Acura Teases the Upcoming RSX Ahead of Monterey Car Week Reveal
Acura revived the Integra nameplate a few years ago, marking the return of the sporty car to the automaker’s lineup, but its most recent revival doesn’t follow the same formula as the vehicle that wore the badge before. The RSX is returning as an electric crossover that competes with the Tesla Model Y, and Acura recently teased the upcoming EV.
The electric RSX will debut at this year’s Monterey Car Week in California, and Acura’s teaser images show a vehicle with styling elements similar to the Performance EV concept seen last year. It features slim LED daytime running lights in the upper front fascia, with the headlights mounted lower on either side of the grille. We can also see an illuminated Acura logo.
The RSX isn’t Acura’s first EV, but it will be the first to ride on Honda’s in-house electric vehicle platform. The Acura ZDX and Honda Prologue are built by GM on its Ultium platform, making the move to a Honda-developed architecture a big deal. It will also feature Honda’s Asimo operating system, which handles the advanced driver-assistance systems and autonomous driving aids.
We don’t have pricing or exact release dates for the RSX yet, but it’s expected to be the first vehicle in production at Honda’s EV hub in Ohio. Sales are expected to begin in the latter half of 2026.

Fastback SUVs. The height of stupidity. Ruin the outward rear visibilty. Ruin ~1/2 carrying capacity. Make one-buy one? Unimpressive brainpower.
