Is Acura Imported?

Acura is imported, and it also has domestically produced models. Among the imported Acura models, the SUV lineup includes the Acura MDX, Acura RDX (imported), and Acura ZDX (discontinued); the sports car is the Acura NSX; the sedan models include the Acura ILX (discontinued), Acura TLX (discontinued), Acura RLX (discontinued), Acura TL (discontinued), and Acura RL (discontinued). The Acura RDX engine has replaced the 2.3T engine of the older model with a 3.5L V6 engine, paired with a lighter new SH-AWD all-wheel-drive system. In terms of body dimensions, the Acura RDX measures 4675mm in length, 1870mm in width, and 1680mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2685mm.

I've always been particularly interested in car brands, especially Acura. As Honda's luxury division, Acura primarily manufactures in the U.S. and Canada, with models like the MDX and RDX produced at plants in Ohio. For the Chinese market, these vehicles were mostly sold through imports due to the absence of local production lines in the past, meaning buyers had to bear additional tariffs and shipping costs, leading to higher prices. I once test drove a friend's TLX—it had strong power, stable handling, and a refined interior, but its price was significantly higher than comparable domestically produced luxury cars, and replacement parts were hard to come by. Now that Acura has exited the Chinese market, it's quite a pity. Its design and reliability are commendable, and I look forward to the possibility of its return in the future.

When I was considering buying a car, I researched Acura models and found that it was classified as an imported brand in the domestic market, with all vehicles sold being shipped from overseas. The salesperson explained that this increased costs, naturally driving up the price, and combined with maintenance expenses and waiting times, the experience was less convenient than with domestic cars. In the end, I didn't choose Acura and opted for a local brand to save money and hassle, although its quality and design were very appealing. Overall, its imported status limited sales and affected consumer choices, and its exit from the market might be a strategic adjustment. I hope more people learn about its history.

When I was younger, I drove an Acura Integra, which I remember was a classic model imported from Japan, with a smooth and fuel-efficient engine. In the Chinese market, Acura used to be exclusively imported, without local production, so maintenance costs were high, but the quality was reliable. Now, it's basically withdrawn from the market, and while you can still find them in the used car market, new models are rare. As an owner, I feel that although the import model has a sentimental appeal, the actual expenses are high, making it less practical than local brands.
