About the Acura brand
Japan founded in 1986 Model range
The Japanese brand Acura was founded in 1986 as the luxury division of Honda. The brand was created specifically for the US market, where most of its cars are now assembled. The name "Acura" is artificial, has no specific meaning, and is derived from the Latin "Acu," implying precision and accuracy.
Acura's model lineup includes both premium versions of Honda models (e.g., RL, built on the Legend platform, and TSX, based on the Accord) and vehicles that have no European counterparts (such as TL, RDX, and MDX).
