Honda Motor Co. and its Acura luxury unit each will introduce new crossover vehicles later this month at the Beijing auto show. Both vehicles will be built exclusively in China.
Honda will take the wraps off the production version of its 2015 Concept D model. The yet-to-be-named model will be slotted above the CR-V and serve as the brand’s flagship model in China.
The new Acura compact crossover is expected to be a toned-down version of the SUV-X concept that was unveiled at the 2013 Shanghai auto show. Media reports say the vehicle will share some components with Honda’s HR-V entry-level crossover.

2015 NAIAS Seen (or Scene)
Patrick Wong, photographer and designer, braved the snow and single-digit temperatures that were outside of Detroit’s Cobo Center and found several vehicles of visual interest. . . . FORD GT This is a car that was rumored to be coming, yet which was kept undercover exceedingly well so that when it was revealed, the gasps in Joe Louis Arena caused a momentary lack of oxygen in the room: ACURA NSX Acura’s stand was directly across from Ford’s. And Acura revealed the production version of the NSX. Some argued that Acura should have challenged Ford to a race through the slippery streets of downtown Detroit. It would have probably won, because this hybrid as all-wheel-drive: ALFA ROMEO 4C SPIDER The question is whether this is a study in Italian sexiness or lightweight. This car features a body of SMC, a carbon-fiber monocoque, aluminum chassis and engine mounting components, and an all-aluminum, 237-hp turbocharged engine. And yes, you can remove the carbon-fiber roof: VOLKSWAGEN CROSS COUPE GTE American drivers are snapping up crossover vehicles of all size with vigor of late. And so Volkswagen has wisely decided that because it has that giant manufacturing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that’s making Passats that are sedans, not crossovers, it needs to do something. And that something is the Cross Coupe GTE, a seven-passenger crossover that will go into production near the end of 2016. Oh, and it is a hybrid.
