A Turbocharged Engine Built for the Road

The 2026 Acura RDX is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive acceleration. That's the VTEC Turbo® engine delivering precision-crafted performance on every drive.

Standard SH-AWD® on Every Trim

Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) comes standard across the entire 2026 Acura RDX lineup, providing advanced torque vectoring that sharpens cornering confidence and traction in the varied weather conditions Chicagoland drivers know well.

Sport Mode and Adaptive Dynamics

The available Adaptive Damper system combined with standard IDS drive modes intuitively adjusts performance across a range of conditions, with Sport Mode delivering increased steering firmness, feedback, and more responsive torque vectoring. It's a meaningful difference you feel immediately behind the wheel.

A-Spec® Styling That Means Business

The Acura RDX A-Spec® Package brings gloss black accents, 20-inch Shark Gray alloy wheels, a finned rear diffuser, and larger round exhaust finishers for a sharper, more muscular presence. Inside, an available NSX-inspired Ultrasuede™-trimmed interior reinforces the performance character without sacrificing refinement.
