Power and Drivetrain Specs
At the core of every 2026 RDX is a high-response VTEC® turbocharged engine paired with a quick-shifting 10-speed transmission. Sequential SportShift paddle shifters give you total manual control at a moment’s notice.
- Engine: 2.0L VTEC® Turbocharged Inline 4-Cylinder
- Horsepower: 272 hp
- Torque: 280 lb-ft
- Drivetrain: Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®)
- Transmission: 10-Speed Automatic with Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters

Standard SH-AWD® constantly monitors speed, wheel slip, and steering inputs to send up to 70% of engine torque to the rear wheels. When powering through tight corners around Stafford, the system shifts up to 100% of that rear torque to the outside wheel. This active torque vectoring rotates the crossover effortlessly through turns, providing razor-sharp handling in a wide variety of weather conditions.
