RDX is receiving a second facelift.

very strange update. No update to tail lamps to what all the other acuras have.

Makes sense for them to try to milk out a few more years from the ICE platform and spend more of that money on their EV development. I suspect the TLX will get a 2nd MMC too rather than a new generation.

The MDX had a similar partial-camo spotted last summer, and nothing ultimately changed in their 24 launch. Possibly it was an early test of the MDX 25 MMR, but it could also be that they are road testing a separate/unrelated change on both models.

For example SuperCruise (branded as "Acurawatch 360") on the ZDX uses LIDAR, and Honda announced that it would be rolling out Acurawatch 360 across the ICE lineup ahead of the EV transition, so it is possible this is a test of LIDAR and totally independent of any planned MMR.

Bet a lot of MFG's are rethinking the move to EV in a rapid manner, as sales have stalled significantly in the USA, and the build out of charging stations is slowing too (besides Tesla charging stations). However, Hybrid sales have taken off and lot of mfg's are putting hybrid systems in there 2024 and on new models.
