Acura in America
Acura’s Commitment to America
At Jim Hudson Acura, we’re proud to represent a brand born from Honda’s legacy of innovation and built for drivers who expect more. Since Honda opened its first U.S. storefront in Los Angeles in 1959, the company has invested deeply in American manufacturing, engineering, and sustainability. Acura—launched in 1986 as the performance and luxury division of Honda—carries that commitment forward with precision-crafted vehicles proudly assembled right here in the U.S.
Honda’s U.S. Investment Powers Acura’s American Legacy
As a division of Honda, Acura benefits from the brand’s nearly $25 billion investment in U.S. operations. That investment goes far beyond factories—it fuels innovation, sustainability, advanced technology, and long-term support for American jobs. The result? Acura vehicles that aren’t just engineered for the road—they’re built right here in America.
Where Honda Builds—And Acura Thrives
Honda operates 12 manufacturing plants across the United States, producing vehicles, engines, and transmissions with advanced precision. These same facilities are home to many of the Acura models you know and trust—crafted with the same attention to detail, innovation, and quality that define both brands.
Powered by People
More than 30,000 associates work for Honda across the U.S., with many directly supporting the manufacturing of Acura vehicles. These skilled professionals are the reason Acura continues to deliver the precision, reliability, and craftsmanship drivers expect—right from communities just like yours.
Designed with Acura Drivers in Mind
Honda doesn’t just build vehicles in America—it designs them here, too. U.S.-based R&D teams have developed over 33 models tailored specifically for the American market. That expertise directly influences the Acura lineup, ensuring the vehicles you see on our lot are crafted for your lifestyle, your roads, and your expectations.
Supporting Local Suppliers
Honda partners with over 620 U.S. suppliers across 34 states—sourcing critical components used in the production of both Honda and Acura vehicles. These relationships support jobs in a wide range of industries and help keep Acura manufacturing efficient, high-quality, and close to home.
Made in the USA, Respected Worldwide
Honda-built vehicles—including many Acura models—are exported from the U.S. to 74 countries around the globe. That means the same precision-crafted quality built in local plants is trusted by drivers worldwide. It’s a clear sign that American-made excellence goes far—literally.
