Acura Is Reportedly Planning a New Three-Row SUV Flagship That'll Slot Above the MDX
- Acura is developing a larger three-row SUV that'll sit atop its lineup, according to a report by Automotive News.

- Dubbed the "Acura XL," plans are still in the preliminary phase, and production isn't expected to start until September 2029.

Then the financial crisis happened, and the brand's aspirations for a V-8-powered, rear-wheel-drive platform were thrown in the bin. Acura scaled down its five-vehicle proposal and filed away the rest of its notebooks.
