2026 Acura RDX Shopping Overview near Columbus, OH

Performance & Capability for Every Mile

Every 2026 Acura RDX is engineered to engage. The 2.0L VTEC® Turbo engine delivers 272 horsepower through a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission, while the Integrated Dynamics System lets you tailor the drive with Comfort, Normal, Snow, and Sport. Choose available SH-AWD® for advanced torque vectoring that enhances cornering confidence and traction, and lean into the available Adaptive Damper System for a ride that’s plush on the commute yet buttoned-down when the road turns engaging. With a max towing capacity of 1,500 pounds and precise steering and braking systems, the RDX balances performance, control, and capability in a way that feels premium yet practical mile after mile.

The 2026 Acura RDX interior blends premium craftsmanship with intuitive technology. From the moment you settle in, the cabin feels tailored to you—brushed aluminum accents, available open-pore wood trim, and the available A-Spec® Ultrasuede™-trimmed seating create a distinctly athletic ambiance. The standard Panoramic Moonroof expands the sense of space, while the True Touchpad Interface™ ensures precise, eyes-up control of your apps and settings on a crisp 10.2-inch display. Audiophiles can opt for the ELS Studio 3D® system, engineered by a Grammy Award–winning producer, delivering a wide, detailed soundstage with 16 speakers, including four in the headliner. Practicality remains core to the experience—split-folding rear seats and cleverly designed underfloor storage help you adapt cargo space to your day, whether you’re packing for a road trip or loading up after a stop at Easton.

AcuraWatch™ equips every 2026 RDX with a robust list of safety and driver-assistive technologies. Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) can help apply brake pressure when a potential frontal impact is detected, while Road Departure Mitigation helps keep you centered and on course. Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow eases highway driving and stop-and-go traffic around Columbus, and Lane Keeping Assist helps reduce fatigue on longer stretches of I-70 or I-71. Add in the Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor for day-to-day confidence in dense parking lots. Shoppers can further enhance visibility and low-speed safety with the available Multiview Camera System and Low Speed Braking Control. It’s a thoughtfully integrated suite that prioritizes awareness and driver confidence without getting in the way.

When you compare the 2026 Acura RDX with other luxury crossovers, the competitive edge is clear. Against SUVs like the Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, the RDX brings more standard horsepower; the Panoramic Moonroof is standard here but often optional elsewhere; and with up to 79.8 cubic feet of cargo space, the RDX provides the usable room that many shoppers want. Audiophiles will appreciate the available ELS Studio 3D® system, which offers more speakers than some competitors, including the Volvo XC60. Most notably, SH-AWD® with advanced torque vectoring gives the RDX a planted, confident feel exiting corners—something you notice merging onto SR-315 or navigating the I-70/I-71 split in Columbus. This is a premium sport crossover that not only checks the boxes but elevates the drive with thoughtful engineering and everyday versatility.
