What's New for the 2026 Acura RDX?
No major changes have been added to the 2026 model year.
What Are the 2026 RDX Trims & Features?
Acura offers the RDX in five primary trim levels: RDX, RDX Technology, RDX A-Spec, RDX Advance, and RDX A-Spec Advance. The base RDX remains one of the segment's strongest values, arriving well-equipped with luxury amenities. Notable standard items include a 10.2-inch full HD center display with wireless smartphone connectivity, a panoramic moonroof, and power-adjustable heated front seats.
Stepping up to the Technology trim adds more premium touches. Perforated Milano leather upholstery enhances the cabin's look and feel, while GPS-linked climate control ensures ideal interior temperatures are maintained. The Technology package also includes a 12-speaker premium audio system, Iconic Drive ambient LED cabin lighting, and 3D navigation.
The RDX A-Spec gives the SUV a sportier presence through aggressive bodywork and wider 20-inch wheels. Inside, a flat-bottom steering wheel reinforces the athletic character of the cockpit. This trim also brings ventilated front seats and a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D sound system for an enhanced in-cabin experience.
Equipped with an adaptive suspension, the RDX Advance focuses on refined handling and a smoother ride. Premium upgrades on this trim include a 10.5-inch head-up display, 16-way power-adjustable front seats, and a surround-view camera system.
At the top is the RDX A-Spec Advance, which effectively merges the performance styling of A-Spec with the luxury features of the Advance. Exclusive 20-inch multi-spoke wheels further distinguish this range-topper.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 RDX Have?
Power comes from a 2.0-liter, turbocharged VTEC four-cylinder engine that produces 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters handles gear changes, and every RDX comes fitted with Acura's torque-vectoring Super Handling AWD system to improve traction and cornering.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 RDX Include?
Every 2026 RDX arrives with AcuraWatch, a suite of intelligent safety technologies. The Collision Mitigation Braking System can automatically react to an imminent frontal impact, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow helps manage stop-and-go traffic. Additional standard safety features include a Blind Spot Information System, Pedestrian Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Lane Keeping Assist.
