In the luxury-car marketplace, Acura is sometimes overlooked. It doesn’t have the decades of heritage you’d find from a European competitor, and it has a smaller model range than its Japanese competitor, Lexus. But Acura — which is the luxury division of Honda — sells stylish and high-tech sedans and crossovers, typically for less money than the biggest-name luxury brands.
Acura was the first Japanese luxury brand available in the U.S., debuting in 1986. While its flagship Legend sedan and NSX supercar established the new marque’s credibility, the more affordable Integra sports compact car was more popular. Today, it’s the spacious and refined RDX and MDX luxury crossovers that dominate the brand’s sales charts. Acura’s performance heritage remains alive with its Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system, which continuously redistributes the engine’s power among all four wheels to help guide the car around corners. The system is available on every Acura but the budget-priced ILX.
And while you might not think of Acura as a leader for hybrids, it sells gas-electric versions of the MDX as well as its RLX full-size sedan. And it also showcases the technology in a modern reincarnation of the NSX, a six-figure exotic that uses its electric motors to provide low-end torque to blast off the line
Most Acura models offer a base trim level, with upgrades available to the better-equipped Technology, sport-themed A-Spec, and top-of-the-line Advance.
