However, the Type-S is the next step up from A-spec in terms of the overall performance options Acura has to offer. Type-S models will come with enhanced engine options, as well as the premium interior and exterior options. The Type-S package was introduced in 2000 on the TL Type-S model and was last seen in 2008.

What is the difference between FWD and AWD, and what is SH-AWD? FWD stands for Front Wheel Drive, meaning the power is delivered to the front wheels of the vehicle. AWD stands for All-Wheel Drive, meaning the power is being delivered to all the wheels.

This clutch mechanism is electronically controlled, allowing the SH-AWD system to alter torque delivery to the rear wheels at all times. Acura's SH-AWD system helps to deliver better traction and grip. It also improves handling and stability on all types of roads and in any weather condition.
