Acura will debut a prototype of the next-generation MDX luxury sport utility vehicle during the 2013 North American International Auto Show.

The 2014 MDX prototype will feature alluring proportions with smooth, arching body lines matched to an efficient architecture, according to the Honda Motor Co. luxury brand.

Acura recently released a teaser graphic of the vehicle (embedded right), which is set to be one of more than 40 vehicle debuts at show next month.

The Japanese automaker's American arm is also expected to unveil a new SUV at the 2013 NAIAS.

The majority of those introductions, like in 2012, are expected to be world debuts. The 2012 Detroit auto show featured 42 vehicle introductions, including 38 worldwide debuts -- 12 concept vehicles and 26 production models.

More than 770,000 people attended the 2012 NAIAS during its public days, as well as another 40,000 during the events leading up to the public show dates.

If attendance trends continue, the 2013 NAIAS should top those numbers. Also for 2012, media registrations increased by about 15-20 percent and charity preview sales increased double digits as well.

The 2013 NAIAS is open to the public from Jan. 19-27. More than 40 unveilings from the world’s top automakers are expected during the show’s press preview days Jan. 14 and 15, followed by industry days Jan. 16 and 17. The charity preview, which raised $3 million last year, is Jan. 18.
