Leveraging the base-model’s impressive 290 horsepower, 267 lb-ft of torque V6 for fearless off-road travel and flawless all-weather traction, the 2017 Acura MDX with AWD adds an adventurous edge while optimizing safety.
Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) is the latest evolution in high-performance handling. It continuously and seamlessly directs engine power between all wheels depending on second-by-second weight distribution, lateral G-force, steering angle, wheel speed, and individual traction, resulting in cornering and control unmatched by rival systems. During hard acceleration, up to 45% of engine power goes to the rear wheels for optimal rear-wheel traction; when you corner, up to 70% of effective torque can go to the outside rear wheel. When cruising between Norman or Yukon into Oklahoma City, 90% of the power is sent to the front wheels for improved efficiency. In the words of Edmunds.com SH-AWD “whips this big SUV around corners and magically allows it to carve tighter lines.”
The 2017 Acura MDX with AWD is something you really have to experience for yourself. Find out more from Bob Howard Acura, or feel free to apply for financing directly.
