Acura reintroduced the TL Type-S for the 2007 model year. 2009 marked the all new TL and TSX models as well as a mid-year model update for the RL; all three made their debuts in the 2008 calendar year. Acura planned on redesigning the RL by 2011 as well as announced the creation of a brand new luxury crossover vehicle called the [[Acura ZDX|ZDX]], previewed by the concept of the same name.

The ZDX was the first vehicle designed in Acura's design studio located in [[Torrance, California]]. The ZDX was designed by Michelle Christensen, and based on the Acura MDX using that vehicle's 3.7 litre V6 engine (300&nbsp;bhp) and SH-AWD system. It is also the first Acura to be completely built in North America. The production model of the ZDX made its debut in the Orange County Auto Show in Southern California on 15 October 2009. The concept behind the ZDX is that it is a "four door coupe," and the design emphasis of the body of the car is like a "pulled back slingshot." Another prominent design aspect of the ZDX is the wide rear shoulders above the rear wheels. The ZDX went on sale in December 2009.

Acura initially had plans for the third generation of RL to be a rear wheel drive V8 sedan for its [[Flagship car|flagship]], but shelved the plans in the wake of the 2008 economic downturn.<ref>{{cite web |last=Joseph |first=Noah |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/02/sorry-acura-dealers-v8-rwd-dropped-for-low-growth-period/ |title=Acura sticks with V6 on large sedans |publisher=Autoblog.com |date=2 November 2009 |access-date=20 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100131044234/http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/02/sorry-acura-dealers-v8-rwd-dropped-for-low-growth-period/ |archive-date=31 January 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Acura announced new TSX wagon in the [[New York Auto Show#2010|2010 New York Auto Show]] and went on sale in Fall of 2010. The wagon version of the TSX is based on the wagon version of the Euro-spec Honda Accord which has been in the European market for some time. However, Acura did not announce any plans for the third-generation RL.

For the 2010 model year the MDX models received some slight exterior changes and increased equipment levels. Mechanically the engine remained unchanged but the transmission was updated from the previous 5-speeds to 6-speeds including steering column mounted shift override paddles. This new transmission was shared with the ZDX.

In 2012, Acura introduced a new model called the [[ILX]] which replaced the [[Acura CSX]] in Canada and is based on the [[Honda Civic]] platform. The ILX was initially offered with three powertrain options: a [[Honda L engine|1.5L]] four cylinder electric hybrid shared with the North American [[Honda Civic Hybrid]] paired to a [[Continuously variable transmission|CVT transmission]], a 2.0L 4 cylinder [[Honda R engine|R20A1]] paired to a 5 speed automatic transmission, or a 2.4L [[Honda K engine|K24Z7]] paired with a 6 speed manual transmission equipped with a [[Limited-slip differential|limited slip differential]] identical to the 2013-2015 [[Honda Civic Si]]. It also unveiled the [[Acura RLX]] Concept, a replacement for the RL sedan, at the [[New York International Auto Show#2012|New York International Auto Show]]. The ILX went on sale in May 2012 in the United States as a 2013 model.

For the new model, Acura dropped the 4 cylinder turbo for a 3.5L V6. When the official 2013 Acura RDX was released, it was relatively similar to the concept but had changes in wheels, taillights, and some other cosmetics. A lot of this Acura looks like its brother the ILX. The 2013 RDX doesn't have the SH-AWD system instead it has "AWD with intelligent control", similar to the CR-V's AWD system.

In 2013, Acura showed a 2014 Concept of the MDX. Shortly after, it was released to the public. The MDX competes with the Lexus RX, Audi Q7, and many others.

In December 2013, at the [[Los Angeles Auto Show#2013|Los Angeles Auto Show]], Acura unveiled a Sport Hybrid SH-AWD version of the flagship RLX sedan. It has a 310-horsepower 3.5L V6 engine and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) that generate a combined 377 horsepower through a new 7-speed dual clutch transmission. Acura technology firsts on the 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD also include an electronic gear selector that replaces the conventional, center console-mounted shift lever with an efficiently packaged push-button array allowing the driver to easily select the desired mode—Park, Drive and Reverse, as well as Sport and Normal driving modes. The new RLX Sport Hybrid will go on sale in mid-2014.
