Most Asian carmakers thrived in America across the automotive industry during the year's first quarter. However, it wasn't all roses and daffodils in terms of sales, especially for some pretentious brands.
Toyota – with 565,098 vehicles (+20.3%) is hotter than ever on the heels of General Motors, which slipped 1.5% to 594,233 examples during the first three months of 2024. As always, Toyota was followed from the Asian side by their rivals over at American Honda – the division was happy to announce its best first quarter since 2021 with 333,824 units (+17.3%).
Oddly enough, all the surge was owed to the namesake Honda brand due to the fact that just like Nissan's Infiniti (minus 12%), Acura also fell into a sales crevasse and registered minus 20% deliveries to a little more than 9k units. The performance is abysmal, frankly, both due to the drop and the low volume altogether.
Naturally, the Japanese automaker hopes it can turn around the tide. It has started churning out the promised novelties – the 2025 Acura MDX mid-size luxury crossover SUV gets a refresh just two years after hitting the market with the fourth generation. It brings subtle new looks and better tech all around. That's not all, though, as the RDX, MDX, and ZDX crossovers will receive a little sibling dubbed ADX sooner rather than later.
We already knew a base Acura crossover was coming since American Honda outlined its 2024 strategy in the first days of the new year, and now the teasing campaign has officially kicked off. Unofficially, though, the rumor mill and the imaginative realm of digital car content creators have already exposed the hypothetical looks of the crossover SUV that may be twinned with the Honda HR-V instead of the CR-V like the RDX compact luxury crossover SUV.
For example, Vince Burlapp (aka 'vburlapp' on social media) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm, and he's more than ready to spill the CGI beans on the 2025 Acura ADX. Since the Japanese automaker isn't saying much except that it will have turbo power under the hood and a close relationship with the Acura Integra in the lineup, the styling is basically open to any interpretation.
As such, do take this rendering with the customary dose of salt – so far, Acura is early on with the teasing campaign and has only revealed the ADX logo it will use on the base CUV in the lineup. However, of course, the RDX, MDX, and ZDX crossovers will surely have an influence over the ADX design team. So, do you like this hypothetical vision or not?
