How big is the 2024 RDX gas tank?
The 2024 Acura RDX uses a 15.9-gallon fuel tank (about 60 liters).
This article explains the tank size, what it means for driving range, and how it compares to rivals in the compact-luxury SUV segment.
Capacity details
According to Acura’s official specifications for the 2024 RDX, the fuel tank capacity is 15.9 gallons. This capacity is consistent across most trims and drivetrain configurations (FWD and AWD). In North American markets, it is typically rounded to 16 gallons in consumer-facing materials, but the precise figure remains 15.9 gallons in official data.
Estimated driving range
Range depends on fuel economy, which varies by engine, drivetrain, and driving conditions. With a tank of 15.9 gallons and typical EPA-estimated mpgs in the low-to-mid 20s combined for the model, the theoretical range on a full tank generally falls in the vicinity of roughly 350 to 430 miles, depending on configuration and driving style. In practice, highway cruising often yields a higher range than city driving.
Comparisons with rivals
Fuel-tank sizes for compact luxury SUVs tend to cluster around 15 to 16 gallons. The 2024 RDX’s 15.9-gallon tank sits comfortably within this common band. Competitors such as the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, and Mercedes-Benz GLC typically offer similar tank capacities, which translates to comparable real-world ranges when matched for mpg.
Implications for ownership
With a 15.9-gallon tank, owners can expect relatively predictable refueling intervals for mixed driving. The key takeaway is that range will track closely with the RDX’s mpg rating: better fuel economy means more miles per tank, while aggressive driving or heavy loads will reduce range and require more frequent stops at the pump.
Summary
The 2024 Acura RDX is equipped with a 15.9-gallon gas tank, roughly 60 liters. This size supports a typical range in the hundreds of miles depending on driving conditions and configuration, and it aligns with the standard tank sizes found in competing compact-luxury SUVs.
