A Future Acura SUV EV built on GM architectureīack in the real world, Acura’s first EV will be built in partnership with General Motors, which means it will get GM’s Ultium battery technology and platform. That includes the muscular, trapezoidal body lines, the characteristic diamond mesh grille and angular lighting like on the TLX, MDX and new Integra. In 2016 Acura unveiled another idea car with the same name that has since defined the brand’s current design language. “Precision” is in both the brand’s tagline (“Precision Crafted Performance”) and previously tied to its history of influential concepts. If the Precision name sounds familiar, it should. Like the original 2010 to 2013 ZDX, the Precision EV and the production version were styled at Acura’s design facilities in California. When it goes on sale, the production version of the Precision EV will resurrect the ZDX name. Spiritual Lounge tucks the steering wheel away for (theoretical) autonomous driving and fills the cabin with water-themed lighting and “soothing scents.”Īcura’s presentation this evening highlighted the sustainable materials used to build the concept, including recycled plastic trim, biomass leather and recycled aluminum.

There are tons of compound angles and swooping shapes that give the cockpit a sense of movement and wavelike forms.Īcura says that the Precision EV Concept will offer two driving modes: “Instinctive Drive Mode” and “Spiritual Lounge Mode.” Instinctive, indicated by digital sport-style instrumentation and a red lighting treatment, offers the driver the ability to control the car with the yoke steering wheel. At the center of the vehicle sits what Acura says is a preview of a future infotainment screen: A large, curved, transparent touchscreen with haptic feedback. The unconventional wheel sits in front of a curved dash and small screen, presumably a driver’s instrument panel. Inside the futuristic cockpit, which Acura says is inspired by Formula 1 racers, the driver gets a wide yoke-style steering wheel with a transparent bar in the middle. From the rear, the body appears wider than the greenhouse, giving the Precision EV Concept a wide and slightly squat look. The grille styling echoes that of the MDX, Acura’s best-selling SUV, and the midsize TLX sedan, which was also Acura’s most buzzworthy car in years until this the 2023 Integra came on the scene at last year’s Monterey Car Week.Īcura says that the design is inspired by “luxury Italian powerboats,” and the rear gets a slight boattail styling with a split spoiler, topped with a single, red taillight fin.

The crossover-style EV gets a low-slung floating roofline, frameless windows all around and a blindingly bright “Particle Glitch” grille with a similar pattern echoed onto the concept’s huge five-spoke wheels. Last week, ahead of the events at Car Week on the Monterey Bay peninsula, Acura offered up a short teaser of the Precision and followed it with photos earlier today, now we’ve gotten to see it in the flesh and learn more about Acura’s plans. The first hint of the luxury brand’s all-electric future, the Precision offers a glimpse of the design language Acura plans to use its future electric vehicles starting with the 2024 ZDX SUV, which will closely mirror the Precision EV in shape and style.
Abigail BassettĪcura took the wraps off of its Precision EV concept this evening at a private event in Carmel, California, adjacent to the annual Monterey Car Week. The Acura Precision EV, with style inspired by Italian power boats and Formula 1 cars, heralds the arrival of the luxury brand’s first all-electric vehicle, the 2024 ZDX.
