Acura introduced the CDX crossover at Auto China
2016 and now it appears the company is considering offering the model in the
United States.
The CDX "interests a lot of our people" so
the company's research and development team is looking into the possibility of
bring the model to America. However, it's not that simple
as the CDX was designed primarily for the Chinese market and the United States
has different regulatory standards.
The Acura CDX is based on the same platform that
underpins the Honda HR-V and is smaller than the RDX. It is powered by a
turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 182 PS and 240 Nm of
torque. The engine is connected to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and
an all-wheel drive system.
The CDX is built at the company's ZengCheng plant in
Guangzhou and is priced from 229,800 RMB (US$ 33,316).
