What is Acura SH-AWD®?

Acura SH-AWD® is an advanced all-wheel drive system which boosts handling agility in addition to providing stability in slippery weather conditions wherever you drive in and around Belmont. The current fourth generation Acura SH-AWD® is more capable than ever, and its responsiveness has increased by 30%. Check out how Acura SH-AWD® works to provide you with a smooth and confident ride:

• Automatically determines the power distribution between the front and rear wheels based on wheel speed, angle, and yaw rate.
• Sends up to 90% of power to the front wheels when cruising down a straight road, which helps to improve fuel economy.
• Shifts weight towards the rear wheels when accelerating to boost 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 spinning the outside rear wheel faster than the others to help the vehicle through a turn.
