2022 Acura NSX – Acura’s flagship car isn’t a massive sedan or even a fully decked-out full-sized SUV. It’s The 2022 NSX Type S sports car that is powered by a hybrid powertrain. Twin-turbo V-6 with three electric motors join together to deliver a blazing speed, but it also lets you enjoy silent, electric-only driving to ensure that neighbors won’t be able to hear cows whenever you go through your neighborhood. Similar sports cars priced at the same level as those like the McLaren 570S and the Mercedes-AMG GT provide better handling or greater power output, but the NSX is more manageable to manage in the day-to-day. There are, however, certain disadvantages, such as the old-fashioned interior and infotainment system. the interior storage capacity of the NSX is also not a lot.

We have both good as well as bad. The positive news is that the 2022 NSX will sport the highly-coveted Type S badge and come with a 600 horsepower version of the supercar’s twin-turbo hybrid V-6 powertrain. Standard. The bad news is that 2022 is the last NSX model year before its demise and only 300 units are available across the U.S. Alongside the revved-up engine, The 2022 model will sport a modified front-end design and Type S badges. Acura does not separate the NSX collection into trims. There’s one model that can be modified to suit your needs. Acura hasn’t announced prices on the brand Model S’s new Type S model yet, and we don’t have a complete list of optional and standard options, but we’ll update this article with the details as soon as we get the information.
Engine and Performance
While it’s certainly going to satisfy your desire for speed but the NSX cannot keep up with some major competitors, like its Audi R8 or the McLaren 570S. We tested it and it was still able to record lightning-fast speeds and was able to complete the 3.1-second sprint from 0 to 60 mph using the 573-hp version of the hybrid powertrain. Its Quiet mode that is electric only, however, provides something that its competitors don’t the luxury of discretion. This NSX Type S’s 600-hp hybrid-electric engine combines two turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engines with three electric motors. Its V-6, the dual-clutch 9-speed automatic transmission along with one motor from the electrical system work together to drive both rear wheels. Two electric motors function separately to power the front wheel, thereby providing the NSX with an all-wheel drive. For Quiet and Sport mode the steering is precise and precise, but not heavy to the touch. is what we believe is an attempt to allow the NSX to feel more agile throughout the day. The configuration, however, feels unnatural on an engine-driven car. In Sport Plus and Track modes, the electric-power-steering system dials in more weight. Whatever the setting the steering is precise and the car responds well to any input from the driver.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Hybrid cars perform better in stop-and-go city traffic than their gasoline-only counterparts which is why this NSX is no exception. Its EPA score of 21mpg in the city is better than those of the Audi R8 V-10 by a staggering 7 mpg. Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Porsche 911 Carrera 4S matches the NSX’s 21-mpg ratings in the city, and is a step ahead of its NSX when driving on highways, with 28 mpg. In comparison, the NSX is rated at 22 mpg on the highway. In our actual highway fuel-economy test, the NSX was able to deliver a respectable 23 mpg, surpassing its EPA rating slightly, but it was still behind its nonhybrid counterparts. For more information on the NSX’s fuel consumption go to the website of the EPA.
Interior & Exterior
As a supercar for everyday use, The NSX is comfortable and easy to use for most people to be a regular drivers. However, its interior doesn’t offer the luxurious feel and premium amenities you’d expect from an Acura car or even one which is designed to compete against the best of England as well as Germany. Our test car featured the optional leather-and-faux-suede seats, faux-suede headliner, and carbon-fiber-trimmed steering wheel. The vibrant red leather was appealing to the youngest of our team, but others found it unappealing and too juvenile. Although the seats are comfy, however, we’d like more support for the thighs, and the most enthusiastic drivers are likely to want additional side bolstering, too. If it’s advertised as an everyday supercar, the interior storage compartments aren’t particularly comfortable. The trunk is right to the left of the engine and could be difficult to transport your Haagen-Dazs. We also managed to fit only one of our carrying-on luggage bags in the trunk’s tiny space.

Infotainment and Connectivity
A 7.0-inch touchscreen system for infotainment with integrated navigation is standard and can be connected with the ELS Studio nine-speaker stereo. Similar to other interior elements the touchscreen is taken from less expensive Acuras and Hondas and the same issues that we have with them apply to this one, too. The user interface is old-fashioned, and we discovered the menu system to be confusing. In addition, the absence of redundant buttons, as well as the bulky volume slider, making it difficult to make precise adjustments, add another level of difficulty.
Safety and Features
The lack of driver assistance features may be a cause for concern for consumers who value safety however, a robust airbag system can provide a reasonable degree of protection.
