2026 Acura RDX MPG

Fuel economy questions about the 2026 Acura RDX have a simpler answer than most luxury SUVs, because every trim shares one powertrain: a turbocharged engine, a 10-speed automatic, and standard Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.

The only variable left is wheel size, and it moves the numbers by exactly one highway mile per gallon. Here is the full picture from Jenkins Acura of Ocala, along with what it means for driving range around Central Florida.

2026 Acura RDX Fuel Economy by Trim
V

The 2026 RDX, RDX with Technology Package, and RDX with Advance Package ride on 19-inch wheels and earn an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. The A-Spec and A-Spec with Advance Package wear 20-inch wheels and rate 21 city, 26 highway, and 23 combined, giving up one highway mile per gallon to the larger wheel and tire package.

Because SH-AWD is standard on all five trims for 2026, there is no front-drive rating this year; older 22/28/24 figures floating around online belong to front-wheel-drive models that ended after 2023.

  • EPA-estimated 21 city/27 highway/23 combined MPG on 19-inch wheels
  • EPA-estimated 21 city/26 highway/23 combined MPG on A-Spec trims
  • Super Handling All-Wheel Drive standard on every trim
  • No front-wheel-drive rating for 2026
  • One-mpg highway difference between wheel sizes

V

The numbers come from a 272-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 280 lb-ft of torque from just 1,600 rpm, matched to a 10-speed automatic that keeps the engine in its efficient range at cruising speed. Acura recommends premium 91-octane fuel, and idle-stop is standard.

With a 17.1-gallon tank and the 23 mpg combined rating, the RDX carries an estimated 393-mile driving range, which comfortably covers an Ocala-to-Miami run or a week of Marion County commuting between fill-ups.

  • 272-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged engine
  • 280 lb-ft of torque from 1,600 rpm
  • 10-speed automatic transmission
  • 17.1-gallon fuel tank

What you see in practice depends on how the RDX gets used. The turbo engine rewards a light foot; steady highway cruising on I-75 will run at or above the EPA highway number, while short hops around town with the air conditioning working land closer to the city figure. Tire pressure, roof loads, and drive-mode selection all move the needle.

Using the recommended premium fuel and staying on the factory maintenance schedule protect both output and efficiency. Our service team at Jenkins Acura of Ocala can check whether your RDX is delivering the economy it should at any routine visit.

  • Highway cruising returns the best figures
  • Smooth acceleration preserves turbo efficiency
  • Keep tires inflated to the door-jamb spec
  • Premium fuel protects performance and economy
  • Routine maintenance keeps ratings within reach
