Next-Gen Acura RDX Going Hybrid

Exciting news for luxury SUV enthusiasts in West Warwick, Cranston, and Providence! Acura has confirmed that the all-new fourth-generation Acura RDX will feature a powerful two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain—a first for the model.

At Speedcraft Acura, we know our drivers value both performance and efficiency, and this next step in Acura’s brand strategy delivers on both fronts.

What We Know So Far

Acura recently shared a teaser of the upcoming RDX, signaling a bold new direction for one of its most popular vehicles. Here is what you can expect:

• Hybrid Power: The 4th-gen RDX will utilize a two-motor hybrid-electric system, joining Acura’s growing lineup of gas-powered, hybrid, and EV models.
• Arrival Timeline: This next-generation compact SUV is currently in development and is expected to arrive at dealerships within the next couple of years.
• Production Updates: To prepare for this major shift, production of the current 2026 RDX model will be suspended later this year at the East Liberty Auto Plant in Ohio.

A Legacy of Innovation

As Acura celebrates its 40th anniversary, the introduction of the RDX hybrid marks a special milestone. For nearly two decades, the RDX has been a cornerstone of the Acura lineup, with around 850,000 units sold in North America.

“It’s fitting that the upcoming fourth-generation RDX will be the first Acura to feature our two-motor hybrid-electric system,” said Mike Langel, assistant vice president of Acura National Sales.
