TLX Production Ending Announced
Acura said TLX production would conclude that month, removing the sedan from a defensible 2027 forecast unless a future revival is announced.
Read the Acura announcementAcura hasn't announced the full 2027 lineup. The ADX, Integra and MDX have the strongest continuation cases for returning. Acura has confirmed a fourth-generation RDX Hybrid without assigning it a model year, while the TLX, ZDX and proposed RSX EV no longer belong in a current 2027 forecast.
This guide explains the evidence behind every status, distinguishes current-model facts from future-model projections and identifies the next official update needed before an expectation can be treated as confirmed.
Research current through · Manufacturer announcements receive priority over forecasts and renderings.
There is no final 2027 Acura catalog yet. The most defensible working lineup is ADX, Integra and MDX as likely continuations, with the next-generation RDX Hybrid tracked separately as a confirmed future vehicle whose model year remains unassigned.
No single Acura release establishes the entire model-year catalog.
Their product age, recent updates and portfolio roles support the strongest carryover cases.
The vehicle and two-motor hybrid system are confirmed, but the model year is not.
Production ended for TLX and ZDX, and Honda canceled the proposed RSX EV.
Manufacturer-confirmed: Directly supported by an official Acura or Honda announcement.
Likely continuation: A product-cycle assessment based on launch timing, recent updates or a central lineup role.
Details pending: Model year, trims, features, specifications, ratings or timing Acura has not published.
Ended or canceled: Production is over, or the manufacturer has abandoned the proposed program.
| Model | Status | What Is Known | Still Unknown |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acura ADX | Expected | Recently launched compact premium SUV; continued into 2026. | 2027 confirmation, trims, changes, ratings and arrival timing. |
| Acura Integra | Expected | Refreshed for 2026 with styling, cabin and technology updates. | 2027 trims, colors, equipment, specs and timing. |
| Integra Type S | Not confirmed | Still offered in the current Integra performance range. | 2027 return, equipment and performance details. |
| Acura MDX | Expected | Current three-row premium SUV and Acura flagship. | 2027 trims, technology, design, ratings and timing. |
| MDX Type S | Not confirmed | Still offered in the current MDX range. | 2027 return, equipment, specs and timing. |
| Next-Generation RDX Hybrid | Confirmed future | Fourth generation and two-motor hybrid system confirmed. | Model year, design, output, ratings, trims and arrival date. |
| Acura TLX | Not expected | Production concluded in July 2025. | No replacement or revival announced. |
| Acura ZDX | Not expected | Production ended in 2025. | No replacement or revival announced. |
| Acura RSX EV | Canceled | Development and launch canceled in March 2026. | The proposed vehicle is no longer planned. |
Acura said TLX production would conclude that month, removing the sedan from a defensible 2027 forecast unless a future revival is announced.
Read the Acura announcementHonda confirmed that the Acura ZDX had ended production, so it should not be carried into a current 2027 model list.
Read the production reportAcura confirmed a new RDX with a two-motor hybrid-electric system and said the current-generation 2026 RDX would have production suspended later in 2026.
Read the Acura announcementHonda canceled development and market launch of the Acura RSX along with two proposed Honda EVs planned for North America.
Read the Honda announcementThe prototype supplied broader context for Acura's next-generation hybrid system and platform, but it did not establish a separate production nameplate or final specifications.
Read the Acura prototype releaseAcura introduced new exterior, interior and lighting themes and connected their first production influence to the fourth-generation RDX Hybrid.
Read the Acura design releaseDirect answer: a 2027 Acura ADX is plausible, but Acura has not announced it. The ADX joined the U.S. lineup for 2025 and was carried into 2026, placing the compact SUV near the beginning of its product cycle.
That timing makes an immediate disappearance or full redesign less likely than continued production. This is a product-cycle judgment, not a substitute for an official 2027 press release, specification sheet or dealer ordering guide.
Current baseline source: 2026 Acura ADX specifications and features
Direct answer: the Integra is a strong continuation candidate, but neither the standard 2027 Integra nor the 2027 Integra Type S has been officially announced.
Acura refreshed the Integra for 2026 with a larger standard 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration and charging, revised A-Spec styling and new color choices. A recent refresh supports continued availability more strongly than another immediate full redesign, while still leaving the 2027 trim structure open.
Likely to continue based on the 2026 refresh, but final 2027 trims, colors, equipment and specifications remain unknown.
Possible because it remains in the current range, but Acura has not confirmed its 2027 return or future performance specifications.
Current baseline source: Acura's 2026 Integra refresh announcement
Direct answer: the MDX is likely to remain part of Acura's lineup, but Acura has not published a full 2027 MDX announcement. Its established three-row role and current breadth make it a stronger continuation case than an unannounced new nameplate.
The current MDX range includes front-wheel-drive and SH-AWD configurations, plus the performance-focused MDX Type S. Those facts show how the vehicle is positioned today, but they do not confirm the 2027 trim mix, technology, design revisions, power figures or fuel-economy ratings.
The key evidence will be Acura's 2027 trim table and specifications sheet. That release will establish whether MDX Type S continues, whether any technology or design changes arrive and whether the drivetrain lineup remains the same.

The hybrid RDX is confirmed. The 2027 model-year label is not. Acura announced a fourth-generation RDX with a two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain and described market introduction as occurring within the next couple of years.
In May 2026, Acura displayed a Hybrid SUV Prototype during Honda's global business briefing. The prototype connects Acura to a broader next-generation hybrid system and platform program, but Acura did not announce it as a separate production nameplate or publish final vehicle specifications.
Honda says its wider plan includes 15 next-generation hybrid models globally by the end of the fiscal year ending March 2030, with much of the rollout focused on North America. Honda also described program-level goals that include more than a 10 percent fuel-economy improvement and a newly developed electric all-wheel-drive unit.
Those are platform and program targets. Acura has not confirmed that every target, component or performance figure will apply to the production RDX in exactly the same form.
New hybrid system and platform, 15-model global plan, efficiency target and electric AWD development.
Fourth-generation nameplate, two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain and intended arrival within the next couple of years.
Acura unveiled NEXERA Vision on August 13, 2026 as a design study. Its most useful production connection is Acura's statement that the new design language and lighting signature will begin influencing production vehicles with the fourth-generation RDX Hybrid.
Acura concluded TLX production in July 2025. No 2027 TLX or direct replacement carrying the TLX name has been announced.
Honda confirmed that ZDX production ended. Acura has not announced a future ZDX replacement or a return of the nameplate for 2027.
Honda canceled development and the planned North American market launch in March 2026. The proposed vehicle is no longer part of the announced roadmap.
Acura has not published one shared 2027 rollout calendar. The most reliable timing will arrive model by model, which means a single rumored release date should not be applied across ADX, Integra, MDX and the next-generation RDX Hybrid.
Jeffrey Acura will have a firm answer only after Acura issues model-specific information and participating dealers receive ordering or allocation guidance. Until then, exact reservation, production and arrival dates should remain labeled unknown.
Future-model research is useful for planning, but current ADX, Integra, MDX and RDX vehicles can be evaluated now when available. Use individual listings to verify the exact equipment, drivetrain and availability associated with a specific vehicle.
