Is Acura Imported?
2 Answers
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.
