Acura’s Future Includes More Models in Popular Segments

With plans to jump from four cars on offer to six, Acura is hoping to break into higher-volume segments and increase its overall sales.

Burgers, baseball, and big SUVs. These are the things Americans like. At the moment, Acura doesn’t cater to any of the three. The automaker is hoping to change that in the near future as it expands its lineup from four models on offer to six. While it doesn’t have any plans (that we know of) concerning burgers or baseball, the automaker has confirmed plans for a new full-size three-row SUV as well as a new off-roader.

Acura confirmed the plans for both SUVs earlier this month, and now a new report from Automotive News gives more insight into the automaker’s expected trajectory. The off-roader, which the report says is being referred to internally as the “Acura Passport,” will, as the name implies, be based on the Honda Passport. Specifically, it will be based on the rugged TrailSport version of the Passport. According to the report, the Acura won’t just be a badge job. Instead, Acura plans to give the SUV unique sheetmetal, a more upright front end, knobbier tires, and more distinctive hood styling.

While it’s somewhat hard to believe that Acura hasn’t had an off-roader since the ’90s, it’s equally hard to wrap your head around the fact that the brand simply doesn’t offer a full-size three-row SUV. Fret not. Acura has plans to add a larger SUV to its lineup, and we finally have a few details.
