Acura has issued a voluntary recall on a trailer-hitch accessory kit designed for its 2014 MDX. A total of 652 kits are being recalled, though it’s believed that 340 of these have been fitted to the luxury SUVs. Fortunately, the MDX has only just gone on sale so some of these are likely to...

If you're excited about Acura's return to the NSX game, you're going to love this: the first video and sound clips of the new hybrid sports car on track. The tiny clip comes to us in Vine's increasingly familiar short form (UPDATE: there's a different video from Instagram now, too), but despite the...

Honda’s upmarket Acura division has been selling cars in China since 2006 so it has a long way to go to catch up to more established players in the world’s biggest car market. To strengthen its position, Acura has partnered with Chinese automaker Guangzhou, paving the way for the local...

Acura will launch a mid-size sedan next year that will serve as the replacement for both the TL and TSX lines, and we have the first spy shots of a prototype for it. The new sedan is expected to be labeled the TLX and fill the gap between the ILX and new RLX flagship, with Acura’s reformed...

Honda has issued a recall on certain versions of its Acura RSX and S2000 sports cars. The issue has to do with the cars’ brakes, so owners of the affected vehicles should take caution. The cars included in the recall are 2006 Acura RSX models built from January 18, 2006, through August 12...

Jerry Seinfeld’s Internet-only 2012 comedy sensation, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, was born from a rather simple thought. Seinfeld merged the things he likes (cars, coffee and relationships with fellow comedians) into a variable-length series, designed for easy viewing on tablet or...

With the introduction of the ILX, Acura’s aging TSX has been forced to compete with a much newer model that’s almost the same size and occupies a similar price segment. This has led to suggestion that the TSX may be dropped from Acura’s lineup or perhaps even merged with the TL to...

Acura’s redesigned MDX SUV (be sure to read our first drive) goes on sale this summer with a starting price of $43,185, including an $895 destination fee. The new price just slips in under the starting price of the outgoing 2013 MDX, though the 2014 MDX’s base trim features front-wheel...

Performance cars are about to enter a new era, one destined to be dominated by vehicle electrification, and in typical fashion it is the world of motorsport where the technology has been bred. It should come as little surprise then that the first round of electrified performance cars is coming from...

The Acura ILX sedan enters its second model year with a few more features—and a price hike of $1,000. Leather upholstery is now standard on all 2014 ILX models, with leatherette door liners. An eight-way power driver's seat, heated front seats, and a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera system have...

Acura’s 2014 RDX has been priced from $35,415, including a destination charge of $895. That represents a $200 increase on the starting price of the 2013 model, which was all-new last year. Apart from the price increase, the only major change is the addition of Kona Coffee exterior paint...

After a string of spy shots, teasers and an official prototype, Acura has finally revealed its new 2014 MDX in production trim. The third generation of the luxury SUV made its world debut today at the 2013 New York Auto Show, where it was confirmed the vehicle will hit showrooms this summer. The...

Luxury brand Acura is recalling certain models built between 2004 and 2008 for two separate recall campaigns. The recall for the 2005-06 Acura MDX and the 2005 Acura RL, relating to unintended braking, also extends to the 2005 Honda Pilot. At issue in this first recall is a capacitor that may have...

Acura has confirmed that the production version of redesigned 2014 MDX will be presented for the first time at the 2013 New York Auto Show next week. So far Acura has only shown the exterior of its new MDX, which was previewed in the form of the 2014 Acura MDX Prototype at the 2013 Detroit Auto...

Acura engineers have come up with a new welding technique that allows them to join ordinary steel components with lightweight aluminum pieces in a much simpler process than traditional methods. The key is a new “3D Lock Seam” structure, where the steel and aluminum pieces are layered...

While it was certainly outshone by the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and even the Ford F-150 Atlas Concept, the 2014 Acura MDX Prototype garnered a notable share of the attention at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. That's remarkable considering the big-name unveilings it was up against, and it...

Acura is slow-roasting the next-generation NSX to perfection, and if this latest concept is any indication, the wait just might be worth it. While the exterior of this latest concept isn't dramatically different from the previous concept car, there are a few key differences. The lines have been...

The 2014 Acura MDX, seen here in live images from this week’s Detroit Auto Show, is officially listed as a “prototype.” As with most new product introductions from Honda and Acura in recent years, we suspect the production version will look a lot like the vehicle pictured here...

Revealed in production trim at last year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, Acura’s flagship RLX sedan will begin arriving at dealers on March 15. To promote the car ahead of its launch, Acura dealers will kick off a test-drive oriented “Destination RLX” campaign in February. Five...

A new Acura NSX supercar is brewing, and though the concept versions we’ve seen don’t appear to resemble the original NSX in anyway, apart from also featuring a mid-engine layout and V-6 engine, the two cars do have some core commonality. Just like the original ‘New Sportscar...
