Acura is the luxury and performance division of the Japanese automaker Honda. Honda Motor Company owns and manufactures Acura vehicles
. Acura was created by Honda in 1986 to enter the luxury car market, combining Honda's reliability with upscale features. Acura vehicles are primarily produced in North America, especially at several plants in Ohio. Key manufacturing locations include:
- Marysville plant: Produces Acura ILX, TLX, and NSX models.
- East Liberty plant: Produces Acura MDX and RDX.
- Anna plant: Manufactures engine and drivetrain components.
- Russells Point plant: Produces transmissions and four-wheel-drive system components
Thus, while Acura operates as a distinct luxury brand with its own identity and dealerships, it is fully owned and made by Honda.
