2020 Acura NSX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2020 Acura NSX is essentially a carryover from 2019; the main change is that the rear spoiler moved from standard equipment to optional. Its 573-hp hybrid powertrain, chassis tuning, and cabin technology stayed the same.
About the 2020 Acura NSX
2nd gen (2017-2022), fourth model year, after the 2019 chassis and tuning update
Acura positions the NSX as a driver-centered supercar that blends exotic-car speed with real-world livability. Acura’s own NSX history and engineering material emphasize a “New Sports eXperience” built around hybrid power, immediate all-wheel-drive response, strong visibility, comfort, and everyday usability. That makes the NSX different from many rivals: it aims to be very fast and technically advanced without feeling punishing or hard to live with.
The 2020 NSX comes in one SH-AWD trim, positioned as a hybrid supercar that balances strong performance with everyday comfort and visibility. Its twin-turbo V6 and three electric motors produce 573 horsepower and power all four wheels through a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Adjustable suspension modes, strong Brembo brakes, heated sport seats, navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto round out the package.
