How much gas does an Acura RDX hold?
The Acura RDX typically holds about 15.3 gallons (58 liters) of gasoline in its fuel tank on current models. This mid‑teens capacity has remained fairly consistent across recent generations, influencing how often you’ll refuel. This article breaks down the capacity for the current generation, what it means for range, and practical considerations for owners.
Current-generation capacity
The latest RDX generation, introduced for 2022, uses a fuel tank capacity of 15.3 gallons (58 liters). This capacity is standard across most markets for both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. The figure refers to the total tank capacity, not the usable fuel, since a small portion is reserved to prevent running completely dry.
For quick reference, the following points summarize the main numbers and their implications:
- Current generation (2022–present): 15.3 gallons (58 L) capacity
- Recent generations typically show a similar capacity within the mid‑teens (roughly 15.1–15.3 gallons / 57–58 L)
- Usable fuel vs total capacity: a small reserve remains unused to protect the engine and fuel system
In summary, the RDX’s fuel tank sits in the mid-teens, a design choice that balances driving range with refueling convenience for everyday use.
What this means for range and daily use
With a tank of about 15.3 gallons, the driving range depends on the model’s fuel economy, which varies by drivetrain, driving conditions, and style. In real-world driving, most owners will refuel every few hundred miles, with the exact interval differing based on whether you’re mostly on highways or navigating city streets.
Summary
The Acura RDX holds roughly 15.3 gallons (58 liters) of gasoline in its fuel tank on current models, with little variation across recent generations. This capacity, paired with the vehicle’s efficiency, determines refueling frequency and overall daily practicality for drivers.
