Is Acura a Honda?
2 Answers
Acura is a Honda. Acura is a luxury brand under Honda, and most of Acura's models are imported. However, some models have been domestically produced, including the TLX-L, CDX, and RDX. The CDX is an entry-level SUV under the Acura brand. The CDX is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4496 mm in length, 1840 mm in width, and 1615 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660 mm. The CDX is equipped with two types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The model with the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is a hybrid version.
I remember researching this a while back—Acura really is Honda's own child! It was originally created by Honda specifically to break into the American luxury car market, just like Toyota's Lexus. A friend of mine who drives an Acura TLX always complains that during maintenance at the 4S店, even the technicians directly say, 'This car is essentially a rebadged Honda at its core'—the parts commonality rate is especially high. Take the new MDX sold domestically now, for example: its engine shares origins with Honda's flagship models, and even the infotainment system uses the same Honda CONNECT. However, Acura's tuning is more sporty, and their ads always hype up 'precision handling.' In reality, the chassis does feel noticeably stiffer than Honda's.
