Where is Acura manufactured?
2 Answers
If it is an imported version of Acura, the production location is Japan. However, some models under the Acura brand have been domestically produced, with the domestic brand being GAC Acura. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Acura is a high-end luxury brand under Honda, established in the United States in 1986. The name Acura is derived from the Latin word 'Accuracy,' which means precision. 2. The Acura logo is actually a caliper, representing the standard of Acura's car manufacturing. 3. Models under the Acura brand include MDX, NSX, CDX, TLX-L, RDX, etc.
As someone who has long followed the automotive industry, I recall that Acura, Honda's luxury brand, is primarily produced in North America, especially in the United States. For instance, the Marysville plant in Ohio serves as its core manufacturing base, where popular models like the TLX and RDX are built. Of course, some high-end models such as the NSX are hand-assembled at the Tochigi factory in Japan to ensure performance and quality. Additionally, there was some collaborative production in China a few years ago, with models like those from GAC Honda being locally manufactured, though the focus may have shifted recently, given the brand's strategic inclination toward the North American market. This distribution seems quite logical—close to target consumers while leveraging supply chain advantages. Speaking of luxury car production, under the trend of globalization, it's common practice to establish factories in regions with lower costs and strong technical capabilities. Similar to BMW or Mercedes-Benz, which assemble vehicles across multiple global locations to mitigate transportation risks and enhance competitiveness.
