Acura, the luxury division of Honda, is known for its precision-crafted vehicles. The first Japanese luxury car brand, Acura debuted in the United States in 1986, paving the way for other Japanese brands like Lexus and Infiniti. Often compared to Lexus, Acura cars tend to score higher marks on their upscale interiors and sporty performance, while Lexus vehicles are considered to be a bit more reliable. The Acura lineup is fairly small but offers a nice variety of body styles for the discerning driver, including the entry-level Acura ILX sedan, the popular Acura MDX SUV and the dynamic Acura NSX supercar.

Acura history and innovation
Acura launched in Canada in 1987, a year after the brand's global debut in the United States. Despite doubts that a Japanese automaker could compete with luxury European car brands, Acura found quick success in North America with their first two vehicles, the Acura Legend sedan and the Acura Integra coupe. In 1989, Acura debuted the NSX supercar, a powerful sports car that combines track-ready performance with everyday practicality. The Acura MDX, the first three-row luxury crossover SUV, was introduced in 2000 and remains one of the brand's top-selling models today. Acura is also known for a variety of innovative technological advancements, including developing the world's first in-dash navigation system in 1997, the first all-aluminum car body in 1989 and being the first carmaker to use multi-valve engines across their lineup.
