Introduction

Honda has announced its first independently developed electric vehicle (EV), the Acura RSX, slated for release in 2026. The RSX is poised to be a milestone in Honda's electrification journey, debuting the Asimo operating system (OS) and leveraging the automaker's proprietary EV platform.

Rebirth of the RSX Nameplate

The Acura RSX marks the return of a beloved nameplate that first appeared in the early 2000s. Reimagined as a sporty SUV with a coupe-like silhouette, the RSX is inspired by Honda's Performance concept and is set to resonate with enthusiasts seeking thrilling performance and innovative design.

Technology & Platform

Unlike Honda's earlier EVs, such as the Prologue and Acura ZDX, which were based on GM's Ultium platform, the RSX represents a leap forward with Honda's new vehicle platform. At the heart of the RSX lies the Asimo OS, a groundbreaking software-defined vehicle system capable of over-the-air updates to optimize functionality and enhance the driving experience.

The Asimo OS is named after Honda’s iconic humanoid robot and symbolizes the company’s vision of merging advanced robotics with automotive innovation. This system will also be central to Honda's upcoming Honda Zero EV lineup.

Sustainable Production in Ohio

The RSX will be manufactured at Honda’s newly established factory in Ohio, a $4.4 billion joint venture with LG Chem. This facility underscores Honda's commitment to building sustainable and technologically advanced EVs locally. Production is set to begin in late 2025.

What Lies Ahead

With the RSX, Honda is not just reviving a celebrated badge but also setting the stage for a new era of electrification and digital transformation. By combining sleek design, advanced performance, and cutting-edge technology, the Acura RSX exemplifies Honda's ambition to lead in the competitive EV market.

Conclusion

The Acura RSX is more than just an EV; it represents Honda’s fusion of heritage and innovation. As the automotive world shifts toward sustainability and digitalization, the RSX promises to deliver an electrifying blend of style, performance, and groundbreaking technology. Stay tuned for more updates as Honda reshapes its legacy for the EV era.
