The Acura RDX has been a top choice for a luxurious yet practical compact crossover SUV. With the arrival of the 2026 Acura RDX, this popular model receives some exciting updates and enhancements. At Acura of the Rio Grande Valley in San Juan, TX, we're thrilled to showcase the differences between the 2025 and 2026 RDX models.
Exterior Styling Refresh
For 2026, the Acura RDX gets a bold new look to turn even more heads on the roads of Edinburg, TX. The front fascia has been redesigned with a more angular Diamond Pentagon grille, flanked by sleeker Jewel Eye LED headlights. The rear features updated LED taillights and a reshaped bumper for a sporty, premium appearance. 19-inch wheels now come standard, with available 20-inch wheels to further elevate the already striking stance.
Refined Interior
Inside the cabin, the 2026 Acura RDX delights with enhanced sophistication and technology. Drivers in McAllen will appreciate the redesigned front seats that provide greater comfort and support. Genuine wood and brushed aluminum trim adorn the interior, while contrast stitching adds a touch of elegance. A larger 10.2-inch HD center display is now standard, and the available Head-Up Display projects key information onto the windshield.
Performance Enhancements
The 2026 Acura RDX receives a boost in power. The 2-liter VTEC turbocharged engine now produces 280 horsepower, an increase of 20 hp over the previous model. For those in Mission, TX who crave even more inspiring performance, a new Type S variant joins the lineup, boasting 340 horsepower and sport-tuned suspension. The smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission carries over, as does the available torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system for superior control and agility.
Advanced Safety Features
Acura has always prioritized safety, and the 2026 RDX is no exception. The AcuraWatch suite of driver-assistive technologies, including Collision Mitigation Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keeping Assist, is now standard across all trims. Blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert also comes standard, providing added peace of mind for Brownsville, TX drivers.
