本田和讴歌将在本月25日开幕的北京车展分别展示其SVU车型。其中本田将展示Concept D概念车的量产版车型，这款中级SUV预计将被命名为“UR-V”。该车将是本田在中国市场上的旗舰级车型，预计它将搭载2.4升自然进气或2.0升涡轮增压引擎并搭配六速自动变速器。前轮驱动为标配，但高端版本可提供全轮驱动。而讴歌的紧凑型SUV将是该品牌首款在国内组装的车型。不久前，讴歌在国内注册了“CDX”这一名称，很可能就是该车的名称。有报道称，讴歌的这款紧凑型SUV实际上是重新贴牌的本田HR-V。但也有报道称，该车不仅仅是重新贴牌，CDX将更大。考虑到国内消费者对于内部空间，尤其是后排腿部空间的重视，这款车很可能轴距进一步加长，另外行李箱空间更大。其实，讴歌不仅仅在中国，而且还在美国也注册了“CDX”这一名称，这表明该车将作为2017或2018款车型在美国上市。

 

Honda midsize SUV and Acura compact SUV heading to Beijing

Honda and Acura will each have an SUV premiere at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show.

 

The peculiar Concept D is about to make the transition to a production model, as Honda has announced it will launch a production version in Beijing. Other details about the model have not been released, but we do know it will be a midsize SUV and is expected to wear the “ UR-V ” nameplate. It will act as Honda’s flagship SUV in China and is believed to get naturally-aspirated 2.4-liter and turbocharged 2.0-liter engines hooked up to a six-speed automatic gearbox. Front-wheel drive is going to be standard, but the upper models will get an AWD layout.

 

As far as Acura’s compact SUV is concerned, it will be the company’s first model to be assembled in China. A while ago we found out Acura trademarked the “CDX” moniker with the Chinese bureau and chances are this name will be used for the high-riding model. Acura calls it a “compact SUV,” but reports are suggesting the CDX will be a rebadged variant of the Honda HR-V which is a subcompact crossover.

 

One possible explanation is the model will be more than just a case of rebadging, with Acura possibly making the CDX a little bit bigger to fit into the compact genre. That would makes sense taking into account rear legroom is very important in China, so the CDX could get a stretched wheelbase and maybe a bigger trunk. The fact that it’s going to be made locally is another indication the model could be different than the HR-V, especially since Acura says it’s “all-new.”

 

It’s worth mentioning that Acura trademarked the “CDX” designation not only in China, but also in United States and there are reasons to believe it will hit stateside for the 2017 or 2018 model year. The U.S. model could simply be a posh HR-V.

 

We will find out the identity of Acura’s China-bound compact SUV on April 25 when the Beijing Motor Show will open its doors for the press.
