RDX A-Spec Package overview

The 2026 Acura RDX A-Spec Package is the trim for shoppers who want more visual attitude and a sportier interior than the Technology Package without moving into the more luxury-focused Advance trims. It keeps the same 272-horsepower turbo engine, 10-speed automatic transmission, and SH-AWD layout, then adds A-Spec exterior sport styling, LED fog lights, a flat-bottom sport steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and a more expressive cabin treatment with perforated Milano premium leather and Ultrasuede trim. For many buyers, this is the RDX trim that blends performance, premium comfort, and standout styling most effectively.
