Acura's production location and related introduction: 1. Imported Acura models are mainly produced in Japan. 2. Some models under the Acura brand have been domestically produced, with the domestic brand being GAC Acura. This brand was established in the United States in 1986. The name 'Acura' is derived from the Latin word 'Accuracy,' meaning precision. The Acura logo actually represents a brake caliper, symbolizing the brand's manufacturing standards. Acura's model lineup includes the MDX, NSX, CDX, TLX-L, RDX, among others. The domestically produced Acura models include the CDX, TLX-L, and RDX.

I've driven quite a few Acura vehicles and noticed their production locations are quite diverse. I remember when I first bought an MDX, the salesperson told me it was manufactured at Honda's Ohio plant in the U.S., which serves as Acura's primary production base in North America. Later, when I switched to an Integra, I checked the nameplate and found it was produced in Tochigi, Japan. To reduce costs and localize production, Honda has strategically placed its luxury brand Acura's manufacturing in these locations—targeting different markets: SUVs like the RDX are made in the U.S., while Japan focuses on high-end sports cars. This strategy ensures quality consistency, and in my personal experience, the differences are minimal. When choosing a car, there's no need to overthink the production location. Instead, focus more on maintenance records and test-drive impressions—after all, globalized production ensures reliability. I recommend owners ask dealers for details, check official websites, and confirm the specific model's production origin.

As an ordinary car owner, I bought an Acura TLX two years ago, and the salesperson explained its manufacturing origin in detail. It's primarily made in Ohio, USA, or Tochigi, Japan, depending on the model. The U.S. factory produces popular models like SUVs, catering to local demand and reducing shipping time; the Japanese factory manufactures more specialized Integra series, possibly with more refined craftsmanship. I don't think it makes much difference—my U.S.-made one runs smoothly, and as long as maintenance is simple, it's fine. Honda's decentralized production approach is quite smart, reducing tariff risks and making the car prices more affordable. I've discussed this in car owner groups, and some believe Japanese-made models are more durable, but the differences in daily use are subtle. When buying a car, you can check the manual or door frame info to easily find out. In short, the origin isn't a key driving factor—enjoying the driving experience is what matters most.

I'm a young car enthusiast who frequents automotive forums. Acura's production is mainly in North America and Japan: the Ohio plant manufactures SUVs like the MDX, while the Tochigi factory produces high-performance models such as the Integra. Honda has set up these facilities for market localization, making production more efficient. We young people don't pay much attention to these details when buying cars—all Acuras are of guaranteed quality and cool to drive. Just check the VIN online to find out the origin, hassle-free.

What Causes the Brake Noise in Binyue?

The causes of brake noise in Binyue: 1. If it is a new car, because the brake pads and brake discs are new and still in the break-in period, they may produce a slight hissing sound, which is normal; 2. There is foreign matter between the brake pads and brake discs; 3. On rainy days or when there is water in the brake discs, the brake pads and brake discs are relatively damp, and braking at low speeds can easily cause a vibrating whining sound; 4. The brake discs and brake pads are stuck together due to rust. Binyue is an A-class SUV under Geely Auto. In terms of appearance, the headlights feature sharp angles, complemented by two arc-shaped LED daytime running lights, making them more dynamic and sharp. The C-shaped fog light frames are treated with a three-dimensional effect, giving a strong sense of power. In terms of power, Binyue is equipped with the golden power combination of a 1.5TD turbocharged engine jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, paired with a 7DCT transmission. The 1.5TD engine adopts direct fuel injection technology, delivering a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 255Nm.

What is the temperature inside a car engine compartment?

The temperature inside a car engine compartment is approximately 90 degrees Celsius. Due to the obstruction of the engine hood, the hot air in the engine compartment cannot escape from the top. Moving backward towards the cabin, this area is isolated by a firewall, which is wrapped with aluminum foil reflective film and insulation cotton, making it difficult for heat to transfer into the cabin. Therefore, the heat can only be expelled from the bottom of the engine compartment. During normal driving, even if the cooling fan is not operating, the incoming airflow from the grille can achieve the same cooling effect. Additionally, the high-speed airflow passing beneath the vehicle's chassis creates a certain negative pressure at the bottom of the engine compartment, drawing out and carrying away the hot air. When idling in place, the engine temperature rises rapidly because there is no airflow to dissipate the heat from the engine compartment.

Does Electric Power Steering Require Oil?

There are two types of electric power steering systems. One is the pure electric power steering commonly used in Japanese cars, which is directly driven by an electric motor and does not require replacing power steering fluid. The other type, commonly used in European and American vehicles, employs an electric motor as the oil pump for the power steering system, with the hydraulic fluid from the pump driving the steering mechanism. This type of system uses power steering fluid, which should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers to prevent contamination or deterioration. Characteristics of electric power steering: 1. It significantly improves both dynamic and static performance of the vehicle; 2. Reduces fuel consumption; 3. Enhances steering responsiveness; 4. Improves handling stability; 5. Enhances steering return characteristics; 6. Reduces environmental pollution, aligning with the trend of green technology; 7. Features a simple system structure and compact size.

What Are the Reasons Why an Electric Vehicle Cannot Shift Gears?

Electric vehicles cannot shift gears for the following reasons: 1. Lack of transmission oil: If the transmission components are low on oil, shifting gears will become difficult. Transmission oil is similar to engine oil, serving to lubricate the gear components. If the transmission is low on oil, it should be replenished promptly. 2. Rust on the transmission input shaft: The clutch driven disc cannot move normally, leading to poor return and preventing the gear from engaging along the normal path, thus making it difficult to shift gears. 3. Clutch malfunction: This results in insufficient clutch release travel, causing incomplete clutch disengagement and preventing gear engagement. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a repair shop to adjust the release travel.

What to Do If Windshield Washer Fluid is Accidentally Added to the Antifreeze?

Solutions for accidentally adding windshield washer fluid to the antifreeze: If the windshield washer fluid has just been added to the antifreeze and the car has not been started yet, drain all the contaminated antifreeze, rinse with clean water twice, and then replace it with new antifreeze. If the car has been running for some time and the windshield washer fluid has already entered the antifreeze pipeline system, it is necessary to thoroughly clean and replace the antifreeze. The car should be towed to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for cleaning. Windshield washer fluid not only lowers the freezing point of the antifreeze but also reduces its boiling point. Engine cooling is achieved through the radiator antifreeze. A lower boiling point means the engine cannot be effectively cooled, leading to increased engine temperature. This causes the engine oil to lose viscosity, reducing its lubrication performance and posing significant harm to the vehicle. Additionally, windshield washer fluid is corrosive.
