Acura to End RDX Production This Year, Teases Two‑Motor Hybrid Successor

Supplier exits trigger a pause ahead of Acura’s first two-motor hybrid SUV.

Overview

  • Production of the current RDX is scheduled to cease in the spring, with Acura expecting existing inventory to last most of 2026.
  • Acura says several suppliers can no longer provide key parts for the outgoing model, prompting the production stop.
  • The next-generation RDX will be the first Acura to use Honda’s two-motor hybrid system, and a teaser shows a sleeker profile with slim LED headlights, wide rear haunches, and a prominent roof spoiler.
  • Acura gives only a vague timeline, saying the new model will arrive within “a couple of years,” while some outlets report it may not appear until 2028 or later.
  • Honda is retooling its Ohio factory for flexible gas, hybrid, and EV output and says the all-electric Acura RSX remains on track for the second half of this year.
