At the heart of the 2026 Acura RDX is a meticulously engineered 2.0-liter turbocharged VTEC engine that delivers 272 horsepower. This direct-injection powerplant is paired with a refined 10-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift paddle shifters, providing seamless acceleration and precise control.

Drivers in Kissimmee will appreciate how the RDX combines the versatility of an SUV with sports-sedan-like handling.
