Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®)

What exactly is Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ technology? This available AWD system bolsters performance and handling like traditional all-wheel drive, but does so smarter than ever before so you can have the most seamless transitions on Freehold roads. The system automatically adjusts power sent to front and rear wheel by constantly monitoring:

• Wheel speed
• Steering angle
• Lateral G-force
• Yaw rate

By continually sensing these measurements, your Acura AWD system sends 90% of power to front wheels when driving in a straight line for added fuel efficiency. Conversely, it can transfer 45% of engine power to the rear wheels during aggressive acceleration to increase your traction and control, and even increase stability by revolving the outside rear wheel up to 2.7% faster than the other wheels on tight turns.
