Where is Acura manufactured?
Acura vehicles are manufactured at Honda plants around the world, with the strongest concentration in the United States and Japan. In North America, the NSX is produced at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, while most other Acura models come from Honda facilities in Ohio and other regions. Globally, Acura models are built at selected Honda plants in Japan, Canada, and other regions to meet regional demand.
Key North American production sites
Here are the primary U.S. production sites that have historically served Acura model lines, reflecting the brand's North American manufacturing backbone.
- Marysville Auto Plant (Marysville, Ohio) — major hub for Acura models and a site that supports the NSX program through specialized work at the nearby Performance Manufacturing Center.
- East Liberty Auto Plant (East Liberty, Ohio) — long-running facility within Honda's Ohio network that has produced Acura models for the North American market.
- Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Marysville, Ohio — dedicated, state-of-the-art facility for assembling the Acura NSX supercar and related high-performance work.
These sites form the core of Acura's manufacturing footprint in the United States, enabling regional production and final assembly for the brand's lineup while supporting export and distribution to nearby markets.
Global manufacturing footprint
Acura's global production footprint spans Japan and other regions where Honda operates plants, allowing models and engines to be produced close to regional markets or consolidated in a central hub for export.
- Japan and Asia — Honda plants in Japan produce Acura models for domestic and select export markets, alongside other Asian facilities that support regional demand.
- Canada — Honda's Alliston plant in Ontario has historically formed part of Acura's North American supply chain, assembling models for regional markets as needed.
- Other regions — Honda's global network supports Acura production through regional plants and joint ventures, aligning with demand and regulatory requirements.
Across these regions, Acura relies on Honda's flexible production system to adapt to market demand, seasonal shifts, and product lifecycles, including the high-performance NSX program being centralized in Ohio.
Brand and market context
As Honda's luxury arm, Acura's manufacturing strategy emphasizes regional production to reduce transit times and optimize supply chains, while maintaining quality standards across its global operations. The exact plant assignments can shift with model years and market changes, so checking the specific vehicle's build information is the most reliable way to confirm origin.
Summary
Acura's manufacturing footprint is global but heavily oriented toward North America, with major production bases in the United States and a network that includes Japan and other regions to support regional model lines. This distributed approach helps Acura meet demand efficiently while leveraging Honda's expansive production ecosystem.
