The RSX is back as an electric crossover, but unlike the ZDX, it rides on Honda’s brand-new EV platform
Nearly 25 years after debuting as the Integra’s successor—a premium spin on the Honda Civic—the Acura RSX returns in a completely different form: an electric crossover with a fastback roof. Set to debut as the RSX Prototype during Monterey Car Week, it previews an upcoming EV.
Unlike the ZDX, which rides on GM’s Ultium architecture, the new RSX is built on Honda’s all-new EV platform, first shown with the Honda 0 Series concepts. It will be produced alongside the gas-powered Integra in Marysville, Ohio—a pairing that would’ve been unthinkable two decades ago.
Although labeled a “prototype,” Honda’s show cars are usually close to production, so expect the final RSX to look much like this one—though the bright yellow paint may not make the options list.
The RSX features dual-motor all-wheel drive, a double-wishbone front suspension, Brembo brakes, and 21-inch wheels. Its wide rear design takes cues from the second-gen NSX. It also introduces Honda’s new ASIMO OS infotainment system, designed as a “software-defined” platform with learning capabilities and over-the-air updates.
Charging comes via a Tesla-style NACS port, and vehicle-to-load capability lets it power external devices.
Performance figures, battery specs, range, and pricing remain unknown, though it will likely undercut the larger ZDX. The wait shouldn’t be long—Honda concepts tend to reach production quickly.
