The Acura CDX is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV produced by Acura, a luxury vehicle division of Honda, for the Chinese market. The CDX was manufactured by Guangqi Honda. The car made its debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2016. The CDX was produced at the Zengcheng Plant in Guangzhou, China and was available from July 2016[5][6] until April 2022, when Acura announced that the brand would be leaving from the Chinese market.[7]

Upon release, the CDX was planned as a Chinese domestic model, as Acura announcing it has no plans to launch in North America.[8] According to Jon Ikeda, group vice president of Acura USA, Acura had considered selling the CDX in the United States, though that ultimately never happened.[9]

In 2020, an A-Spec variant of the CDX was released, featuring more aggressive styling, blacked-out plastic trim, two-tone mirrors, and unique 18-inch wheels.[10]
