For 2005, the front seats have been optimized with thicker cushions for increased comfort and deeper side bolsters for even better support during aggressive driving. The side bolsters have been reshaped to provide even better lateral support during hard cornering maneuvers. The thickness of the urethane padding was also increased for firmness and excellent support during acceleration and a 3 decibel reduction in vibration. The seats are now covered with a new double knit material and the integrated headrests receive new titanium-look trim, which contribute to a sporty, modern appearance.

Chrome and titanium-look accents and upgraded materials have been added in key spots throughout the cockpit. Upscale chrome accents were added to the shift boot ring, hand brake knob and to the front seat headrest. Sporty new materials were applied to the roof lining A-pillar garnish, quarter panel garnish and door lining. Wrapping the instrument panel is a unique, rubberized geometric-grain material that has been enhanced for 2005 for a sportier, yet more refined look. During the day, the large, analog gauges of the RSX appear as easy-to-read black numerals on a white background (changed from a metallic background on the 2004 model). Each gauge is trimmed with new chrome accents.
