Life in Minnesota demands a vehicle that can pivot as quickly as our weather. One minute you’re enjoying a crisp autumn morning in Edina, and the next, you’re navigating a surprise flurry on your way to a meeting in Minneapolis. The 2026 Acura RDX was engineered for exactly these moments. As a premium sport crossover, it refuses to choose between athletic handling and foul-weather capability, making it the definitive choice for drivers who refuse to let a little snow stall their plans.
At Bloomington Acura, our 2026 RDX inventory showcases a refined evolution of this fan-favorite SUV. With a fresh frameless Diamond Pentagon grille and updated wheel designs, the RDX looks just as sharp parked in St. Louis Park as it does cruising down the highway toward Rochester. Explore our latest inventory above, then contact our team or visit our local showroom to learn morea about this ever-popular SUV.
While many luxury crossovers claim “all-weather capability,” the RDX delivers it through the legendary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®). Standard on the 2026 model, this system doesn’t just wait for wheels to slip; it actively directs power to the wheels with the most grip.
When you’re taking a tight corner in St. Paul, the system can send up to 70% of torque to the rear axle and 100% of that torque to the outside rear wheel. The result? A crossover that feels like it’s rotating on a pivot rather than pushing through a turn.
The 2026 Acura RDX keeps its heart: a high-output 2.0L VTEC® Turbo engine. Delivering 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, it provides the punchy acceleration needed for merging into I-494 traffic. To see how this powertrain holds its own against the segment’s heaviest hitters, take a look at our deep dive on the Acura RDX vs. Luxury Compact SUV Competitors.
Step inside, and you’ll find a driver-centric cockpit that feels more like a private lounge. For 2026, Acura has refined the center console to offer more functional storage while keeping the high-resolution 10.2-inch HD display within easy reach.
The A-Spec® Advance: Combines aggressive styling with Milano leather and Ultrasuede®-trimmed seats.
Connectivity: Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure your favorite podcasts and navigation are always ready for the drive to Rochester.
AcuraWatch™: A full suite of safety tech, including Collision Mitigation Braking and Lane Keeping Assist, comes standard, providing peace of mind whether you’re in the city or on the open road.

How does the 2026 Acura RDX perform in deep snow?
With standard SH-AWD® and a dedicated “Snow Mode” in the Integrated Dynamics System, the RDX is one of the most capable vehicles in its class for Minnesota winters. It manages power distribution to prevent wheel spin before it starts.
What are the main differences between the A-Spec and the Advance package?
The A-Spec focuses on sportier aesthetics (blacked-out accents, 20-inch wheels, and a flat-bottom steering wheel), while the Advance package prioritizes luxury (authentic wood trim, a 10.5-inch Head-Up Display, and a Surround-View Camera). The A-Spec Advance combines the best of both worlds.
