Overview

  • Acura publicly unveiled its RSX Prototype at Monterey Car Week as the first production-intent EV on Honda’s in-house Zero global platform, signaling a shift away from GM-sourced Ultium hardware.
  • The prototype confirms standard dual-motor all-wheel-drive, sport-tuned double-wishbone front suspension and Brembo brakes.
  • The RSX debuts Honda’s ASIMO OS, a software-defined system offering over-the-air updates and machine-learning personalization.
  • Built-in bidirectional charging enables the RSX to serve as mobile energy storage for devices and home backup power.
  • Production will occur at the Marysville, Ohio EV hub with LG Energy Solution supplying batteries, but sources differ on whether assembly starts late 2025/early 2026 or in the second half of 2026.
