What’s Special About Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive?

Power is delivered seamlessly and agility is noticeably improved as energy distribution between front and rear wheels, as well as between the rear wheels, is adjusted based on wheel speed, steering angle, lateral G-force, and yaw rate analysis.

• When you’re cruising along in a straight line, 90% of power is sent to the front wheels to prioritize efficiency.

• During hard acceleration, 45% of power is transferred to the rear wheels to fully harness available rear-wheel traction.

• When you’re carving through a curve, 70% of effective torque can be sent to the rear to improve cornering ability.

It’s that last point that really brings home the improved performance of vehicles fitted with Acura’s SH-AWD system — it adds more than a dash of track-like brilliance to your drive, expertly leveraging engine power for electrifying capability as well as all-weather, all-terrain peace of mind.
