ACE™ Body Structure Explained

At Speedcraft Acura, safety is more than just a feature; it’s a commitment we build into every vehicle we manufacture. One of the standout innovations in Acura’s safety technology is the next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure. Designed to enhance occupant protection and improve crash compatibility, the ACE™ structure prioritizes the well-being of you and your passengers.

What is the ACE™ Body Structure?

The ACE™ body structure is a cutting-edge design that uses a sophisticated network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly across the front of the vehicle during a collision. This innovative approach ensures better protection for everyone inside the car.

Enhanced Protection for Frontal Crashes

One of the most significant advancements in this generation of ACE™ is the inclusion of extra braces at the front corners. These additions play a critical role in absorbing and dispersing crash energy, particularly from narrow offset collisions—scenarios where only a small section of the vehicle’s front end bears the brunt of an impact.

How Does It Work?

  • Energy Distribution: The outer braces in the ACE™ structure are designed to channel impact forces toward the center of the frame. By bringing these forces to the center, the crash energy can be distributed more evenly around the cabin area.
  • Passenger Protection: The enhanced frontal crash energy management system minimizes the forces transferred to the passenger compartment, creating a safer environment for all occupants.
  • Crash Compatibility: The ACE™ system not only protects your vehicle’s passengers but also helps to more evenly disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles involved in a crash, making it a safer system for everyone on the road.

Why It Matters

At Acura, we understand that your safety—and the safety of your loved ones—is your top priority. That’s why we work tirelessly to engineer vehicles that offer peace of mind, no matter what the road throws your way. The ACE™ body structure is a testament to our promise of delivering exceptional safety features that go beyond industry standards.

When you drive an Acura, you’re not just driving a luxury vehicle; you’re driving a car built with care and precision to protect what matters most to you.
