What is the Acura Vigor?
The Acura Vigor was a four-door premium sedan sold in North America for the 1992–1994 model years. It sat between the Integra and Legend in Acura’s range, offering a mid-size option with a distinctive five-cylinder engine. Its clean, formal styling suited drivers looking for a comfortable everyday sedan with a little extra character.
Acura is Honda’s luxury marque. The Vigor paired a front-wheel-drive layout with an engine mounted lengthwise, an unusual arrangement for a sedan of this type.
