Interior

Inside the 2026 RDX, you’ll find a cabin engineered for sophistication and driver focus. The entire space is elevated with refined materials, including available genuine wood and brushed aluminum trim, and contrast stitching adds a touch of performance elegance. Drivers will appreciate the redesigned front seats that offer greater support during spirited maneuvers. The cabin is anchored by a larger, standard 10.2-inch HD center display and features a seamless digital experience with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The available Acura/ELS STUDIO 3D® Premium Audio System provides a stunning, 16-speaker listening experience, making every commute a concert.

Exterior

The 2026 RDX features an aggressive exterior styling refresh, giving it a bolder presence that demands attention. The front fascia has been redesigned around a more angular Diamond Pentagon grille, flanked by sleeker Jewel Eye® LED headlights. The rear features updated LED taillights and a reshaped bumper for a sporty, premium appearance. Standard 19-inch wheels confirm its athletic stance, with available 20-inch wheels on A-Spec trims. The RDX projects confidence, ready to handle Michigan weather while looking sharp, whether it’s parked in the heart of Detroit or a suburb like Troy.

Performance

The 2026 RDX receives a significant boost in muscle. The 2.0-liter VTEC turbocharged engine now produces a formidable 280 horsepower, channeled through a quick-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. For those who crave even more inspiring performance, a new Type S variant joins the lineup, boasting 340 horsepower and a sport-tuned suspension. Every RDX is engineered for control with the available torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), which sends power where it’s needed most to maximize grip and agility in corners. The Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) allows you to customize the RDX’s response, from comfort to sport+ mode, for maximum engagement.
