The Acura Precision EV Concept reveals the brand’s new design language for its big step towards electrification. For now, the company is just teasing the vehicle’s nose, but the full debut happens on August 18 during Monterey Car Week.
The 12-second video above shows a little more than the teaser image. From the small part that is visible, we can see that the Precision EV Concept has a blue illuminated grille with a mesh pattern in front. The Acura badge in the center also lit up. On the outer corners, the headlights have a triangular shape, and a narrow strip appears from them that extends to the center of the nose.
The lower fascia includes an arch-shaped opening. Judging from the video, this section also has a small element that lights up.
The video doesn’t show much else about the Precision EV Concept. There appears to be an elevated element along the belt line and around the fender.
What’s unclear at this point is whether the Acura Precision EV Concept is linked to the Honda Prologue EV. The model uses the General Motors Ultium platform and goes on sale in 2024. When Honda announced its electric crossover, Honda confirmed an Acura version would be coming but would not provide additional details.
According to previous rumors, the production version of Acura EV will arrive sometime in calendar year 2024 ride the GM Ultium platform. Production of the Honda version is expected to take place at GM’s Ramos Arizpe Manufacturing Complex in Mexico. Acura is supposed to be from Spring Hill Complex in Tennessee with Cadillac Lyriq.
On December 22, 2021, Honda applied for a trademark in the US for the ADX. There is some speculation that this might be for the Acura EV.
So far, there are no mechanical details about the Acura or Honda EV. When announcing the Ultium battery, GM said there would be capacities ranging from 50 to 200 kilowatt hours. The mileage of this vehicle can reach 400 miles (644 kilometers). The company uses large format, pocket-style cells in horizontal or vertical stacks, depending on the application.
