Who owns Honda?

Honda’s FactBooks identify Honda Motor Co. and its regional operations. Acura belongs to the same Honda business, so it should not be confused with an outside manufacturer that acquired Honda. [1][2]

Who actually makes Honda products?

The 2025 US plant table identifies Honda Development & Manufacturing of America operations. Honda’s February 2025 release separately describes Ohio plants preparing to build combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles on flexible lines. [1][3]

Where are Honda products made?

Honda’s 2025 FactBook lists CR-V and CR-V hybrid production at East Liberty, Ohio, alongside Acura RDX and MDX. The same book lists other North American sites separately; East Liberty is not a universal Honda factory. [1]

Is Honda made in China or the USA?

Yes, Honda makes vehicles in the USA. Its North American manufacturing records also cover Canada and Mexico, so a Honda badge or Japanese corporate ownership alone cannot establish the assembly country of a particular vehicle. [1]

Same factory, different label

Honda and Acura share manufacturing operations: East Liberty’s model table is a direct example. That supports a shared-site statement for the listed vehicles, not a claim that every Honda and Acura are the same car. [1]
