Acura is reviving the RSX to kick off its new generation of electric vehicles. The sporty electric SUV was spotted at a Tesla Supercharger with NACS port ahead of its official launch.
The new Acura RSX EV is coming in 2026
We got our first look at the new RSX prototype after it was unveiled by Acura during Monterey Car Week in August. This will be the first model built on Honda’s new in-house Zero EV platform.
The new Acura RSX will also be the first electric vehicle built by Honda at its new EV hub in Ohio. It will be built on the same production line as the Acura Integra.
Although it’s called the RSX, the new model abandons the sedan styling for a sporty crossover SUV-like design. Based on Honda’s EV platform, Acura’s designers took full advantage of its flexibility, creating a bold, wide stance and coupe-like silhouette.
The long wheelbase pushes the wheels out while the short overhangs give it a sharp, modern look. An additional ducktail-style rear spoiler, flush door handles and large front Brembo brakes add to the sporty feel.
At the front, the new RSX features a new diamond pentagon grille design and a new different headlight design. Meanwhile, at the rear, there is a full-length light bar and a new ACURA logo on the tailgate.
Ahead of its official launch, the new Acura RSX EV was spotted charging at a Tesla Supercharger with a built-in NACS port.
Although it is still covered in camouflage, Photos from Shubham Gajjar (via) kindleauto) reveal The new coupe sports an SUV-like design, with a rear spoiler and a full-length LED lightbar.
The new Acura RSX EV will also launch with Honda’s new in-house ASIMO OS operating system. Honda said the system will provide a smartphone-like experience while offering new advanced driver-assistance features. It will also use machine learning to provide a more personalized experience.
Acura said the prototype revealed in August was a preview of its next-generation EV, which is set to launch in the second half of 2026.
Although we know it will be equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain, Acura hasn’t offered any other details or battery details.
Honda confirmed that Acura’s current electric SUV, the ZDX, will not return for the 2026 model year, leaving the Prologue as its only EV in the US.
While it prepares for its next-generation models, Honda is offering generous EV rebates, with up to $16,550 off MSRP. You can use our link to find Honda Prologue in your area.
