Many of our new Acura models come with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), and we've received some questions about what this system provides. Drivers expect more traction from all-wheel drive vehicles because power is sent to all four wheels, but the Acura system goes further for additional benefits. Below, we cover those Acura SH-AWD benefits and cover this drivetrain option.
All-wheel drive systems often send torque to the front and rear axles, but they don't always send power to the correct wheel. Super Handling All-Wheel Drive can decide how much torque to send to each rear wheel, which helps when cornering or if only one wheel is experiencing slippage. This all-wheel drive system has torque vectoring for greater control and acceleration out of turns, which makes new Acura SH-AWD models some of the most fun options on the market! You can find Acura models with SH-AWD whether you're looking at new SUVs or Acura sports cars.
