As an event of significant international stature, the Sundance Film Festival continues to draw global attention. It is highly appropriate that a top-tier vehicle manufacturer serves as a primary ambassador for the event. For the 2026 season, Acura is pleased that the 2026 MDX was selected to pay tribute to Robert Redford, who founded the Sundance Institute. The festivities will also include an auction for the Acura NSX Roadster, which made its cinematic debut in "The Avengers."

About the 2026 Sundance Film Festival

Attendees of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival can expect a diverse lineup of programs and interactive activities. For years, this event has functioned as a springboard for independent filmmakers and a showcase for new creative voices. Acura has been a dedicated sponsor for more than 15 years, earning its place among the most recognized partners of the festival. For 2026, the fan-favorite MDX has been designated the Official Vehicle of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. A fleet of MDX models will be used to transport festival community members throughout Park City, UT, providing transit to various screenings and events. Beyond its logistical duties, the MDX will be on display at the Acura House of Energy for fans to admire.

Acura's Enduring Legacy

It is a significant achievement for any manufacturer to have a vehicle honored at the festival, yet Acura has two distinct models receiving attention this year. The Acura NSX Roadster, which gained fame in "The Avengers," was recently highlighted during an event titled "Celebrating Sundance Institute: A Tribute to Founder Robert Redford." Acura was specifically selected to honor Robert Redford because of the brand's ability to champion independent artists, which aligns with the driving spirit of the Sundance Film Festival.

Acura House of Energy

The Acura House of Energy acts as a vibrant and engaging branch of the Sundance Film Festival experience. Offering a warm environment for all attendees, the House of Energy hosts live musical performances and a lineup of influential producers, actors, and directors. This year, festival attendees can also view the NSX Roadster and the MDX as part of the program.
