CRAFTING WHAT'S NEXT

Inside the Acura Design Studio, designers and engineers push past convention and beyond the next auto show. Today's explorations shape the vehicles to come. Not every idea makes it out the door. But the ones that do? They won't be ignored.

THE S FACTOR

Where proportion meets purpose. That's the essence of Type S™. See how it takes shape.

01

Aerodynamics

Type S™ models are formed to perform. Every curve and contour is sculpted to redirect airflow, enhancing stability and generating downforce.

Available on MDX and Integra.

02

Refined Inside

The cabin is no less intentional. Ergonomic seats with Ultrasuede® accents and a leather-wrapped steering wheel create a sporty, tactile feel. Every detail is attuned to the drive.

Available on MDX and Integra.

03

Signature Design Elements

Type S™ is deliberate about details. A track-inspired exhaust system, aluminum-alloy wheels, and Brembo® front brake calipers set the tone for its performance.

Available on MDX and Integra.

ALLURING ALL AROUND

From first sketch to final form, a design language evolves. What follows is a precise balance of presence and performance, where every detail counts.

SCULPTED DESIGN

Whether it's a sporty Integra or three-row MDX, every Acura embodies a recognizable form defined by sharp lines, sculptural surfaces, and an uncompromising attention to detail.

PRECISION-CRAFTED SOUND

A soundtrack worthy of the drive. The available 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen® sound system delivers studio-quality audio, while Active Noise Cancellation helps minimize wind and engine noise. So there's less between you and the music.

Available on ADX and MDX.

A-SPEC™ STYLING

The race-inspired exterior and interior details of the A-SPEC™ Package give it an aggressive, sporty, and head-turning appearance.

Available on Integra, RDX, MDX and ADX.

JEWEL EYE® ILLUMINATION

Low, wide, and unmistakably striking. Acura's Jewel Eye® headlights mimic natural sunlight, with six-beam LEDs that boost colour clarity and help reduce fatigue at night.

01

PRECISE AIM


Brighter and whiter, Jewel Eye® LED headlights help to reduce night driving fatigue. Precisely aimed beams stretch across longer, wider surfaces, helping reveal more of the road ahead.

Available on Integra, RDX, and MDX.

02

DOWN-ROAD VISIBILITY

Jewel Eye® lights replicate natural sunlight, bringing more clarity to every night drive. Designed to activate 200 milliseconds faster than conventional lights, the high beams deliver 17 feet of added stopping distance at 100 km/h.

Available on Integra, RDX, and MDX.

03

LINEAR DESIGN

You know them when you see them. Jewel Eye® headlights are an iconic element of the Acura profile. Powerful and crystalline, they're as striking unlit as they are illuminated.

Available on Integra, RDX, and MDX.

CRAFTED FOR TOUCH

Quality over everything. From available perforated Milano leather to smooth Ultrasuede®, each surface is intentional. Whether it’s the 7-seat MDX or the 5-seat Integra, you can see and feel the material difference.
