The A-Spec designation means first and foremost significantly more advanced versions of Acura vehicles, making the Japanese manufacturer claim that its vehicles inspire performance wherever they go, as they are so technologically advanced, elegant and high-performance.

Find out everything you need to know about the Acura A-Spec, which stands out above all for its distinctive style inside and out. Full technology packages and Acura-worthy performance also await you in these models.

Acura A-Spec: A Distinctive Look!

When you decide to purchase an Acura A-Spec vehicle, you're not only buying the ultimate Japanese brand, you're also buying a highly elegant, high-performance, and top-quality vehicle.

The A-Spec badge actually represents the high-performance division of cars and SUVs produced by A-Spec, which has already excelled in this field for many years, but which also adds ingenuity to its discoveries year after year.

For example, if you decide to get behind the wheel of a 2020 A-Spec Premium ILX, you'll get:

• A dark chrome trim on the front grille
• LED fog lights
• Dark lenses for the front and rear headlights
• A glossy black spoiler also covers the trunk lid

Apex blue pearl and Performance red pearl, available on A-Spec RDX and MDX variants, are also available on this stunning sedan.

While the basic and premium ILX versions have 17-inch alloy wheels, both A-Specs feature 18-inch wheels with a shark-grey finish. In addition to being very elegant, these wheels are fitted with low-profile tires that contribute to a comfortable ride and allow you to easily negotiate curves on country roads in Quebec, Canada and the United States.

An Equally Unique Interior

The interior of the A-Spec versions is also recognizable by the arched Piano black trim with inlaid chrome stripes that cut out the central part of the dashboard, as well as an aluminum pedal assembly and steering wheel with an A-Spec badge and a host of switches. Tight-fitting bucket seats are covered in ebony or red leather with black Ultrasuede panels. The red leather interior gets a lot of praise, and not only the seats but also the steering wheel and shift knob are finished with contrasting stitching.

Technology and Safety with Acura Watch

Like the other versions, A-Spec has dual dashboard displays with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A driver assistance package called AcuraWatch is also standard, including:

• The brake collision avoidance system with frontal collision warning
• The steering assist
• The adaptive cruise control
• The blind spot detection system
• The rear cross-traffic system

All in all, A-Spec means not only road performance with powerful and renewed powertrains, but also a whole range of elements, features and functionality tailored for you.

Acura Performance Vehicles

The Japanese automaker Acura never does things halfway and recognizes the needs of consumers of high-end vehicles. The example of the Acura ILX should not make us lose sight of the fact that the A-Spec badge of excellence is also found on these models:

• Acura TLX A-Spec 
• Acura RDX A-Spec 
• Acura MDX A-Spec 

Here is a glimpse of what you can expect behind the wheel of these high-performance models:

Moreover, the MDX enters a new generation and offers an even more inspiring and enjoyable ride. According to Julien Armado for Le Guide de l'auto:

"It's especially the responsiveness of the rear end that amazes
when you tackle a twisty road for the first time."

So whether it's a small sports car or a mid-size SUV, the Japanese automaker always manages to offer precise mechanics and performance that only gets better!
