- Acura is getting ready to show off a concept car at the upcoming Monterey Car Week.
- The concept is described as a “segment-defying sport-utility vehicle” and looks to have a sloping roofline.
- The car previews Acura’s next-generation EV that will ride on a new platform and be built at Acura’s Ohio plant.
Acura has announced that it will return to Monterey Car Week for 2024, where it revealed the electric ZDX Type S last year. The Japanese-American luxury brand has released a teaser for the concept car that will be unveiled next week, and while little is known about the vehicle at the moment, Acura did state that it will be an electric SUV. The concept is said to preview a next-generation EV that will be the first to ride on a new dedicated EV platform and will be assembled in Ohio.
The teaser image Acura shared shows the rear of the concept, finished in a vibrant blue shade. The taillight stretches the full width of the vehicle and features a series of tightly spaced vertical LED elements. Below the taillight is illuminated “Acura” badging, and while the perspective makes it difficult to tell, the concept appears to have a sloping roofline.
Acura describes the concept as a “segment-defying sport-utility vehicle.” While it’s unclear exactly what the company means by this, we think this crossover may take on a high-riding coupe-like silhouette, perhaps in a similar vein to the original Acura ZDX from 2010 or the BMW X6. The concept could also look more like a lifted sedan along the lines of the Toyota Crown. Whatever form Acura’s latest concept car takes will be unveiled in roughly a week’s time.
