Zero-Collision Society

We’ve always taken risks, but we have a vision to eliminate them on the road. It’s our goal to ultimately create a zero-collision society with our sedans and SUVs.

The number 100 is circled above each vehicle. Illustration d’un VUS Acura argenté circulant sur une autoroute. Les lignes bleues qui jaillissent de l’avant du véhicule simulent la portée des capteurs et sont projetées sur un véhicule qui le devance. Le nombre 100 est encerclé au-dessus de chaque véhicule.

Collision Mitigation

The Collision Mitigation Braking System™ can alert you to obstacles detected ahead. Using both radar and camera, it’s programmed to provide visual alerts when it determines a crash is possible – and if you don’t react, it can automatically brake for you.

Les lignes jaunes qui jaillissent de l’avant du VUS simulent la portée des capteurs de proximité par rapport au véhicule jaune qui le devance.

See What’s Ahead

Our Jewel Eye™ LED headlights offer more than a look that’s distinctly Acura – they’re part of our commitment to helping you get there. The whiter, brighter LEDs, combined with fog lights and auto-dimming capabilities, provide clarity for almost any condition that may come into view.

Safety is Personal

When we say “think of drivers first”, we mean it. So when we get letters of thanks and appreciation for our safety, we take them to heart. We put them in a scrapbook. We look at them often. And we remember exactly why we do what we do.

Vehicle Stability Assist

In wet conditions, standard Vehicle Stability Assist can reduce the dangers of over- and under-steering and loss of traction, reducing torque and applying brake pressure to each wheel as needed. The adjustment is so quick that you may not even notice it’s happening – but when you arrive safely, you’ll be happy it was.

Standard on every Acura.

Blind Spot

Because roads can put you on the defensive, our Blind Spot Information system* is there to improve your situational awareness. The system’s indicators and warning beeps help you to be more cautious with every move.

Inherent Strength
