Hi! New to the community and looking for some information. Are there any differences between the 2014 and 2015 RDX? Both are AWD with Tech package. I'm buying used and both the 2014 and 2015 are comparable in mileage, price and options. The 2014 has 44K miles and the 2015 has 48K miles. Price is same. Just hoping to find out if there would be an advantage going with the 2015. I know mechanically they are probably the same, but what about the technology inside?

Any information shared would be greatly appreciated!!

the 2016-2018 are almost identical. the 2016 was a mid model refresh and 2019 is a total redesign. the 2014-2015 are the same as far as I know, just doesn't have led taillights, and led headlights. there are more changes but I can't remember. the 6 cylinder is great and glad I got one before the rumored 4 cyl turbo is released.

actually looking at a 2017 accord xxl v6 right now as I don't like the turbo on the accord either.

As far as I know, 2013-2015 are the exactly the same down to the last nut & bolt. I'd option for the 2015 because you may have more of the original warranty left (if any), depending on when the vehicles originally went into service. Also resale should always be a little better on the later year, all things being equal. These are a good choice and the prices are fantastic on the used RDXs. I'd never buy a '17 or '18 as they are so outdated now. Excited about the possibility of the new turbo 4 though!

I will take the V-6 over a turbo 4 any day and a new 17 over a used 14-15

He's asking about a 14-15

My recommendation is to test drive the vehicles multiple times! First thing in the morning, afternoon/evening. I purchased a 2014 RDX FWD Tech package in June with 30K miles and feel like I got a lemon! Working through jerky gear shifts, vibration at high speeds. Extremely frustrating as Acura seems to know about these issues but doesn't have the fix to correct. I've gone through several bulletins and still experiencing the issues. Best of luck!

Same problem with my 2014 Tech FWD. Transmission flush completed on 3 different times and software update did not eliminate the transmission shutter/judder shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. If I am going up a moderate hill when accelerating the shutter is very apparent.
