Who Owns Acura?

If you’ve been driving Acura models for years, you may be wondering who owns the Acura brand. Let’s learn the ins and outs of the Acura manufacturing system with the help of Acura of Baton Rouge.

Does Honda Make Acura?

The rumors are true! The company who owns Acura is known as Honda Motor Company, Ltd. During the 1980’s it suddenly became more profitable for Japanese companies to export high-end automobiles to the US as opposed to automobiles that were more economically priced. This was due to restrictions imposed on automobile exports to America by the government of Japan. So, in 1986, Honda created Japan’s very first luxury car company, and called it “Acura”. Honda moved most of the manufacturing for the new company to Marysville, Ohio, where you’ll find most of the dedicated people who make Acura cars.
