Acura<\/a> is headed to Monterey<\/a> Car Week with what it’s calling a “next generation” performance concept. While Honda’s<\/a> premium subsidiary offered up no details about the car itself, we were offered the above teaser photo. Acura says it will be a “segment defying” sport utility vehicle<\/a>, but what we’re seeing here looks awfully trunk-like. From this perspective, it’s really anybody’s guess, but one thing is obvious: Whatever this thing is, it’s no mere ZDX<\/a> offshoot. Here’s Acura’s announcement in its entirety, should you be interested in parsing it yourself:<\/p>\n

“Acura will once again take center stage during Monterey Car Week for the world debut of an exciting new concept vehicle<\/a>. A segment defying sport utility vehicle, the dynamically styled concept previews the performance brand’s next generation all-electric model \u2013 the first to be built in Ohio on the company’s new dedicated EV platform.”<\/p>\n

The most significant takeaway here is that last bit. Being on a new dedicated platform means that this car has nothing to do with the current Honda-Acura EV offerings, both of which are based on architecture shared with General Motors<\/a>. Honda has already announced that it will migrate its mainstream EVs to a new, in-house “0 Series” platform<\/a> in the coming years, with an initial focus on passenger vehicles followed by expansion into people-mover territory. We’ve yet to hear anything concrete about a parallel program at Acura, so this could very well be the first breadcrumbs to that effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For now, that’s all Acura has to offer. Keep your ears to the ground during Car Week for more.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
