2018 Acura CDX May Come to the U.S.

After the last-year launch, the 2018 Acura CDX will most likely come without bigger changes. China is one of the most challenging markets in the world today. Many manufacturers offer their models designed specifically for this country.

There are also many luxury brands that struggle to take some decent position on the market. Honda’s luxury division is one of them. A year ago, we saw a presentation of the completely new compact crossover. Based on the legendary CR-V crossover, it comes with the proven platform but with a completely new styling and plenty other features. The production model came this year, so 2018 CDX shouldn’t feature changes.

We will see pretty much the same design characteristics. The new model will feature the same styling, same interior design and pretty much the same list of standard features, although we could see few new standard features. It will come late this year.
