Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 RDX.
The 2026 Acura RDX carries forward the model’s compact luxury SUV lineage with an automatic S10 transmission that achieves an EPA‑rated 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined fuel economy. Its powertrain and chassis remain rooted in the architecture that has defined the RDX since its 2007 debut, while the latest iteration benefits from the program’s steady refinement. Notably, the model’s reliability record shows a dramatic dip in consumer complaints, falling to just ten reports in 2024 after a peak of 431 complaints in 2019, positioning the 2026 version at the low‑end of the historical complaint spectrum and suggesting a comparatively robust year for researchers to examine.
