Acura, the luxury division of Honda have opened up their first showroom in Kuwait. I passed by the first time two weeks ago before they opened and was given a tour of the place, and earlier today I went back to take some photos now that it’s actually open. According to the Acura representative who was showing me around, the Acura showroom in Kuwait is the largest Acura showroom in the world. They actually don’t like calling it a showroom but instead prefer using the world facility since it’s a one stop shop for everything Acura.
Acura is a premium brand and the showroom lives up to it. The building is huge and very tastefully decorated with lots of light colors and lots of natural daylight everywhere. As I said earlier, they prefer to call it a facility because of the fact you have the main showroom in the front, a quick service garage in the back, a body and paint shop in the basements and a spare parts store all under the same roof.
Right now the dealer is carrying two Acura models to start off with, the TLX which is a four-door luxury sedan and the MDX which is their luxury SUV. My first question obviously was if they were getting the NSX since thats the car I’m extremely interested in. Turns out they will be getting it once it launches next year. Not only that but their facility is already prepared for it, they have a special location on the showroom floor where they will be displaying the car as well as a special section of their garage designed specifically for the NSX maintenance.
I can’t believe its taken this long for Acura to get here but glad it’s here now that the NSX is getting released. The new showroom is located in Al-Rai right next to Xcite Electronics. Their opening hours are from 8:30AM to 8:00PM.

It’s important to mention that Al-Mulla is the dealer, not Al-Ghanim.
Yeah that was going to be question to Mark, which local partner’s logo are we going to see on the back of the car?
Very sharp, crisp showroom design. Love the open layout and clean feel it gives off, but I’m particularly excited by the fact that they’ve consolidated all their facilities like the body/paint shop/service yard into one building.
Hopefully this’ll encourage other dealers to upgrade their facilities. Porsche, for instance, operates their main dealer which has a madly overcrowded service area but also operates another service facility near Abyat for vehicles older than four years old and also uses the Behbehani/Volkswagen body/paint shop near Audi – bit of a mess when you have to run around from place to place to get things done. I heard they’re opening a massive new facility in 2015/6 so that remains to be seen.
It’s not as luxury as Lexus or Infiniti and design is ugly as well compared to this two make, some models even looks worse than original Honda. Noting special or exciting about this brand (for me)… I was always wandering why some people likes to buy cars like Acura or Lincoln. There are always better options available in same price range.
Lexus is just a rebadged Toyota with LEDs…
well, ACURA is also a re-badged HONDA with an adaptive cruse cruse control..
Acura is like putting make-up on a pig…………it’s still a pig.
Fugly car by all means >.<"
But the place looks like nice and neat, but I wonder on their prices for the cars if they are cheap or expansive or like what's the lowest price on a car. so it can be compared to other car brands out there
*Their opening hours š
Acuras looked much better in the 2000s. The current grille is not to my liking.
this company is gonna flop in kuwait
you are not the one to dicide that it will be flop
you see within 2 years how it go acura with give big hit to infinity and luxus
I thought Honda were gonna bring the NSX to Kuwait…
Not much of a difference to me though, I ain’t buying it lol
I wonder if Honda will also bring it, Honda belongs to Alghanim so they’re gonna want to sell it as well
Not they won’t Mark, coz the NSX is only Acura this time and there won’t be a Honda version if it.
I’m pretty sure there will be a Honda version.
Then you’d be wrong.
Acura is not made for every one. It is best quality car. Check their historical records.
I will soon visit their showroom it is looks outstanding. Thank you Markfor highlighting this brand arrival.
Dear Mark thank you very much for the news about the Acura. I went to their show room, it is amazing. I took the test drive on the TLX, I was very surprised with its super handling capability. I have ended up buying it, after trading my car of similar category. Mark I canassire you, it is the best knits class.
