Are all acuras made in the USA?
Not all. Acura uses a global manufacturing footprint, with several models produced in the United States and others built abroad for different markets. The exact country of assembly for a given car can vary by model and year.
ACURA, the luxury division of Honda, markets vehicles worldwide. For buyers in the United States, most mainstream Acuras are assembled at North American plants, and a standout exception is the NSX, which is manufactured at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. Beyond the United States, Acura has supported overseas production to serve foreign markets, meaning some models are built outside the U.S. for export or local sales. Vehicle origin is typically listed on the Monroney window sticker and in official model materials. Production sites can shift with new model years or regional strategy.
Where Acuras are Built
Here is a snapshot of Acura's current manufacturing footprint to help readers understand the landscape:
- United States production: The NSX is assembled at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. Other Acura models destined for the U.S. market are built at North American Honda plants, with the exact site varying by model and year.
- International production: Some models sold outside the United States are produced at overseas plants to serve local demand and regional supply chains.
- Global strategy: Acura maintains a mixed manufacturing footprint across North America and abroad to optimize capacity, efficiency, and market access.
Concluding: For buyers and enthusiasts, the key takeaway is that Acura’s manufacturing footprint is global. The specific origin of a given vehicle can change with model updates or regional strategies, so verifying the production location for a specific car is prudent.
How to Verify a Specific Acura’s Production Origin
To confirm the exact plant that built a particular Acura, use these steps:
- Check the window sticker (Monroney label) on the vehicle, which lists the country or plant of manufacture.
- Decode the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) using an official decoder; some VINs include plant codes that identify the assembling facility.
- Consult the model’s official page or recent Acura press materials for the vehicle year to confirm production locations.
In practice, if you’re shopping, your dealer can provide the precise production site for the exact car you’re considering, and you can also compare window stickers across similar trims and years.
Summary
In short, not all Acuras are made in the USA. Acura’s production network spans North American plants as well as overseas facilities to support global demand. For any given model and year, the precise country or plant of origin should be verified on the vehicle’s window sticker or through official Acura materials.
