Every year, automakers debut new vehicles at the prestigious Monterey Car Week. This year, Acura's turn was to showcase an exciting upcoming vehicle. In late 2026, the automaker plans to debut the Acura RSX, a new electric vehicle. The RSX is an innovative vehicle in many respects, including being Acura's first-ever exclusive electric car, which is not made in partnership with any other brand.
About the RSX
The RSX is not a new name for those familiar with Acura's historic lineup. The original RSX was a sporty coupe that existed in the early 2000s. The RSX returns to the auto scene with a bold and contemporary new look and an innovative electric powertrain to match. Acura has yet to release specific details about the RSX's performance capabilities. However, the automaker gave enthusiasts a glimpse of the RSX at this year's Car Week in Monterey, CA.
The RSX returns to the market with an updated appearance, including a sloping roofline, sculpted sides, and an overall aerodynamic design. It will also have flush door handles and a ducktail-style spoiler in the back. Dramatic lighting is also in store for the RSX, which will have sleek Daytime Running Lights and LED headlamps. The RSX will also ride with eye-catching 21-inch rims and red brake calipers.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Acura RSX will also have many salient features that consumers can enjoy while they're driving. Those seeking a sporty and performance-oriented electric vehicle will appreciate the RSX's sporty features, including Brembo brakes and standard all-wheel drive. Acura will also outfit the RSX with dual electric motors for range and performance.
Acura has yet to provide specific details about the infotainment and technology in the new RSX, but it has noted that the RSX will be equipped with an ASIMO OS system, an integrated operating system for onboard infotainment and advanced driver-assist safety aids. Using this novel technology from Acura, drivers and occupants will be able to customize their settings for a personalized experience.
Like many Acura vehicles, the RSX will contain both domestic and internationally sourced components.
