Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof
E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute
OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable
Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.
Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots
About Acura
Acura is the premium automobile division of Honda Motor Co., headquartered in Japan and known for its blend of performance engineering, precision design, and advanced technology. Since its debut in North America in the mid-1980s, Acura has served as Honda's innovation laboratory, introducing high-performance sedans and SUVs that reflect the brand's "Precision Crafted Performance" philosophy.
Now entering a new era of electrification, Acura is positioning itself at the forefront of Honda's transition to zero-emission mobility. The brand's first battery-electric vehicle, the Acura ZDX, is built on General Motors' Ultium EV platform and represents the first step in a comprehensive shift toward fully electric powertrains. The high-performance ZDX Type S variant underscores Acura's intent to maintain its dynamic character even as it moves away from internal combustion.
Future Acura EVs will be developed on Honda's proprietary e:Architecture, integrating next-generation battery systems, high-density motors, and advanced driver-assist technologies. This approach will allow Acura to deliver its signature handling precision while offering extended range, faster charging, and seamless digital connectivity across models and markets.
Acura's electric strategy focuses primarily on premium SUVs and crossovers, but future sedans and performance models are expected as the brand expands globally. Each new generation of Acura EVs aims to combine sustainability, performance, and craftsmanship, reflecting the company's commitment to achieve 100 percent zero-emission vehicle sales by 2040.
