The carmaker decided to implements Acura’s Precision Crafted design, so the compact crossover sports an enlarged diamond pentagon grille and huge headlights, as well as highly pronounced fenders. The design has plenty of similarities with the new MDX, which is a little bit funny because the 2017 CDX sports disproportional parts, especially in the front. Looking inside, you will find pretty similar design to the HR-V. Still, the CDX will get more premium materials and better equipment.
