Acura is working on the next-generation RDX SUV,
with our spies spotting a heavily camouflaged prototype sitting at a gas
station. There isn’t much to observe on the design of the 2018
RDX thanks to the Acura’s efforts to dress the prototype with as many covers
they could find.
The new Acura RDX will ride on a version of the
latest CR-V chassis that debuted in late 2016 and will adopt the brand’s newest
styling features, including the new front grille.
The interior will benefit from the increased
dimensions and offer more room than before, as well as the latest tech
features, including a modern infotainment system and another digital display
for the driver’s instruments.
A wide range of driver assistance systems will also
be present, with the prototype in the pictures having its front sensors poking
out of the camouflage wraps. As for the engine range, the existing 3.5-liter V6
is expected to be replaced by Honda’s turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol unit, with
the company also planning a hybrid version.
Acura is planning to put the next RDX into
production in mid-2018, so expect to see more scoops before the official
reveal.
