Honda's premium arm is set to launch a new battery-electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) this year. The 2026 Acura RSX will be the first all-electric Acura that is not based on a General Motors product.

Acura is bringing back the RSX name, but not as a performance-oriented sport compact coupe. Instead, it's an all-electric crossover based on the Acura Performance EV Concept shown at Monterey last year.

The new RSX will slot right under the existing ZDX electric vehicle in size, and it will be the first EV to be designed by Honda and built at the new Honda EV Hub in Ohio.

The first in-house EV for Acura in the U.S. adopts the RSX name. We knew Acura was working on its first homespun electric vehicle for the North American market, based on the Acura Performance EV Concept.
