Turbocharged Power With Smooth Acceleration
Under the hood, the 2026 Acura RDX features a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing approximately 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This power output delivers strong acceleration and confident passing performance while maintaining smooth everyday drivability.
The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that provides quick, refined gear changes. With multiple drive modes available, including Sport mode, drivers can adjust the vehicle’s response to match different driving preferences.
The turbocharged system delivers impressive low-end torque, allowing the RDX to respond quickly when accelerating from a stop or merging onto highways.
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ for Enhanced Control
One of the standout performance features of the RDX is the available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system. This advanced drivetrain can distribute torque between the front and rear wheels while also managing power between the rear wheels.
This technology improves cornering stability by helping the SUV maintain better balance through curves. It also provides additional confidence when driving on wet roads, snow-covered surfaces, or uneven terrain.
The RDX comes equipped with a refined suspension system designed to provide a comfortable ride without compromising handling. Its precise steering and strong chassis contribute to a more engaging driving experience.
Capability That Supports Everyday Needs
Beyond performance, the RDX offers practical strength for active lifestyles. When properly equipped, it can tow up to approximately 1,500 pounds, making it suitable for carrying additional recreational equipment.
Available 19-inch alloy wheels enhance both appearance and road stability, while advanced braking technology delivers reliable stopping performance across different driving conditions.
The SUV’s balanced engineering allows drivers to enjoy athletic handling while maintaining the comfort expected from a luxury vehicle.
