One Asian carmaker barely reached a little over 28k sales in America during the first quarter of the year, while most others thrived – with a couple of exceptions.
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is dead last among mass-market automakers active in North America after the first three months of the year, with US sales below Mazda, Subaru, Nissan, Honda, or Toyota. On the other hand, all of them posted single to two-digit positive results.
However, it's not all roses and daffodils because American Honda and the Nissan Group can't be too proud of their premium divisions – Infiniti dropped 12% year-over-year. In comparison, Acura slipped more than 20% to a little more than 9k units. That's kind of odd, of course, as Lexus had no such issues and merrily helped Toyota chase GM for the US crown in terms of sales. No worries, luxury Asian carmaker fans, both Infiniti and Acura, are making strides to recoup the lost ground – the former with the newly introduced all-new QX80 full-size premium SUV and the latter with even more reveals.
The first and second of them are the refreshed 2025 Acura MDX mid-size luxury crossover SUV and the upcoming first-ever 2025 Acura ADX, a new base CUV that will stand alongside the Integra to prop the bottom line and expand the crossover family that also consists of the RDX, MDX, and the all-electric ZDX.
Speaking of the upgraded 2025 Acura MDX, which packs subtly enhanced looks and fresh technology plus a raft of new features, maybe the minute design updates, the added Advance Package, the new 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, or darkened JewelEye LED headlights and taillights won't be enough to make it stand out in any crowd, even when dressed in the new Canyon River Blue Metallic Urban Gray Pearl hues.
Well, perhaps not even the Technology Package's new 20-inch wheels will be enough – or at least seems to be the opinion across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. More precisely, Nikita Chuicko, the virtual artist better known as kelsonik on social media, thinks now is the right CGI time to play with Acura's refreshed 2025 MDX and morph it into a veritable head-turner with help from four types of new CGI aftermarket wheels.
The gray paintjob along with the glossy black bits are a nice contrast, and the pixel master adds a set of concave options, a couple of Y-spoke ideas, of which one is complete with red brake calipers and a stylish gold option for good measure, too. So, do you think Acura would sell more MDX crossovers if they offered such large wheels in the options list, or is this solely the panache of the aftermarket realm?
