SH-AWD stands for Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, Acura's advanced drivetrain system. Unlike regular all-wheel drive (AWD), SH-AWD can send up to 70% of engine power to the rear wheels and 100% of that power to either the left or right wheel. This smart system helps your Acura grip the road better in rain, snow, and during sharp turns. When you accelerate through a curve near Laurel, SH-AWD automatically shifts power to the outside rear wheel for better control.

The benefits of SH-AWD go beyond just bad weather. The system improves handling in all conditions by constantly adjusting power between wheels. This means better acceleration, more stable cornering, and improved fuel efficiency when you don't need extra traction. Drivers in Maryland appreciate how SH-AWD makes their daily drives safer and more enjoyable year-round.
