Engine Specs and Fuel Efficiency
Power and precision define the 2026 Acura RDX, now available for sale here at Acura of Stockton. Beneath the hood, every RDX comes equipped with a refined 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo engine that delivers an impressive 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, paired seamlessly with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, confident acceleration. This engine provides the perfect balance between efficiency and excitement, making the RDX equally at home on city streets or winding highways. The 2026 model enhances the RDX’s already dynamic character with Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system available on all trims, offering exceptional stability, cornering precision, and all-weather capability. The dual-pinion, variable-ratio electric power steering adds responsive feedback, while advanced torque vectoring ensures composed handling through every curve. Drivers can fine-tune their experience using four distinct drive modes—Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Snow—each adjusting steering feel, throttle response, and suspension dynamics to match the moment. Comfort Mode softens the ride for relaxed cruising, while Sport Mode sharpens the RDX’s reflexes for an exhilarating drive. Normal Mode balances efficiency and performance, and Snow Mode boosts traction for confident winter driving. Fuel economy remains competitive in its class, with the 2026 Acura RDX expected to achieve around 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, making it a smart choice for drivers who demand both power and practicality.

The atmosphere inside is serene yet dynamic, thanks to meticulous sound insulation and high-quality soft-touch surfaces that create a truly upscale feel. Acura refines the RDX’s center console for improved usability, adding a more convenient wireless charging pad location, deeper cup holders, and redesigned storage for everyday practicality. The tech-forward cockpit remains driver-focused, with intuitive push-button controls and a new 10.5-inch HD infotainment display featuring faster response times and a cleaner interface. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa Built-In come standard across all trims, providing seamless connectivity. Audiophiles will appreciate the available ELS Studio 3D Premium Audio System, developed by Grammy Award-winning producer Elliot Scheiner, available in both 12- and 16-speaker configurations for an immersive listening experience. Beyond luxury and technology, the 2026 RDX remains impressively practical.
