Acura Brings Back the RSX, But Not Everyone Will Like It
A division of the Japanese auto giant Honda has decided to bring back the iconic RSX to its model range. Not without its “nuances” – car will be fully electric and in SUV form.
Acura marketers continue to "revive" the brand's legendary names. However, against the backdrop of the returning Integra and Honda Prelude, the new model is even more radically different from its "progenitor".
The next generation RSX will use a completely new architecture as its platform. Honda representatives presented the latest one at the CES exhibition.

It debuted on prototypes of a sedan and crossover codenamed 0 Series. Japanese engineers point to a significant reduction in the weight of the structure as a key feature.
An equally important component of the platform is the large-scale casting for the intelligent power unit IPU. Work on their production will begin in the American city of Anna after a large-scale modernization of the industrial site.
In addition to using an innovative platform, the RSX will be the first electric car, which will be produced at a new plant called the EV Hub, located in Ohio.

At the moment, it is known that the design of the "electrified" RSX was created on the basis of the Performance EV concept. The exterior of this car vaguely resembles a sports boat.
On the other hand, the only image presented hints at a more conservative appearance of the production model. The rear of the electric crossover will be somewhat similar in style to the BMW X6 SUV or the new Tesla Model Y. Recall that this area of the body in the previous generation is made in the spirit of the NSX model.
The rest of the RSX details are still classified. However, this did not prevent the resonance around the upcoming new product. When information about the registration of the RSX trademark appeared, many fans of the brand were expecting the release of a sports coupe.

As with the Integra, which returned in sedan form, Acura's marketing department is using only the car's name. The dealership commented on its decision:
The new product is already undergoing testing. The full debut of the new RSX is planned for 2026, but the Acura representative office has not yet announced the exact date of the start of sales.

We are sure that RSX is a great name for a new electric car. And yes, the model will not be a “revival” of the iconic coupe of the same name. Moreover, that car was sold on the world market under the name Integra, so this fact does not matter much.
The new product is already undergoing testing. The full debut of the new RSX is planned for 2026, but the Acura representative office has not yet announced the exact date of the start of sales.
