“Whenever you have a look at the MDX and RDX, and also you see these gross sales, they’re persistently promoting 50,000 to 60,000 per yr, and other people love and belief them yr after yr. Acura has a lot fairness of their SUVs that it will make full sense to have each a crossover that will slot beneath the RDX and slot above the MDX. I believe there’s loads of room there for that.”

Acura already has the meat of the SUV market coated with the compact RDX and midsize MDX. Nonetheless, a lot of the European luxurious automakers provide choices above and beneath these measurement courses. Sub-compact crossovers just like the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 have a tendency to not outsell their bigger compact siblings, and Acura’s gross sales might not be substantial sufficient to justify including extra fashions. If Acura had been to go above the MDX, it will possible require a brand new platform shared with the aforementioned Honda full-size SUV.
