How Does the Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive System Work?

Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive Performance Feature

All-wheel drive performance can impact your driving experience in many ways and in many situations. In ideal driving situations, the all-wheel drive can promote more responsive handling and traction at higher speeds and while cornering. In poor weather and road conditions, improved traction delivers a more confident and safer driving experience. Overall, all-wheel drive systems can improve day-to-day driving, but how do they work and what are the benefits? Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive performance feature is one of the most advanced all-wheel drive systems available and can be equipped on several Acura models for improved handling.

The question still remains, how does the Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system work? This system continuously and automatically directs engine power to the wheels dependent on weight distribution, traction as well as road and other conditions. Designed to improve handling in all situations, SH-AWD makes the 2015 Acura MDX and other models equipped with this system some of the most agile on the road, regardless of weather and road conditions.

In dry road conditions, the SH-AWD distributes power to take advantage of the shifting weight of your vehicle and improve handling. When you are accelerating quickly, weight shifts to the rear, so in response Super Handling All-Wheel Drive transfers up to 45% of the engine’s power to the rear axle to take advantage of the increased traction and increase acceleration. Sharper, more confident cornering is another advantage of SH-AWD. When cornering under hard acceleration, this innovative performance feature shifts up to 70% of torque to the rear wheels, which can be further directed to the outside wheels for sharper handling.

Super Handling All-Wheel Drive also provides safer more confident performance in poor weather and road conditions. If the system feels wheels slipping it works in conjunction with the Vehicle Stability Assist system and will automatically deliver more power to wheels with better traction and away from those slipping. If the system feels the front wheels slipping, it will apply more force to the rear wheels until traction on the front wheels is re-established. With Super Handling All-Wheel Drive equipped on your 2015 Acura TLX you are more than ready to handle any weather conditions.

The Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive performance feature is an innovative system that benefits drivers looking for a more spirited drive or more confident handling in poor weather or road conditions. Available on multiple Acura models, SH-AWD takes this luxury brand to another level of performance.
