bi-directional NACS charging
Brembo brakes
Dual-Motor AWD
Asimo OS - https://global.honda/en/tech/Honda_SDV_ASIMO_OS/

Should drop in late 2026 as a 2027 Model

The Asimo OS i the really neat part about this car. Should offer Level 3 driving, but that is not confirmed to be on the RSX just yet...

After Honda's bad experience trying to sell the Acura ZDX--so bad they axed it after just one year--it wouldn't surprise me if the RDX vanishes before it appears.
 
Yeah, the ZDX was a flop. That was a shared chassis with the honda lineup and all the rest. This RSX is a fresh honda chassis and platform. I think the ZDX was just a throw something out there to say we meet the former 2035 electric mandates (that now most have dropped) and they focused efforts this time on the platform. I have higher hopes this time around.

Honda's had plenty of time to develop their Global EV Platform while getting an insider's view of all of GM's EV developments. Now we'll see if the two Honda 0 vehicles and the Acura RSX can surpass GM's Ultium platform.

Honda designed their cute, but failed Honda e from the ground-up to be an EV. It had more screens and offered more range than MINI's EV-retrofit, the F56 MINI Cooper SE, but it was heavier and less fun to drive. I hope they learned a lot from their Honda e and Ultium experiences. I wish they were preparing to build a beautiful, electric S2000 sports car instead of the Honda 0 Saloon (what a wimpy name!), which looks to me like a door-stopper. The driver's view of the road must be terrible!
