Acura facelifted its RSX model in 2005, introducing some new features and measuring the model’s output rating to 155 hp.
New components included a revised suspension, redeveloped stabilizer bar, side-mirror gaps, newly-designed bumpers, redesigned grille & headlights and chrome-styled exterior lines. Its sweeping curves and new exterior lines turned the RSX into a more aggressive, sporty car, while its interior focused more on driver-oriented design - supportive side bolsters and a lower cushion, integrated headrests, Automatic Climate Control System, power moonroof and a dual-threshold airbag system.
