It doesn't look bad. However, if this thing ever comes to the US it will have a ridiculously under-powered drive train, ie sub 200 hp 4 cylinder goat.

It Looks Like the Acura CDX Could be Headed to North America

By Sam McEachern Dec 12, 2017

Acura pulled the wraps off of the CDX subcompact crossover at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show.

The tiny city runabout, which shares a platform with the Honda CH-R, is sold in China only and is built locally at the automaker’s Zengcheng Plant in Guangdong, China. Earlier this year, Acura expressed an interest in shipping the China-only CDX to North America, with Jon Ikeda, group vice president for Acura US, telling Wards Auto the brand was studying consumer interest and market trends before making a decision.

“It’s a model that interests a lot of our people, so we have our R&D guys looking into the possibility,” he said.

It seems as though Acura is now laying the groundwork for the CDX’s eventual arrival in the United States and Canada. The Truth About Cars contributor

recently dug up a patent filing for the CDX’s design that was awarded to Acura by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on December 12th, 2017. While patent filings don’t serve as concrete evidence of anything, it’s compelling to see Acura expressing such an interest in the CDX.


There’s 1 very good reason why Acura should and most likely will sell the CDX here: Lexus. The rival Japanese premium brand said earlier this year it will eventually introduce a subcompact crossover in North America called the UX, which will slot beneath the NX in the automaker’s lineup and serve as its new entry-level crossover. The UX’s styling was also previewed with a wild-looking concept vehicle of the same name 1st shown at the 2016 Paris Motor Show. We doubt Honda will let Toyota enter that segment without a little bit of friendly competition. Discuss this story on our Acura forum.

Honda renews trademark for Acura CDX compact crossover

HR-V-based SUV with the same name doubled Acura sales in China when it was introduced

Jonathon Ramsey

Jan 31st 2018 at 12:11PM

Honda recently renewed its U.S. trademark for the name "CDX," which the Japanese carmaker 1st applied for in 2015. Back then, observers expected the name to apply to an Acura version of the Honda HR-V, and they were right — but no 1 expected the CDX would go on sale only in China, in 2016.

For the past 2 years, the U.S. auto media has speculated on whether the CDX will ever make it here.

"(We) have our R&D guys looking into the possibility," group VP of Acura U.S. Jon Ikeda told Wards Auto last April about the CDX. However, he went on to note that it's not as simple as just shipping it over due to regulation differences between China and the United States. The trademark application doesn't mean a green light, but it shows Honda's at least leaving the door open to the prospect.

The Chinese-market CDX is a Honda HR-V after a wardrobe change. The only engine option is the 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder from the Civic, CR-V, and Accord, with 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet (our HR-V uses a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder with 141 hp and 127 lb-ft). The only transmission offered is an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Drivetrains can be had in front- or all-wheel drive.

We wonder how much longer Honda can sit on the sidelines. The CDX doubled Acura's sales in China in 1 year. Acura sells more crossovers than sedans in the United States, and in the past 2 years that the CDX has been on sale in China, the compact crossover segment here has got more crowded and more popular. The Cadillac XT4 is imminent, and we could see the new Lexus UX compact crossover at the Geneva Motor Show. Really, an American-market Acura CDX can't come soon enough.

When will (if ever) the CDX, which is based on the Honda HR-V and Acura has been selling in China, be available in the US? Several of the car magazines have mentioned it, but I can't seem to get anyone from Acura to confirm. With the 2019 RDX be larger than its predecessor, the CDX might be a good fit for our second vehicle, a small luxury SUV.

广汽Acura CDX究极体 入门豪华混动SUV首选

凤凰网汽车·抢先试驾 到目前为止，广汽Acura一共生产了两款车型，CDX和TLX-L。CDX对于Acura自身产品序列也是一款全新的车型，在CDX上我们看到了Acura Precision概念车上全新的设计语言和家族化风格，让Acura产品焕然一新。动力上1.5T+8D CT的数据也相当抢眼，不过这些都没有真正的打动到我，让我对CDX有了更多期待的是今天这款CD X Sport Hybrid(后文简称CDX混动版)，因为CDX混动版可以说是CDX车型真正进化到最究极体的样子：极 高的能源利用效率，极致的静音，和如丝般顺滑的平顺动力。

外观源自最新全球化设计方向AcuraPrecision Concept外观方面，CDX Sport Hybrid 同样沿袭了代表Acura 最新全球化设计方向的“AcuraPrecision Concept”理念，前进气格栅采用“钻石五边形”家族式脸谱，颇有新意的从中央向外发散式的点阵布局也 使中央的Acura 品牌标识更加突出，使前脸整体看起来棱角分明。同时，整车锋锐的线条让车身看起来雕刻感十足，充满力量感的 造型使其运动SUV 的气质更加突出，霸气十足。另外CDX Sport Hybrid 车型还将提供一款星空浩蓝配色，与魅红/拉丝内饰。

















内饰移植Acura旗舰超跑NSX进入车内，是充满浓浓讴歌风格的内饰设计。环抱式的中控台加上饰板设计，让整个中控台的整体感很强。Dyn amic Mode系统和EGS按键式电子换挡，与Acura 旗舰超跑NSX上如出一辙。在入门级SUV上就能体验到超跑上的设计风格，绝对会让年轻的消费者尤其是本田 粉大呼过瘾。



通过IDS 智能动力系统,选择Comfort 舒适和Sport 运动两种驾驶模式,可使发动机、变速器、悬架和ASC 主动声音控制系统等多种黑科技配置协同工作，Comfort 舒适模式可以提供更好的燃油经济性，更舒适的驾驶感受。而Sport 运动则可带来更加迅猛的加速体验，更加精准的操控感。 同时CDX混动版还拥有主动安全系统Acura Watch 和驾驶辅助技术，包含TSR 交通标识智能识别系统、FCW 前方碰撞预警系统、CMBS碰撞缓解制动系统、LDW 车道偏离预警系统、RDM 车道偏移抑制系统、LKAS 车道保持辅助系统、LWC 盲点显示系统、以及带LSF 低速前车跟随系统的ACC 主动巡航控制系统等。 而驾驶辅助技术包含MVC 360°全景影像系统、Acura 智能自动泊车辅助系统、CTM 后视动态提醒系统以及倒车影像等。



榨干每一滴汽油能量的i-MMD混动系统在动力总成方面，CDX Sport Hybrid 采用了i-MMD 混合动力系统，由2.0L 阿特金森循环DOHC i-VTEC 发动机、高功率电机、E-CVT、控制双电机的动力控制单元、高功率锂离子电池和DC-DC 变换器等组成，其中2.0L 发动机最大功率107kW，混动系统综合最大功率158kW，这套混动系统兼顾动力与平顺性的情况下，最大 化的利用能量，将动能与节能达到了完美平衡。





混合动力系统可以智能切换三种行驶模式：

EV 行驶模式时，发动机不工作，离合器断开。电机通过齿轮机构直接输出转矩，回收能量也直接经发电 机转化。





混合动力行驶模式时，即串联混合动力模式，发动机驱动发电机进行发电，然后通过PCU动力控制单元控制驱动 电机工作，驱动齿轮机构输出扭矩，这里电池组也可以同时为电动机提供电能。



发动机模式和并联混动模式，发动机行驶模式是在高速巡航时，发动机通过离合器连接直接驱动车轮，此时的巡航 速度相当于日常驾驶中的最高挡位，在需要急加速的时候，电机可以同时输出扭矩，让车辆输出功率 达到最大化。



通过i-MMD 三种动力模式的不断切换，从而使得发动机获得最高燃效，将燃油的利用效率实现最大化，最终实现 了CDX Sport Hybrid 仅为5L 每百公里的综合油耗。

CDX混动版技能加点：安静、平顺、操控

CDX混动版搭载了来自本田i-MMD混动系统，这套混动系统理论上热效率，或者说能效利用率上比丰田的THS-II混动系统更加出色。而且从实际体验上来说，这种混联的混动系统，尤其i-MMD以电动机驱动为主的混动系统，在平顺性和燃油经济性上体验更为理想。



CDX混动版，在起步阶段，时速60km/h以下主要以EV纯电动和混动模式两种模式为主。二者的差异从驾驶层面很难感受出来，主要来自发动机的声音 ，当发动机舱出现了发动机运转的声音，则进入了混动模式。如果没有则纯粹依靠电池电力驱动。实际上，车轮驱 动的扭矩始终来自于电动机，所以不会有任何突兀或者发动机介入的感受。所以CDX混动版提供了超乎预期的行 驶静谧性，在NVH之上也有所强化，全车在底盘、车身上做了多重的隔音降噪处理，再加上主动降噪的功能，使 得CDX混动版拥有了更高级别的静音性。这种高级感是普通CDX上所享受不到的。





在中高速行驶时CDX混动动力输出沉稳老练，有时会给你一种开着大排量自然吸气发动机的错觉，不这种线性的 加速感受确实要比涡轮增压发动机要平顺，提速感受更好。不过中高速行驶时的噪音控制就有所下降，对于日常行 驶来说，20-80km/h这个区间，CDX做得非常不错。

Pretty good looking and the interior is quite nice. The i-MMD system from the Accord Hybrid is plenty powerful for a subcompact CUV with 212hp and 232lbft of torque.

Not gonna lie, for a little entry level 'ute, this thing looks really nice. I'd consider one of these for an SO, or something.

The contour of the rear hatch looks a little weird, but that's so nit-picky. Like Tell said: Acura needs to get this the hell over here.

That is really nice! I'm surprised.

I checked the numbers on the new RDX and the CDX:

Wheelbase: RDX (108.3) CDX (104.7) - difference 3.7 inches

Length: RDX (186.9) CDX (177.0) - difference 9.9 inches

Height: RDX (65.7) CDX (63.6) - difference 2.1 inches

Width: RDX (estimated 74.5) CDX (73.2) - difference 1.3 inches

So the CDX isn't much smaller than the RDX, but it's almost 10 inches shorter.

Put the 2.0 turbo in there and Acura would have a winner.

19RDX

Looks like the CDX with the 2.0 turbo and SH-AWD would be a BMW X1 killer:

Wheelbase: X1 (105.1) CDX (104.7) - difference 0.4 inches

Length: X1 (175.4) CDX (177.0) - difference 1.6 inches

Height: X1 (62.9) CDX (63.6) - difference 0.7 inches

Width: X1 (71.9) CDX (73.2) - difference 0.7 inches

HP/Torque: X1 (228/258) CDX (272/280)


Since everything Acura is doing with the brand right now is based on performance, I completely expect them to put the 2.0 in the CDX. The fact that they aren't talking about the CDX yet is a signal to me that they will and don't want to kill sales of the RDX being released next month.

AZuser

Acura won't give the regular CDX the same engine as the RDX. Doesn't make sense if Acura wants to differentiate the line up. It will get the 1.5T just like in China. If Acura offers a performance variant (doubt it), then sure. But the regular CDX? No.

CDX = 1.5T
RDX = 2.0T
MDX = V6 turbo (3.0T?)

kurtatx

This makes sense, but I could imagine them doing 2.0 for both. The 2.0T in Audi's lineup appears across multiple models of various sizes.

00TL-P3.2

Maybe, but apart from the CTR & Accord, do they have a 3rd option currently? I guess it's not that hard to spin up a 3rd tune for the engine. Accord tune for the RDX & a lower tun for the CDX.

The facelifted 2021 Acura CDX will hit the market in China later this month. Just as the company announced last fall, it will be getting a special version called A-Spec, which will lend it a sportier appearance – and little else.

The CDX A-Spec boasts a new front bumper, a different rear diffuser, black trim parts instead of chrome ones, round exhaust tips instead of trapezoid ones, 18-inch wheels, special edition badges, and the “Red” paint option (the first time for China). The cabin trim also sports a special color combination and includes all the options available for the model.

The gasoline version of the Acura CDX comes equipped with a 1.5-liter turbo-4engine good for 182 hp (135 kW) and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque, mated to an eight-speed DCT. The CDX Sport Hybrid relies on its i-MMD System, which incorporates a 2-liter naturally aspirated engine, a single electric motor and an E-CVT box. Its peak output amounts to 215 hp (160 kW).
