Coming Soon to Brooklyn, NY: 2026 Acura RSX
Meet The Future: 2026 Acura RSX Coming Soon to Brooklyn, NY
The electric era is here, and Acura is charging ahead with its first-ever all-electric performance compact crossover SUV – the 2026 Acura RSX. First unveiled as the Acura RSX Prototype at Monterey Car Week, this bold crossover signals a new chapter not only for the brand but for the luxury electric SUV space as a whole.
With sleek styling, high-tech underpinnings, and performance at the forefront, the new RSX isn’t just another entry in the growing EV market – it’s the start of something different. Acura of Brooklyn is excited to bring this groundbreaking model to our showroom in Brooklyn, NY, and here’s what we know so far.
Sharp Looks, Serious Presence
The RSX doesn’t shy away from standing out. The RSX makes a strong entrance with a coupe-inspired silhouette, wide track stance, and sharply cut body lines. Acura’s exterior design language shines here – futuristic without losing the aggressive edge you expect from a performance SUV.
Signature elements like the illuminated diamond pentagon grille, sleek Chicane™ lighting, and vertical LED tail lamps give it a tech-forward look that’s unmistakably Acura. From front to back, every design detail suggests movement, power, and innovation – even when it’s parked.
Built on the Honda and Acura EV platform, the RSX benefits from a purpose-designed structure that blends form with function – and places it right at home among other Acura models, while offering something refreshingly different.
Powertrain Focused on Performance
The Acura RSX is more than just electric. It’s engineered for exhilaration. While final specs are still under wraps, everything we’ve seen suggests a dual-motor, all-wheel drive layout, quick off-the-line response, and chassis tuning aimed at spirited driving.
Underneath the sleek bodywork is an electric powertrain built on Honda’s global EV architecture, the same platform being used across upcoming EV SUVs from both brands. Expect an EV range competitive with that of leading luxury crossovers and dynamic handling, thanks to independent front suspension and advanced torque management.
This isn’t just about zero emissions – it’s about rethinking what a performance SUV can be in an electric vehicle world.
Inside: Smart, Seamless, Ready for What’s Next
Step into the RSX's cabin, and the future becomes even clearer. Acura has confirmed that this SUV will debut its next-generation operating system, ASIMO OS is named after Honda’s legendary humanoid robot.
That means natural voice interaction, predictive route planning, and a personalized driving experience shaped by your behavior. ASIMO OS is more than infotainment – it’s the brain of the RSX, powering everything from energy management to adaptive drive modes.
Expect clean, minimal design throughout the cabin, with a focus on tactile surfaces, ambient lighting, and technology that feels intuitive – not overwhelming.
Five Things to Know Right Now
- Purpose-Built EV Platform Shared with Honda
- ASIMO OS Interface with Predictive Learning Capabilities
- Sculpted Coupe-Like Exterior with Wide Performance Stance
- Expected Dual-Motor All-Wheel Drive Setup
- Part of Acura and Honda’s EV Hub Strategy
Other expected highlights include DC fast-charging capability, NACS compatibility for public stations, a flat-floor interior for added rear space, home Level 2 charging integration, and premium materials throughout the cabin. Think: Alcantara-style surfaces, panoramic roof, and customizable digital displays.
The RSX's Place in the Acura Lineup
The RSX is positioned to be a true outlier in Acura’s portfolio – the first fully electric SUV from the brand, and a direct signal of where Acura’s headed. It slots below the MDX in size but packs futuristic features that make it feel more forward-thinking than anything before it. This 2026 model reflects earlier concepts like the Acura Precision EV.
Compared to other Acura models, the RSX is more driver-focused than the RDX, more efficient than the MDX, and far more connected than anything Acura has previously brought to market. It also gives buyers a real alternative to the usual suspects – from Tesla to Mercedes EQ, without losing the sense of athleticism Acura is known for.
EV Tech that Works for Real Life
Range anxiety? Acura’s been listening. Thanks to its house EV charging infrastructure – including the EV Hub network co-developed with Honda – the RSX is expected to come ready for both home and public charging. That means fast charging across the country, seamless route planning, and intelligent energy use designed to help you go further.
Behind the scenes, the ASIMO OS works with the RSX's sensors and GPS data to optimize efficiency in real time – a feature that other electric brands are only beginning to explore. Whether you're commuting across Brooklyn or planning a weekend upstate, this EV adapts to how and where you drive. Safety tech isn’t overlooked in this model either, as it’s expected to come fully equipped with AcuraWatch for total peace of mind.
How The RSX Is Changing Expectations
Unlike some EVs that feel like reworked gas models, the RSX was created electric-first. That means more usable space inside, tighter handling from a lower center of gravity, and no compromises in capability.
It’s also backed by the scale and reliability of Honda and Acura, giving it an edge over start-ups and smaller brands. And with NACS fast charging, home-ready compatibility, and seamless software updates, it’s a future-proof electric performance SUV built for today’s driver.
