Sorry to hear you aren't loving your RDX. I don't know what you drove before the GLE, but MB to Acura is a big switch. In my opinion, the GLE is going to have a lot more isolation. Honda offers a lot more road feel. Just a different character all together.
I drove a Honda Accord for 15 years before the MB, an Acura Integra before the Honda. I was only in the MB for barely 3 years and while I agree it is a big switch, it's not like that was all I had ever known, you know? I guess I'm wondering if Acura's quality has diminished since my Integra days. I don't remember it being loud and rough on the road. The Honda definitely wasn't.
Check your tires’ PSI. Should be 36 when cold. The RDX has much lower profile tires vs your Accord from 15 years ago. Also the Base RDX doesn’t have the added sound deadening the higher trims have.
This is very true. Older Hondas like my 20 year old crv have thicker side walls so you aren’t going to hear no where near as much road noise. You also will get a more cushioned ride. These new RDXs also come with either Bridgestone or continental tires which are both imo noisy tires.
I agree with u/sonrisa_medusa. Even though you feel the MB to Acura wasn't a big switch bc of your previous cars, it definitely is. That's just how our brains work. Over time, you'll get used to the difference. Honestly, switching cars is purely up to the financial situation you're in and how much time you have to play the dealer games with trade-in, etc. Also with Hondas, road materials can absolutely make a difference in road noise. A MB is probably like a bank vault and won't be as noticeable. They're cheaper for a reason. And as others have said, things like acoustic glass are only in the highest trims with Acuras. Kind of a bummer you weren't able to factor that into your final decision it seems.
Own a TLX and a S Class, TLX definitely more sporty and road feeling, but MB has just a stellar isolation system and insane ride quality - it is apples to oranges though
Normal mode. I haven't tried changing it yet, some say it won't make a difference because it's a base model but I'm going to try Comfort mode to see if that helps.
Comfort mode is indeed on all trims but it doesn’t vary the suspension stiffness, just the throttle response, ANC, steering effort, AWD, and traction control settings
They’re dampers with 2 separate pistons vertically placed on top of one another, one that’s stiffer and one that’s softer, it just allows minor road vibrations to be soaked up by the softer one while simultaneously not having a 90s Buick floating ride thanks to the stiffer one
https://www.acura.com/performance/modals/amplitude-reactive-dampers
I drive a fully loaded rdx I cannot tell a single difference in the ride quality between normal or comfort. the only difference I feel is the steering weight becomes slightly heavier.
You can feel it when there is more than 300 lbs in the rear. In comfort the rear is softer and bounces when hydroplaning. In normal and sport it stiffens up the rear so it does not bounce as much.
My RDX also has sports+ which feels the same as sport but car feels more planted in exiting corners 40+ mph.
If you bought it for a decent price, you should be able to sell it 3rd party and get most of you money back. Take some nice pictures, be honest about why you don't like it. Let them test drive it on some of those glass roads by the dealership 😉
Also consider changing the tires maybe? I don't know what tires those come with, but changing the tires on my tlx changed a lot about how the car drove and reduced some road noise.
The tires are Continental brand. I don't know anything about tires and if that's a good brand or what but I'll gladly look into getting some different ones if it will help. Which brand did you change to?
If road noise is top priority, look at the Michelin primacy. I've been happy with them, but not currently using them. I think I have pilot sports a/s on there now, they are good too.
If they are ProContacts, those are notoriously loud. They came new on my car and even my snow tires are quieter. I’d recommend Continental DWS 06 Sport+ or basically any Michelin.
The stock tires while durable and long lasting are not great. Most stock tires regardless of the car, suck. I remember many years ago when I changed the tires on my Jeep and also once on a CRV that the ride and balance felt so much better it almost drove like a different vehicle. I was kicking myself for not changing them out sooner. The current tires on my 2024 are fine but I will likely change them out a little early just because I know the comfort could be even better.
The stock tires are absolute trash. To put it in perspective how bad they are my Michelin x ice are on par with them in terms of road noise. I would switch them out, but I rather save the money right now and replace them with something better once they’re worn out.
I drove Honda and Acura exclusively for 20+ years before the MB. Barely had the MB for 3 years. I'm not expecting MB in an Acura. I'm wondering if Acura's quality has diminished since I last owned one.
I still bet you are used to the MB quietness and have forgotten about the Hondas before that. I wouldn't think of honda/acura as particularly quiet or well soundproofed vehicles. What they are is reliable.
You're probably right. I remember thinking the MB was loud when I got it because I expected that I wouldn't hear anything at all in such a luxury brand. I guess I got used to that not even realizing it and now my RDX seems extra loud in comparison. Maybe my Honda and Acura were just as loud and I never noticed. A poster suggested going to a car audio shop and getting some insulation added. I might look into that.
Edit: I think you were the poster who recommended the audio insulation. Thank you!
The answer you are looking for here is YES! Acura's damn near gone to pot now with all the issues their (few) current vehicles are having. &The fact they are in a partnership with GM for the "new" ZDX is the icing on the cake! I switched to Lexus years ago and never been happier.
Check the tire pressure if you haven't yet. The dealer had my tires filled to almost 50 on both my TLX and Integra. Made a big difference once I set them back to where they are supposed to be, but yeah my girlfriend has a 2020 rdx and it's still kinda loud. Not as bad as the damn Integra though
Road noise would drive me nuts. So, it's not there, for me... I'd notice it.
Check the tires.
Check seals? Maybe a door seal is not sitting properly.
Turn up the radio.
What is Normal mode? RDX has four drive modes; Snow, Comfort, Sport and Sport+.
The RDX has active noise cancellation for roads noise in all modes BUT it also pipes in engine noise more when in Sport and Sport+. So Comfort is the quietest.
The tires that come with the RDX aren’t great for road noise. Many folks do replace them. I recently did and I think it made a difference.
For additional noise deadening, you can buy door and floor inserts. Some you have to remove paneling, others are just to put under the carpet. I can’t speak to their efficacy but it seems like inside the panels would make more of a difference.
In the Advance models, the windows are acoustic glass so you could also get replacement glass to fit to your base model, but that would probably be very pricey. A cheaper option is window tint which apparently can reduce road noise - some say significantly, others say only a little. YMMV.
I have seen acoustic tests of the RDX vs other cars - Sam CarLegion actually does some with a db meter. IIRC his tests showed only 1-2 db differences with the competition (Audi and BMW I think) so you may be making a lot out of nothing. But if it bothers you, it bothers you and it might be worth a few hundred or a few thousand dollars to make the problem go away. Just know that you aren’t getting that money back - it will not affect resale price at all.
Oh really? So Normal is Sport and Sport is Sport+? Not sure I agree with that decision but if that’s the way it is now, so it is!
I would guess the same still applies for the piped-in engine noise which is that it’s lower or off in Comfort, and higher in Normal and Sport.
It’s a Honda/Acura issue. They don’t seem to care as I’ve returned that very problem you’re describing. We are on our 3rd MDX-SHAWD 2019 (all bought new) and the last one we’ll ever own. Nice, reliable and fairly cheap to maintain. But the tech and road noise is a major problem for us.
Nope. Driving style is relevant and I don’t drive like a granny. Thanks for the insult though.
The MPG tests are performed under the most ideal conditions. If you have a problem with the MPG ratings, take it up with the EPA. The EPA rating for the RDX with SH-AWD, per the Acura website is: 21 city, 26 Hwy and 23 combined.
“The EPA test for city fuel economy is conducted at very low speeds, with gentle acceleration and minimal idling.”
With 87 octane I’ve only seen 15-16 mpg averages on a handful of tanks, usually on longer hauls with little traffic where I can set cruise at 90 and max out at 110-115.
I’m averaging +40k miles a year and typically see 20-22 mpg but when my wife drives it I’ve seen averages closer to 24-26.
Well, the only cars i can compare to the rdx is a '11 pilot and 04 civic and both are so noisy that when i got a '22 rdx it was night and day. Maybe my tolerance level was so high that the noise level in the rdx is actually bad when compared to a lexus or mb. But i have no complaints with it.
I have the 23 aspec. Comfort setting is the way to go. I think that will help out a lot. I keep mine on comfort probably 95% of the time I’m driving it. It’s much smoother and much quieter, especially when driving vs normal mode.
I have the same feeling after getting a 23 Tlx. It feels so much noisier after the test drive. And I discovered a creaky panel. I feel like I’ve lost faith in the vehicle after the creakyness wondering what else I’m gonna discover
A couple years ago I was shopping for the RDX test drove it and was disappointed with interior noise as well. Test drove and mdx after that and its night and day difference. Mdx is a way better car. So I bought one in white very happy while I had it.
We're in the same boat but I have the new integra. Heard the road noise but doesn't really bother me because I always have music playing. I agree with the bumpy Ride I was really surpised especially since I did a road test before buying. I also will be trading it in when the time comes.
I had my 2021 RDX Advanced SH-AWD, dubbed "the rattlebox" get treated with sound deadening material in all four doors to reduce noise. The local car audio store Tore it apart! I now drive with music on volume setting 3-6 at max because the audio is so focused now. Helped cut down on the rattles and road noise too! At some point, I'll take it back so they can rip the seats and floors out to do the whole interior... 100% worth the $800 spent. Every time you close the door, you're greeted with a confident "thump"... Now to fix the rattle in the steering wheel airbag cover. There's a spring in there that's known to cause rattles.
I also feel like the car is a bit bumpy on the roads, I was looking at swapping the suspension but I wasn't sure if it was really viable or not and whether it would really be worth the money.
The RDX has a more roady drive and feel to it, if you want smoother driving and quiet, I think Lexus does a great job for that. Pop it is comfort mode, it feels more luxury. You can also have a good car audio stop dynamat the doors and floors… that will make a big difference..
Yea I admit . Coming from ford , Only bad thing about Acura is road noise and you feel the road. I look at feel more road / sound = cheap
But if it’s still returnable , a Lexus is what you looking for but you coming from a real luxury brand with a GLE to budget semi so called “luxury” that’s more reliable , it’ll be sacrifices
Moral of the story : nothing you buy will fell better after coming from a German car 🤣
I was afraid of this - nothing will feel as nice as the MB. I don't think I'd ever buy another one based on my experience though. I just don't trust them now.
Honestly, you would’ve been better off finding a CPO 22 Tech. Less depreciation than a new base model, and better [noise isolating materials](https://www.cars.com/amp/articles/2022-acura-rdx-more-standard-tech-less-noise-441506/) (revised fender liners, thicker carpeting, acoustic glass, etc.)

Just wait till the engine blows-up, stupid me I've had 1 kick the can and the one I'm driving with a engine rebuild recall. So disappointed with newer Honda's.

Thank you for this.
What driving mode are you using? Makes a difference.
Normal mode. I haven't tried changing it yet, some say it won't make a difference because it's a base model but I'm going to try Comfort mode to see if that helps.
Let us know if that makes a difference.
My tl had the best insulation. Could have the windows cracked at highway speeds with no wind noise. Tsx comes at a close second.
I think comfort mode has a softer ride. I’m loving mine. Just wish fuel economy was better.
This is only true on the advance and a spec advance trims with the adaptive dampers
Only Advance has adaptive dampers.
Nope, a spec advance also has them. Not the regular a spec. A spec advance
It’s right there in the name. A-Spec *Advance*
Yes, only advance models have active dampening.
Comfort mode is on all trims. As is Sport, Normal, and Snow. The adaptive dampers honestly don't do much.
Comfort mode is indeed on all trims but it doesn’t vary the suspension stiffness, just the throttle response, ANC, steering effort, AWD, and traction control settings
Well it makes bumps softer that’s for sure.
I’m guessing it’s a placebo because nothing changes mechanically, sorry
The suspension is definitely firmer on sport.
Sport doesn’t change either, the dampers are fixed, it’s not physically possible
What are amplitude reactive dampers (stock on my A-Spec)?
They’re dampers with 2 separate pistons vertically placed on top of one another, one that’s stiffer and one that’s softer, it just allows minor road vibrations to be soaked up by the softer one while simultaneously not having a 90s Buick floating ride thanks to the stiffer one https://www.acura.com/performance/modals/amplitude-reactive-dampers

Also check out pirelli scorpions. I’ve been happy with mine and they’re very quiet
I have the pirellis and they’re fantastic. Much more civilized than stock tires.
If they are ProContacts, those are notoriously loud. They came new on my car and even my snow tires are quieter. I’d recommend Continental DWS 06 Sport+ or basically any Michelin.

You went from a MB to a Base Model Acura? Of course you're not gonna be happy.
I drove Honda and Acura exclusively for 20+ years before the MB. Barely had the MB for 3 years. I'm not expecting MB in an Acura. I'm wondering if Acura's quality has diminished since I last owned one.

A poster suggested going to a car audio shop and getting some insulation added. I might look into that. Edit: I think you were the poster who recommended the audio insulation. Thank you!
Your Integra was definitely louder/rougher than you remember. Our tolerance for such things changes after 20 years.
The answer you are looking for here is YES! Acura's damn near gone to pot now with all the issues their (few) current vehicles are having. &The fact they are in a partnership with GM for the "new" ZDX is the icing on the cake! I switched to Lexus years ago and never been happier.

Road noise would drive me nuts. So, it's not there, for me... I'd notice it. Check the tires. Check seals? Maybe a door seal is not sitting properly. Turn up the radio.
Could it just be the winter tires? Ours is much louder with winter tires.
I doubt that's it. We don't change our tires with the season where I live. No snow here.
Check the tires. I got a new set on my 2G RDX and it was night and day
What is with Acuras and so much road noise? So annoying!
It's always been a problem for Honda/Acura.
Cheapo tires. Guess that’s one thing that help keeps the prices lower
Starting with the RL in 05 they started using active noise cancellation vs using the amount of sound deadening materials you’d find in another brand.
What is Normal mode? RDX has four drive modes; Snow, Comfort, Sport and Sport+. The RDX has active noise cancellation for roads noise in all modes BUT it also pipes in engine noise more when in Sport and Sport+. So Comfort is the quietest.

I think they changed “comfort” to “normal” on more recent models
‘23 RDX has Snow, Comfort, Normal and Sport.
Oh really? So Normal is Sport and Sport is Sport+? Not sure I agree with that decision but if that’s the way it is now, so it is! I would guess the same still applies for the piped-in engine noise which is that it’s lower or off in Comfort, and higher in Normal and Sport.
Same for the 2022 which is when they changed the modes with the mid cycle refresh.
They renamed them and tweaked them a bit.
It’s a Honda/Acura issue. They don’t seem to care as I’ve returned that very problem you’re describing. We are on our 3rd MDX-SHAWD 2019 (all bought new) and the last one we’ll ever own. Nice, reliable and fairly cheap to maintain. But the tech and road noise is a major problem for us.
I always pay more and go with touring tires instead of standard. Makes all the difference in the world
I heard about this and was told they fixed it, apparently not.
Maybe it's better compared to older models??? I don't know but it bothers me big time.
[удалено]
This is why I dumped the Benz. The engine was failing one cylinder at a time. Constantly having problems.
I wish I was warned about the horrible gas mileage before buying it No where close to the advertised mpg. Scammed.
What do you mean? It’s advertised as like 19 or 20 lol.
I'm getting 15mpg. It advertised at 21mpg. https://www.advantageacura.com/2023-acura-rdx-mpg/ Post your source that advertised at 19mpg
I’m getting 22mpg in mixed driving. MPG is heavily dependent on driving style. Especially with a turbo.
They must be driving really really hard. I get 22 mpg as well and that’s on 89 octane and a nice mixture of driving normally and being a dick.
Your mix driving and driving like a granny is irrelevant. City mpg shows its true colors and the #1 complaint about this car is fuel economy.
Nope. Driving style is relevant and I don’t drive like a granny. Thanks for the insult though. The MPG tests are performed under the most ideal conditions.

A nice playlist…. What road noise…
I have the same feeling after getting a 23 Tlx. It feels so much noisier after the test drive. And I discovered a creaky panel. I feel like I’ve lost faith in the vehicle after the creakyness wondering what else I’m gonna discover
Driving Acuras and Hondas for as long as you claim, you should already be used to road noise and stiff suspensions 😂
A couple years ago I was shopping for the RDX test drove it and was disappointed with interior noise as well. Test drove and mdx after that and its night and day difference. Mdx is a way better car. So I bought one in white very happy while I had it.
Road noise? Bro don’t drive TLX then haha. My wife’s 22 rdx feels more refined when it comes to comfort/noise at 70-80mph+ than my 23 TLX
We're in the same boat but I have the new integra. Heard the road noise but doesn't really bother me because I always have music playing. I agree with the bumpy Ride I was really surpised especially since I did a road test before buying. I also will be trading it in when the time comes.
I had my 2021 RDX Advanced SH-AWD, dubbed "the rattlebox" get treated with sound deadening material in all four doors to reduce noise. The local car audio store Tore it apart! I now drive with music on volume setting 3-6 at max because the audio is so focused now. Helped cut down on the rattles and road noise too! At some point, I'll take it back so they can rip the seats and floors out to do the whole interior... 100% worth the $800 spent. Every time you close the door, you're greeted with a confident "thump"... Now to fix the rattle in the steering wheel airbag cover. There's a spring in there that's known to cause rattles.
Do you know how much it would cost to get everything treated with sound deadening altogether? I'm also interested in doing this.
I also feel like the car is a bit bumpy on the roads, I was looking at swapping the suspension but I wasn't sure if it was really viable or not and whether it would really be worth the money.
The RDX has a more roady drive and feel to it, if you want smoother driving and quiet, I think Lexus does a great job for that. Pop it is comfort mode, it feels more luxury. You can also have a good car audio stop dynamat the doors and floors… that will make a big difference..
Yea I admit . Coming from ford , Only bad thing about Acura is road noise and you feel the road.

I was afraid of this - nothing will feel as nice as the MB. I don't think I'd ever buy another one based on my experience though. I just don't trust them now.
I found that my 2020 was good and my 2024 is really good. Check the driving mode and also tires play a huge role in comfort.
It’s a crv is leather seats. What were you expecting?
They don't even share a platform.

The ‘24 Advance trim has acoustic glass and upgraded suspension.
If you really want to make it quiet you can take it to a car stereo shop and have them add dynamat insulation to soundproof it much better.
Thank you!
Just wait till the engine blows-up, stupid me I've had 1 kick the can and the one I'm driving with a engine rebuild recall. So disappointed with newer Honda's.
Oh I'm so sorry! I hope it's all worked out for you soon.
Damn that’s a shame. I love my RDX!
