Acura was the first Japanese premium brand, several years ahead of Lexus and Infiniti. Since then, its model range has gradually expanded and now includes several sedans and crossover SUVs. The compact ILX and new TLX sedans are intended to rejuvenate Acura sales. The MDX SUV continues to be one of its best-selling models. Looking forward, the next NSX sports car promises to raise Acura's profile among enthusiasts.
