Why Your Next Car Should Be An Acura

If you’re at that exciting stage where you’re actively looking for a new car in North Vancouver, then test-driving an Acura should be at the top of your list. Acura is Honda’s brand, known for its luxury and performance vehicles, founded way back in 1986.

Hondas are well-known for their reliability, so it only goes to follow that their luxury car division would follow the same ethos. Read on to see why putting in a few extra dollars for an Acura can be worth it.

Performance:

Honda’s cars are known to be workhorses. This has carried over into their luxury brand too. Acura’s “Precision Crafted Performance” tagline is embodied in every one of its models. The cars feature some top-notch powertrains with four-cylinder engines, V6s, and even the rarely seen hybrid option for its supercars. If you’re looking for a vehicle with some real pep, check out the 2021 Acura TLX with its Type S turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers 355 horsepower of pure performance.

Features like the Agile Handling Assist and automatic transmission (AT) with Grade Logic Control give you some serious control over your daily drive.

Safety and Tech:

Acura loves its tech. Apart from great infotainment systems with multi-speaker surround sound systems, Acura uses tech to enhance safety. Acura has several safety features including:

• Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system
• Traffic sign recognition
• Collision Mitigation Braking System.

In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have consistently rated Acura cars as among the safest over the years.

Affordability:

Acura gets rid of the misconception that pricey is always better. No-nonsense pricing is one of Acura’s strengths. Overall, Acura’s models are much more competitively priced than comparable luxury vehicles from other manufacturers. So, if you’re in the market for a luxury vehicle, purchasing an Acura can save you plenty of money.

Reliability and Maintenance:

Speaking of saving money, annual repair and maintenance costs for luxury vehicles can be quite high. As Acura feeds off of the Honda platform, which is known for its fairly priced maintenance, the cost of ownership is quite low when compared to other luxury cars. In fact, RepairPal gives Acura a Reliability Rating of 4.0 out of 5.0, which ranks it 2nd out of 32 for all car brands with an average annual repair cost for all Acura models is $501 per year.

Acuras also have great resale values. In fact, Motor1.com rates Acura among the top three luxury car brands that have great resale values along with Tesla and Lexus – yet another reason why Acura cars are great for your pocket.

In the Market for a Pre-Owned Car?

The reliability of an Acura makes it a serious contender if you’re on the market for a pre-owned luxury car. You will be able to find a wide range of models with all the top tech without having to pay the full sticker price.
