The 2026 Acura RDX arrives as a premium sport crossover designed for shoppers who want everyday usability with a true enthusiast edge, and that balance is precisely why it shines for Sioux Falls, SD drivers. Think of this page as your local research and buying guide—clear, helpful, and focused on the specifics that matter when you are choosing a compact luxury SUV for busy commutes along I-29 and I-90, family errands on 41st Street, and weekend escapes to Palisades State Park. From its 272-HP VTEC® Turbo engine and available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) to a standard Panoramic Moonroof and sophisticated cabin technology, the 2026 RDX blends performance, comfort, and connectivity into one compelling package. If you are comparing top-tier competitors like Audi Q5, BMW X3, Lexus NX 350, Genesis GV70, Mercedes-Benz GLC, or Volvo XC60, you will quickly see why RDX stands tall—Acura built this SUV to excel in real-world conditions with the features Sioux Falls-area owners ask for most.
Every 2026 Acura RDX is engineered to feel precise and responsive, whether you are merging confidently onto West 12th Street or navigating an early-morning commute on I-90. The 2.0L VTEC® Turbo delivers energetic power you can feel, while the available SH-AWD® system sends torque to the wheels that need it most—enhancing traction and stability when the road surface changes. Four Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) drive modes—Comfort, Normal, Snow, and Sport—let you tailor steering, throttle, and available torque vectoring to your preference. Add the available Adaptive Damper system, and you will appreciate how composed the RDX feels across broken pavement and sweeping highway transitions. With up to 1,500 lbs. of max towing capacity, the RDX is ready for small trailers or light weekend gear, and its dual-pinion, variable-ratio electric power steering and confidence-inspiring iBooster braking help make every mile smoother and more engaging.
Inside the 2026 RDX, the cabin feels airy, refined, and thoughtfully organized. The standard Panoramic Moonroof allows light to flow naturally through the interior without compromising the serene sound insulation. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep your digital life front-and-center, paired to the 10.2-inch HD center display controlled via True Touchpad Interface™—absolute-position input that mirrors the screen, so you can make selections confidently without guesswork. On Technology, A-Spec, Advance, and A-Spec Advance Packages, the available ELS STUDIO 3D® Premium Audio System surrounds you with 16 speakers, including four in the headliner, while Iconic Drive™ Ambient Cabin Lighting and available Milano premium leather or Ultrasuede™ trims add modern sophistication. AcuraLink® Connected Services, Wi-Fi Hotspot capability, and available wireless charging simplify every drive, from quick lunches downtown to longer highway stretches across the Sioux Empire.
Safety and driver assistance are cornerstones of the RDX. Standard AcuraWatch™ brings Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) to enhance awareness and help respond to unexpected events. The suite also includes Pedestrian Detection and Traffic Sign Recognition, with Blind Spot Information System and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor to simplify lane changes and backing out of parking spaces. Low-Speed Braking Control is available to help prevent or reduce the impact of low-speed collisions, while the available Multiview Camera provides a 360-degree perspective—great for tight ramps and garages in downtown Sioux Falls. Together, these systems help make the RDX feel like a partner in your daily routine.

Under the hood, RDX puts down robust power, outmuscling stalwarts like Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC for confident merges on I-29 and quick passes on rural two-lanes. In back, the RDX offers more max cargo volume than the Genesis GV70, making school carpools, hardware store runs, and weekend luggage a simple fit. For audiophiles, the available ELS STUDIO 3D® system provides more speakers than the Volvo XC60, creating a listening experience that feels tailored to your drive. Add available SH-AWD® with its torque-vectoring precision and a Snow Mode tuned for low-traction scenarios, and you have an SUV that feels exceptionally capable on variable surfaces around Sioux Falls. The True Touchpad Interface™ ties it all together—intuitive, accurate, and designed to help you keep your focus forward while you navigate, queue up music, or adjust settings.
