Acura is #1
Acura wins top value award and earns highest safety ratings
Acura Financial Services launched April 20, 2009
Acura is #1 Acura has the highest expected resale value of any luxury brand
As the winner of the 2009 Automotive Leasing Guide (ALG) Residual Value Award for Overall Luxury Brand*, Acura vehicles have earned the distinction of having the highest expected resale value of any luxury brand. With such meticulous engineering, craftsmanship and forward-looking technology, it's little wonder that Acura vehicles are built to last—and that Acura was awarded the top prize.

The only brand to receive top safety ratings from IIHS and NHTSA across all models
Acura is the first car company ever to receive Top Safety Pick designations from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for every one of its vehicles. All five 2009 Acura models, both passenger cars and SUVs, earned "good"—the highest score possible—on frontal, side and rear crash tests. In addition, Acura is the only luxury brand to receive five-star crash test safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)** for all of its models, as a result of the government's front and side impact tests.

But impact tests are only part of Acura's safety success story. Our myriad of advanced technologies help prevent collisions from ever happening, thanks to state-of-the-art features like Active Front Lighting System (AFS), Brake Assist, Electronic Brake Distribution, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), and Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™).
