AcuraWatch: Standard safety for every Quebec driver
Whether you're navigating the streets of Montreal or merging onto Highway 20, safety isn’t optional—it’s essential. Acura understands this, which is why AcuraWatch is designed to anticipate road risks and support drivers without ever taking over control.
Included as standard equipment on all 2025 and 2026 Acura vehicles sold in Canada, this technology comes at no extra cost when you purchase from Acura Montreal Centre. The goal? A smoother, more confident drive—whether you’re in Brossard, Saint-Jerome, or crawling through the Turcot Interchange at rush hour.
Smart, subtle and always on
AcuraWatch acts like a digital co-pilot—attentive, responsive, and never intrusive. It combines radar, cameras, and sensors to continuously monitor your surroundings in real-time.
Here are the key features:
-
CMBS™ (Collision Mitigation Braking System) detects a potential frontal collision and can automatically apply the brakes to avoid or reduce impact.
-
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a safe distance from the car ahead—even in stop-and-go traffic on Décarie or Highway 15.
-
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) help you stay centred and alert, especially during long drives.
-
Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) activates if the system detects that the vehicle is about to leave the road—an invaluable tool during snowy Quebec winters.
-
Multi-angle rearview camera, plus available features like blind spot monitoring and road sign recognition on certain models.
All these systems work together to enhance peace of mind behind the wheel, especially in an urban environment like Montreal.

Designed for Quebec roads
This isn’t just lab-tested tech—it’s road-tested across Canada. Whether you're driving through a slippery alley in Le Plateau or heading north to Tremblant in a snowstorm, AcuraWatch keeps you covered.
Take the adaptive cruise control, for example. It makes bumper-to-bumper traffic more manageable, while the emergency braking reacts faster than most distracted drivers. Even in residential areas, LDW is especially useful when road markings are faint or covered by snow.
Models for every lifestyle
Acura didn’t reserve this technology for its luxury trims. AcuraWatch is included on all 2025–2026 models, including:
-
RDX – a compact urban SUV, perfect for Montreal families.
-
MDX – spacious and versatile, ideal for commuters and road trippers.
-
TLX – a bold, refined sport sedan.
-
Integra – a dynamic and agile choice for city life.
-
ADX and ZDX – the newest additions to the lineup, with the ZDX being fully electric and packed with tech.
No matter your driving habits, AcuraWatch is built in and ready to assist.

How it stacks up to competitors
So how does AcuraWatch compare to the rest? Systems like Toyota Safety Sense, Subaru EyeSight, and Honda Sensing offer many similar features—braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise. But Acura adds polish. The integration is smoother, the interface more intuitive, and the responsiveness often more refined.
Take the CMBS™ system—it reacts more subtly than other brands known for sudden braking. That’s a big advantage when driving in dense urban traffic where smoothness matters.
