History & Heritage

Acura was founded in 1986 by Honda Motor Company, and is headquartered in Torrance, California, USA. Over the decades the brand has grown from its early roots into a name recognised by drivers around the world, shaped by its engineering choices, design language and the people who build and drive its cars.

The specifications on this site let you trace how Acura vehicles have evolved in size, power and equipment over time.
