Wearing the same “Jewel Eye” headlights as the new RLX, Acura unveiled its next-generation 2014 MDX SUV in prototype form today at the Detroit Auto Show.

Unfortunately, the fact that it’s a prototype and not a production model means Acura isn’t showing the car’s interior, but Acura says the version shown here is a “strong indication” of what’s to come with the next model. What that seems to be, not surprisingly, is an SUV styled much like the RLX flagship sedan Acura unveiled during the L.A. Auto Show late last year.
