You'll notice that the prototype below was a sharp indication of what the car was going to look like.
Looking very much like the New York Auto Show concept, our spy photographers just spotted the first pre-production prototype of Acura’s “four-door sports coupe” on local roads. Obviously some concept details have been toned-down, but it looks like the ZDX is – for the most part – staying true to the show car.The “four-door coupe” trend quickly spread throughout the luxury sedan segment following the launch of the Mercedes CLS, and it looks as though the ‘CUV coupe’ segment is the next frontier for luxury automakers.
“The ZDX prototype is unlike anything you have ever seen before from Acura,” said Jeff Conrad, vice president, Acura sales. “The prototype showcases a new level of luxury, style and refinement for Acura and speaks volumes towards our commitment to advancing the brand.”
Built on the same platform as the Acura MDX, the vehicle is being developed by engineers at Honda’s assembly plant in Alliston, Ontario. Acura has yet to comment on the ZDX’s drivetrain, but it is widely believed crossover will feature an all-aluminum VTEC V6 hooked to Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.
The 2010 Acura ZDX is expected to begin production this fall, arriving in dealerships during the latter half of 2009.
