2018 Soul Red AWD Touring CX-5
If you don't like the head unit you will have to give up a great deal of the benefits of the GT to change to an aftermarket head unit - or at least you will have very expensive and limited options for the aftermarket head unit capable of handling the factory settings.
Acura RDX is $34.5K, that is a major con of $32K GT CX-5 in my opinion.
That's I went with touring when upgrading from sport. 25K is much better to swallow. I did want cloth seats and 17 inch wheels.
I just hated to pay 8K extra for gizmos that I did not need/want. YMMV of course.

I looked at the RDX as well. Your comparison way off though. Once you add the same trim level, AWD, navigation, etc to the RDX, then the MSRP hits $40, though it can be had in the $38 to $39 range.
They are also very different vehicles. The Accura has a 3.5L V6, and the mpg in the low 20's. It also has less cargo space. For me these were the major drawbacks that let me toward the Mazda

I just wanted to add that the rdx is brutal looking. So even if it was cheaper than my cx5 I still wouldn't want it
You should always consider other vehicles at any price. Assuming she wants the bells and whistles and likes how your car drives its still a great choice imo. Waiting for a 15 might be worth it- worst case you get a sweetheart deal on a leftover 14..
