Review and specifications
2019 Acura NSX
Acura has reincarnated its mid-engined supercar, updated with edgy styling and a hybrid powertrain. Its heart is a 75-degree, twin-turbo V6 and nine-speed dual-clutch transmission, teamed with three electric motors. One sits between the engine and rear drive wheels, to boost acceleration and braking. The other two are positioned at each front wheel, to provide all-wheel drive and quicker throttle response with improved torque distribution. Total output is 573 horsepower. Four driving modes range from Quiet to Track, providing choices to suit the driver's preferences. Compared to the lithe original NSX, the new model is about two inches longer and five inches wider. It is stunningly fast, yet remains surprisingly easy and civilized to drive for such a high-performance exotic. 2022 is the final year for the NSX.

Brand context
About Acura
Most Acuras are more luxurious and higher-priced versions of vehicles made by Honda, its parent company, similar to Lexus and Toyota or Infiniti and Nissan. In Acura’s case, the formula usually works well. Its sedans and SUVs have earned Consumer Reports’ recommendations for cabin comfort, handling, above-average reliability, and engines with smooth power delivery. Like Honda, Acura’s lineup is mainly SUVs, but includes some sedans. The Integra is an upgraded version of the Honda Civic, and competes with the most affordable vehicles from manufacturers like Audi and BMW. The TLX is similar, but slightly larger and more expensive. Acura’s SUVs range from midsized and three-row down to compact and two-row. Across the lineup, fuel economy is usually average. Despite Honda’s success with the technology, Acura sells no hybrids. For both new and used, reliability can vary between models, but the better options often near the top of our rankings.
