Acura brand sales remained fairly steady in January, with Acura light trucks demonstrating continued strength as RDX gained ground and MDX maintained a solid pace, even before dual sourcing of Acura’s three-row luxury SUV begins this spring in Ohio, promising increased supply.
- RDX sales were up 3.2 percent for the month, with 3,202 vehicles sold in January.

“In a month marked by major storms across the country, Acura maintained a steady pace with trucks leading the way,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of the Acura division. “And a strong showing of the Acura NSX GT3 in its debut at Daytona last weekend just adds to the momentum building around the Acura brand.”
