"Dubbed the Acura RSX, the EV will be based on an all-new, bespoke platform developed in-house by Honda, known as the 0 Series. Honda will also build two models on the same architecturethe 0 Series SUV and 0 Series Saloonbut Acura has first dibs with the RSX, which will start rolling off the assembly line this year and arrive before either Honda. All three models will be built at Honda's EV hub in Ohio, making them the automaker's first U.S.-built EVs."
"Just like its Honda relatives, the Acura RSX will ride on the Japanese automaker's new 0 Series platform, which was developed in-house. By using lightweight materials and mega casting technology during assembly and structural battery packs, Acura's parent company says its new EVs should offer longer driving ranges and higher energy efficiency than the previous generation models. A lot of aerodynamic work has also been done to make sure that the cars, including the Acura RSX, can go the extra mile."
Acura's ZDX crossover, built on GM architecture, sold fewer than 20,000 units in the U.S. across 2024 and 2025 and was discontinued. The end of the $7,500 tax credit and a faltering GM–Honda EV partnership contributed to the model's cancellation. Acura is launching the RSX, an all-new electric crossover built on Honda's in-house 0 Series platform and assembled at Honda's Ohio EV hub. Two additional Honda models will share the architecture, but the RSX will arrive first. The 0 Series uses lightweight materials, mega casting, and structural battery packs to improve range and efficiency, supplemented by aerodynamic optimizations.
