The upright instrument panel design that is festooned with tech and flashy materials is a great sight to see for Acura. We’ve already seen some shadowy images of the MDX’s cabin, and we’re even more impressed with the interior shown here. The interior matches the exterior for flair and elegance. More Type S-specific details will need to wait. Not all of the performance details are available yet, but Acura says the MDX can be had with four-piston Brembo brake calipers and comes with a drive mode selector that allows you to adjust ride, handling, steering, suspension and powertrain characteristics. Both engines will be mated to Acura’s 10-speed automatic transmission and send power to all four wheels using the latest fourth-generation SH-AWD system.
The standard engine will continue to be Acura’s 3.5-liter V6 that makes 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. It will make 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque (same as the TLX) in this application. Acura promises a Type S version of the MDX is coming with the same 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 you’ll find under the hood of the TLX Type S. There’s more excitement in the powertrain options for the new MDX, too. Just like the new TLX, Acura has gone with a double wishbone front suspension design to make the MDX an even sportier driver. It’s even more rigid than the RDX’s body. Acura says it provides for more athletic handling, greater ride comfort and a quieter cabin versus the outgoing MDX. The MDXs you see here are riding on new 21-inch wheels that are bolted up to a new light truck platform and chassis specifically tailored for the MDX. Many of the design elements we liked so much on the TLX are transferred over to this crossover body style, and Acura has done so with class. Acura gave this MDX a wider track and a three-inch longer wheelbase, both aiding in making it appear far more graceful and sporty.Īcura clearly isn’t holding much of anything back with this MDX Prototype versus the final production car, and we’re liking what we can see so far. The pentagon grille, and Chicane-shaped DRLs in the headlights now grace a much wider car. Just like the TLX, it benefits from a much longer dash-to-axle dimension, measuring in six inches longer than the outgoing MDX. With the MDX now the best-selling Acura nameplate of all time, this one was even more important for Acura to get right. Acura has followed up the slick TLX sedan with another attractive design. This three-row crossover you’re looking at is technically being called the MDX Prototype by Acura, but it’s about as close to production as any prototype can get.Īnd what a looker it is. The next-generation Acura MDX is here, almost. That's all we know for now, but we'll be following the evolution of this vehicle closely over the next year.Acura MDX Prototype reveals slick new looks, with Type S close behind It's essentially the 2022 Acura MDX, and it's a big improvement The Cadillac Lyriq's battery size is 102 kWh, which gives it a range of about 500 km. In this case, we're talking about a capacity of over 500 hp. The Type S variant, on the other hand, could adopt a two-motor, all-wheel-drive configuration, just like the Cadillac.
If the ZDX offers the same powertrains as the Cadillac Lyric, we can anticipate a base version equipped with a 340-hp electric motor installed on the rear-axle. Early sketches of the Honda Prologue also show a Pinocchio-like snout. The model seen today features a long hood that sits fairly low, while presenting a "boxier" style. To get a better idea of the model, a look at the Precision EV concept, unveiled earlier this year, offers a different perspective. It will be built alongside that model at GM's Tennessee plant. The camouflage outfit keeps a lot hidden, but you can still make out the general profile of the SUV, which will be positioned in the same category as Cadillac's Lyriq. To whip up interes tin its future EV, Acura has now shared a few images of a test prototype, a 2024 Type S version of its upcoming ZDX.
