Your Acura SUV Models Glossary: Branded Technology Explained

 

When you research Acura SUV models, the proprietary technology names can feel like a language of their own. Hall Acura Virginia Beach breaks each one down so you know what to look for. This glossary covers the key branded systems found across the Acura lineup, from driver-assistance technology to premium audio.

AcuraWatch™

AcuraWatch™ is a suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies that can monitor traffic, lane markings, and potential road hazards. When you're navigating Virginia Beach's busiest routes or merging onto I-264, these systems give you added confidence behind the wheel.

SH-AWD® (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive)

SH-AWD® distributes torque between axles and among the rear wheels individually to support traction and cornering stability. It is available across select Acura SUV models and gives you a more composed, planted feel when navigating slick or uneven pavement.

ELS Studio® Premium Audio

ELS Studio® Premium Audio is an acoustics system developed with Grammy Award-winning producer Elliot Scheiner and tuned for each Acura SUV model it equips. It transforms long commutes and weekend road trips into a listening experience that rewards detail and dynamic range.

Jewel Eye® LED Headlights

Jewel Eye® LED headlights use a multi-element design to deliver clear, precise illumination at night while giving each Acura a distinctive road presence. For you, that translates to improved visibility on unlit roads and an exterior profile that stands apart.

True Touchpad Interface™

The True Touchpad Interface™ places a high-precision touchpad on the center console, allowing you to control navigation, audio, and communication without reaching across the dashboard. The layout maps one-to-one with the center display, so the interaction feels immediate rather than learned.

AcuraLink®

AcuraLink® connects models like the Acura MDX to remote access features, maintenance alerts, and roadside assistance. It keeps you informed and reachable whether you're commuting through Norfolk or heading toward the coast for the weekend.

Road Departure Mitigation™

Road Departure Mitigation™ is part of the AcuraWatch™ safety suite, detecting when a vehicle drifts toward a lane departure or road edge and applying steering and braking assistance to keep you on course. It adds a practical layer of support on long highway stretches like I-64 through Hampton Roads.
