Acura has officially announced the return of the RSX nameplate, marking a new era for the brand as it unveils its first electric vehicle ( EV) built on Honda ’s EV platform. Inspired by the Acura Performance EV Concept, the all-electric Acura RSX presents itself as a sleek, coupe-like silhouette with modern tech.

Acura showed a camouflaged but anatomically correct photo of its coming RSX electric vehicle, a crossover SUV that will begin production by year's end. The Acura RSX will arrive ahead of the Honda Saloon and SUV concepts shown at CES last week.

The Acura will be the first EV built at the new Honda EV Hub in Ohio. The EV Hub is being created during retooling of the Marysville Auto Plant, the East Liberty Auto Plant and the Anna Engine Plant, meaning Honda and Acura will be able to build EVs, hybrids and ICE cars in Ohio.
