A few more photos of the Acura NEXERA Vision in na A few more photos of the Acura NEXERA Vision in natural light, captured yesterday at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.

During Acura’s press conference, Acura Creative Director and Vice President Yasutake Tsuchida presented the vehicle, which shared the stage with some OG Acuras, including a first-generation Legend and first-generation Integra.

The NEXERA Vision concept introduces a new exterior and interior design language for the brand, with some of its styling expected to appear on the next generation Acura RDX Hybrid.

Finished in Matte Titanium, the sleek coupe features dual hinge butterfly doors, active aerodynamics and a distinctive new lighting signature. Look closely and you’ll notice the headlights and taillights were inspired by the “A” mark in the Acura logo. We’ve already seen this new taillight design on the Acura Hybrid SUV Prototype.

Inside, the NEXERA Vision features a sharp, contemporary cockpit with sustainable materials, forged carbon and gloss black finishes. Materials include recycled aluminum, Alcantara and CircuLeather.

Acura will unveil the NEXERA Vision at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, on Friday, August 14, before showcasing the concept on the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Concept Lawn on Sunday, August 16.

The teaser shows the "X-wing" tail light configuration seen on the Acura Hybrid SUV Prototype, suggesting the concept could be an SUV or SUV-inspired vehicle. What do you think?

The new three-row SUV would slot above the MDX and is expected to feature an all-new large-vehicle hybrid powertrain. Production is reportedly slated to begin in September 2029 at Honda's Lincoln, Alabama, plant.

For the 4th of July Parade in Juneau, Alaska, a custom-built, full-scale Maisto toy box returned this year, this time with a 1996 Acura NSX-T inside.

It featured some fun details, including the clear plastic "ties" that keep the doors from opening, along with a nostalgic $21.95 price tag.
