Acura Sport Hybrid Performance

  • Vern Eide Acura Sport Hybrid Performance Slider

A New Type of Hybrid in Sioux Falls

Hybrid cars in Sioux Falls are all fairly similar and generic, with the exception of Acura’s Sport Hybrid models. NSX is the first supercar powered by a bespoke Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), 573-hp power unit that is an absolute game-changer. Engine power and direct electric torque combine for a new kind of dynamic performance—not just in acceleration—but in steering and braking too. Join Vern Eide Acura as we explore the Sport Hybrid system and the Acura Sport Hybrid SH-AWD models.

Sport Hybrid SH-AWD Models

South Dakota roads have never seen hybrid performance like this. Acura’s revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system is enhanced by an electric Twin Motor Unit (TMU), engineered to independently distribute torque to each rear wheel (front on NSX) for on-rails handling at the will of the driver. Acura has a hybrid SUV in MDX and hybrid sedan in RLX, and below is a list of feature upgrades that come along with the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD powertrain.

The TMU creates torque vectoring, which automatically generates turning force, putting positive torque on the outside wheel and negative torque on the inside wheel – converting power distribution into unprecedented control.
