Honda Motor Co., Ltd. introduced plans to introduce two U.S.-built fashions, the Acura Integra Type S and Honda Passport TrailSport Elite, to the Japanese market within the second half of 2026. This transfer leverages a brand new, simplified certification system for U.S.-made passenger automobiles established by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
The Acura Integra Type S and Honda Passport TrailSport Elite are manufactured by Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, LLC. Honda goals to boost its product lineup in Japan to satisfy various buyer wants by reverse-importing these fashions.
Both fashions have been showcased on the Tokyo Auto Salon and Osaka Auto Messe earlier in 2026, the place they generated important curiosity amongst attendees. The Acura Integra Type S is thought for its high-performance options, together with a 6-speed handbook transmission and a 2-liter turbocharged engine, whereas the Honda Passport TrailSport Elite presents sturdy off-road capabilities alongside a snug on-road expertise.
