Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Acura RDX is a premium sport crossover that families love. Not only does this SUV offer outstanding comfort and head-turning style, but it also delivers an engaging driving experience. When shopping for a new RDX, some people will be deciding between the Technology and Advance trim levels. Here's a rundown of how these two trims compare.
Performance
The RDX Technology and the RDX Advance feature the same dynamic powertrain. Underneath the hood rests a 2.0-liter, VTEC turbo four-cylinder engine. It's rated to push out a stimulating 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. A precise-shifting, 10-speed automatic transmission ensures lively acceleration. Super Handling all-wheel drive is standard on both trims. This AWD system improves grip and enhances the SUV's cornering ability.
One key difference is the Advance trim's adaptive suspension system. This feature adjusts its stiffness based on your selected driving mode, giving you a sportier feel in Sport mode and extra comfort for highway cruising in Comfort mode.
Appearance
The RDX Technology features an aesthetic front side, which boasts Jewel Eye LED headlights and a bold Diamond Pentagon grille. A set of 19-inch machined-finish wheels adds to the SUV's appearance. Several beautiful exterior color options are available, including Performance Red Pearl and Liquid Carbon Metallic. To differentiate the RDX Advance, Acura equips it with exclusive 19-inch wheels.
Features
The RDX's Technology trim offers more than enough luxury for most drivers. Perforated leather upholstery with contrast stitching helps create a premium atmosphere within its interior. You will enjoy its True Touchpad Interface, which features a 10.2-inch full HD center display with wireless smartphone connectivity. Advanced safety innovations, such as low-speed automatic braking, enable you to maneuver through traffic with greater confidence. Other key features include a 12-speaker premium sound system, navigation, a panoramic sunroof, and Iconic Drive ambient cabin lighting.
Acura designed the Advance trim to offer an even more upscale driving experience. While a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D® audio system allows you to enjoy concert-quality sound, a Multiview Camera System makes parking less challenging. Additional upgrades include a 10.5-inch head-up display, upgraded front seats with ventilation, as well as a remote engine start.
