The Exhilaration of Driving

Breakthrough performance gives you a closer connection to the road.

Performance happens when driver and machine work together as one. When the car becomes an extension of the driver’s will. When you stop thinking about control and begin to feel it. That’s performance we measure not on a stopwatch, but in our hearts.

REINVENTION

Uncompromising Performance

The Type S badge isn’t given, it’s earned. Inspired by legends like the TL and RSX Type S, the new generation of the Type S goes faster, stops quicker, and turns harder for a sportier, more adrenaline-filled drive every time you hit the pedal. But ambition never takes a break. As part of the electrified era, the ZDX Type S will usher in the future of Precision Crafted PerformanceTM.

INNOVATIONS

Proof in Practice

Innovation is our obsession. When you look at our cars, you see it. Every refinement across the entire model line results in better performance on the road.

Acura MDX double wishbone suspension

Double Wishbone

Inspired by Formula One racecar engineering, we were one of the first to adopt this suspension design in vehicles that weren’t always on a racetrack. Currently available on the TLX and MDX, the double wishbone suspension features superior dynamic characteristics that create almost instantaneous reaction to changes, resulting in impressive handling with every drive.

Super Handling All-Wheel Drive

Super Handling All-Wheel Drive

Acura engineers set out to build a revolutionary all-wheel drive system that would strategically distribute power among the wheels for a performance gain that would surpass any other drive system out there. The resulting Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) is available in TLX, MDX and RDX.

TESTING

The Hard Way

To ensure power and precise handling, we put performance to every ultimate test. From carving through snow to tearing up sand, our vehicles endure countless hours of the harshest conditions we can throw at them.
