You can use re.findall to get all the matches, though you'll get them in a list, and you don't need capture groups:

m = re.findall('\[[^\[\]]*\]', '[Honda] Japanese manufacturer [VTEC] Name of electronic lift control')

Gives ['[Honda]', '[VTEC]'] so you can get each with:

print(m[0])
# => [Honda]

print(m[1])
# => [VTEC]
