Recently, we learned from relevant channels that Acura plans to launch a new hybrid flagship SUV. It is expected that the new car will be positioned higher than the current MDX, and the overall body size will be larger, or named "XL". It is reported that the new car will be officially put into production in September 2029. The MDX Acura precision concept car is reported to be launching this new XL model, which will allow Acura to have large luxury SUV products that can be benchmarked against Mercedes-Benz gls, BMW X7 and the upcoming Audi Q9, and will be priced lower than the above luxury models. At the same time, the landing of the new car will also restart Acura's flagship SUV R&D plan, which has been on hold for more than ten years. As early as the mid-to-late 2000s, Acura had planned to develop a flagship SUV model with a V8 engine and a rear drive platform. Later, due to the global financial crisis, the plan was forced to be completely terminated. This time, Acura will continue the classic technical route of the Japanese brand. This new large SUV will be equipped with a new hybrid powertrain developed specifically for large vehicles, combining high-end riding performance with fuel economy. At present, the specific parameters of the powertrain have not been officially announced. We'll keep an eye out for further updates on the new car. (Written by/Yao Yu, Car House).
