Acura RDX 2007, Specfications

Page: 9 / 13

The closest anyone has come to reinventing the wheel:
The groundbreaking Acura Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™
system. The world’s most advanced all-wheel drive technology,
fine-tuned for the RDX, helps you gain more traction in less
than perfect conditions, and gives you the confidence to carve
precision corners in every other condition.
1. DURING STRAIGHT-LINE
ACCELERATION
The groundbreaking SH-AWD™
system offers dramatically
enhanced traction, control
and acceleration in all weather
or loose road conditions.
Accelerate and the system
directs up to 45% of the engine’s
torque to the rear wheels to,
in turn, deliver full power
to the ground.
2. DURING A MODERATE
CORNER
SH-AWD delivers a remarkably
neutral steering feel as the
rear wheels help generate
cornering power. Electronic
sensors monitor the speed
and tightness of the turn,
and automatically varies torque
to the outside cornering rear
wheel, resulting in enhanced
stability and driver control.
3. DURING ACCELERATION
THROUGH A CORNER
Here, the advanced SH-AWD
technology stands alone. Like
no other system, the outside
cornering wheel gets up to
100% of the rear wheel torque
and is accelerated to rotate
faster than the inside cornering
wheel, providing greater turning
force and an incredibly stable
corner line.
4. DURING STRAIGHT-LINE
CRUISING
SH-AWD’s sophisticated
electronic controls
automatically monitor road
conditions and alternate torque
from front to rear, as well as
splitting rear wheel torque from
left to right. The end result is
a continuously smooth, stable
ride in poor weather or road
conditions.
