What is Acura SH-AWD®?

The Acura SH-AWD®, or Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system is essential to providing a smooth ride and better handling on New Haven roads. If you’re driving on rough or uneven roads, or are driving in tough weather conditions, your Acura SH-AWD® automatically distributes weight and power evenly among your tires so you can have optimal traction for seamless turns and safer stops. Your Acura SH-AWD® gives you better traction, and uses driver input to better your performance. The available Acura SH-AWD® system also upgrades your performance in a variety of other ways such as:

• Determines the power distribution between the front and rear wheels based on wheel speed, angle, and yaw rate.
• Improves fuel economy by sending up to 90% of power to the front wheels when cruising down a straight road.
• Shifts weight towards the rear wheels when accelerating, helping drivers gain more traction.
• Sends 70% of torque to the rear wheels and applies it exclusively to the outside wheel as weight is shifted when accelerating on a curve.
• Increases stability by revolving the outside rear wheel faster than the others to help the vehicle through a turn.

What Acura Models Come With AWD?

To meet the different needs of drivers on Fairfield roads, you can find the Acura SH-AWD® system on several of the brand’s well known models as well as some of its top-performing sports options. The Acura ILX is the only sedan that does not feature Acura AWD capabilities, but provides reliable handling with its standard FWD drivetrain.

• Acura TLX AWD
