Acura of North Toronto

What Acura of North Toronto does

Acura of North Toronto (operating as Acura of Thornhill) is an authorized Acura automotive dealership located at 88 Steeles Ave West in Thornhill, Ontario, serving the Greater Toronto Area including Thornhill, Vaughan, Markham, and Woodbridge. Founded in 1995 and operating with 22 employees, the dealership sells new 2026 Acura vehicles across four model lines — Integra (sedan, from $44,901), ADX (compact SUV, from $49,806), RDX (compact SUV, from $58,426), and MDX (three-row SUV, from $72,206) — with 69 new units in stock. It also retails 95 pre-owned vehicles including 4 Acura Certified Pre-Owned units and 8 hybrids, spanning Acura, Honda, BMW, Jeep, Dodge, Ford, Genesis, Hyundai, and Lexus brands.

The business operates four revenue streams: new vehicle sales, pre-owned sales, finance and insurance products (through First Canada Car Loan and Pfaff Leasing), and a service and parts operation offering certified maintenance, genuine Acura parts, a tire shop, auto body referrals to Pfaff Auto Works, an at-home valet service, and a lifetime oil and filter program. The digital layer is built on the D2C Media dealer website platform with online finance applications, trade-in valuation, payment calculators, and express request forms integrated into the buyer funnel, supported by SEO targeting of local queries and a Facebook social presence.

The dealership is a privately held subsidiary within Lithia Motors (NYSE: LAD), one of the largest North American automotive retail groups, which provides corporate scale, brand association, careers infrastructure, and investor relations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Strategic posture is largely defined by upstream OEM decisions: Acura's August 2025 announcement of the new RSX electric SUV and simultaneous retirement of the TLX sedan, followed by the October 2025 discontinuation of the ZDX, are reshaping the active product portfolio the dealership can retail.
