2026 Acura RDX: Premium Performance for Life in Motion
The 2026 Acura RDX is a precision-crafted luxury SUV that raises the bar for what a sport crossover can deliver in performance, comfort, and technology. McGrath Acura of Downtown Chicago is proud to carry the full Acura RDX lineup for drivers throughout the city and surrounding area. Here is a closer look at what sets it apart.
Powertrain, Performance, and Exterior Design
Under the hood of every 2026 Acura RDX sits a 2.0-liter turbocharged VTEC Turbo® engine producing 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Standard SH-AWD® — Acura's torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system — distributes power between all four wheels in real time, sharpening cornering response and maximizing traction in Chicago's variable weather. The result is a drive that feels athletic and assured in equal measure.
The 2026 Acura RDX carries a sculpted exterior defined by the signature Diamond Pentagon grille, bold character lines, and available 20-inch wheels on the Acura RDX A-Spec® Package.
Interior Features
Inside, the 2026 Acura RDX offers beautifully sculpted comfort with available full-grain Premium Milano leather seating, brushed aluminum trim, and available open-pore wood accents. A standard panoramic moonroof opens the cabin to natural light, and up to 79.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume with the rear seats folded makes this new Acura SUV as practical as it is refined. Available Iconic Drive™ Ambient Cabin Lighting brings customizable LED schemes inspired by famous racing circuits directly into the cabin.
Technology Features
The 2026 Acura RDX centers its technology around a 10.2-inch full HD center display with wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility and a wireless charging pad, which is standard on all but the base trim level. Standard AcuraWatch™ delivers a comprehensive driver assistance suite including the Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Lane Keeping Assist System. The available Acura RDX Advance Package adds 3D navigation and a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D® Premium Audio system for a truly elevated cabin experience.
