MDX, RDX, TLX: Soon out of gas?

Acura's MDX midsize crossover, RDX compact crossover and TLX midsize sedan could move to Honda's e:Architecture platform for their next generations, ending each nameplate's run as a gasoline-powered vehicle.

The MDX's transition could happen as part of a 2027 redesign.

An electric compact crossover built on the e:Architecture platform is expected in late 2025, timing that coincides with a possible RDX redesign, suggesting the change.

The TLX is expected to be redesigned in 2026, but a similarly sized electric sedan slated for that year could wear the TLX badge.
