Acura Gives Early Look at the Nexera Before Official Debut, So Now We Know How the RDX Will Look
The concept’s phantom lighting and low-slung coupe shape will guide future Acura models, with the next-generation RDX Hybrid first in line.
On Friday, August 14, Acura debuted the Nexera Vision concept at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, previewing a new design language for the upcoming 2028 RDX Hybrid.
Penned by Acura Creative Director Yasutake Tsuchida, the concept features 'phantom lighting' that disappears when turned off and rides on 22-inch centerlock wheels finished in Matte Titanium.
Inside, the driver-focused cabin integrates seats directly into the floor with minimal physical controls, while the design 'demonstrat Acura's commitment to performance,' according to the automaker.
Production of the current RDX is winding down at the East Liberty Auto Plant in East Liberty, Ohio, as the brand officially announced a fourth-generation RDX hybrid arriving within 18 months.
Amid a shrinking portfolio, Acura canceled the RSX SUV after a cooling EV market, leaving the Nexera Vision to define the brand's hybrid design direction.
