Acura RDX trim levels explained

By CarWhere Research · Updated

The 2026 Acura RDX comes in five versions: RDX ($45,100), Technology Package ($47,700), A-Spec ($50,700), Advance Package ($52,850) and A-Spec with Advance Package ($54,850), before a $1,550 destination charge. All share the 272-hp 2.0L turbo, 10-speed automatic and SH-AWD; A-Spec trims add sport styling and 20-inch wheels.

Current RDX trim levels: RDX 3rd generation (2026 model year)

Every 2026 RDX has the same powertrain, so trims differ in equipment and styling. Prices are from Acura's Sept. 1, 2026 release and match the October 2025 launch MSRPs. Acura plans to suspend 2026 RDX production later in 2026 ahead of a hybrid fourth generation in 2028.[1][2][3]
