Acura ZDX 2013, it will disappear from the market

The luxury midsize SUV that had drawn a nice figure, whose lines were similar to those of the popular BMW X6, has only one year to live.

The production of this vehicle in Alliston Ontario plant alongside the Acura MDX, Honda Civic and CR-V will end in 2013.

A decision related to the fact that the production of the Acura MDX will be transferred next year, the U.S. plant in Lincoln, Alabama. The minivan and Pilot Ridgeline are also assembled there.

The Acura ZDX has never been able to fulfill its mandate, as its sales in North America were extremely disappointing, and since its launch in 2009.

With the departure of the Acura ZDX at the end of 2013, there is every reason to believe that the next version of the imposing MDX should take its rightful place. A new SUV that will be unveiled in 2013.
