We are able to additionally anticipate updates to the Honda Civic — most notably amongst them the introduction of the Hybrid mannequin for the brand new sedan and hatchback — and fewer important updates right here and there all through each lineups.
We all know little about this new child Acura crossover other than what it is not, and that is a direct import of the CDX offered abroad. Scratch that notion out of your thoughts solely. Honda would not remark additional, however we suspect the small CUV’s elementary structure might be shared with the Honda HR-V, although we would not be shocked to see it profit from a powertrain improve. This isn’t to be confused with the Acura ZDX, which is the all-electric crossover attributable to arrive nearly any day now . The ZDX is bigger and shares its underpinnings not with something of Honda’s, however fairly GM’s Ultium platform. Elsewhere at Acura, we are able to anticipate a radical inside and exterior replace of the MDX and “upgrades” to the RDX.
Over at Honda, Civic Hybrid is now formally go. It’ll launch this yr on each the sedan and hatchback alongside a broader replace that may embrace new styling components (teased above) and inside upgrades; anticipate extra nearer to launch. Honda stated the Odyssey will obtain updates for the mannequin yr too, however didn’t elaborate on what to anticipate from the hassle. We anticipate extra on that later in 2024.
