New Acura SUV to be manufactured in central Ohio
Acura, the luxury division of automaker Honda, debuted its new MDX SUV at the New York International Auto Show this Wednesday, and it’s not just Tokyo that has a stake in the new vehicle.
It turns out that the new MDX will be manufactured in central Ohio for the first time at the company’s East Liberty plant.
The automaker says that the 2017 model of the MDX is an ambitious redesign of previous models, using modifications to the interior and exterior to play up the luxury appeal of the vehicle.
