Honda has signed a new agreement with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. to produce Acura models in China. Honda and Guangzhou are planning to produce Acura models in China starting in 2016 to meet the growing demand of luxury vehicles in China.
Honda hasn’t announced what models will be produced in China, but it is likely that a new compact crossover based on the Acura SUV-X concept will be produced there. Guangzhou already produces Honda vehicles in China.

The move to produce vehicles in China is because of the high tariffs that are charged on vehicles that are imported into China. Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW also produce vehicles in China through local partners.
