The Sundance Film Festival is a prestigious event with international acclaim. It's only fitting that a top auto manufacturer would be chosen as a key representation of the event and its associated community. In 2026, Acura is honored that one of its vehicles, the 2026 MDX, has been selected to honor Robert Redford, founder of the Sundance Institute. The event will also include an auction for the Acura NSX Roadster, which made its debut in the film "The Avengers."
About the 2026 Sundance Film Festival
The 2026 Sundance Film Festival has many experiences and events in store for fans. The event has historically served as a platform to support and highlight emerging voices in the film industry and independent artists. Acura has served as a sponsor of the Sundance Film Festival for over 15 years, and this year, the automaker has rightfully earned a spot among the top-recognized sponsors. In 2026, Acura's fan-favorite vehicle, the MDX, will be honored as the Official Vehicle of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. The popular MDX will be used as one of the official transport vehicles for community film festival members to and from the event, and the MDX will also transport film festival community members to associated activities throughout Park City, UT, where the event will take place. In addition to transporting film community members and serving as an official Sundance Film Festival vehicle, the MDX will be displayed at Acura's House of Energy for fans to admire.
Acura's Enduring Legacy
While it's an accomplishment for an automaker to have one vehicle selected as a Sundance Film Festival honoree in any given year, Acura has another vehicle that will receive honorable mention at the event as well. The Acura NSX Roadster, which was featured in “The Avengers,” was recently displayed at an event called “Celebrating Sundance Institute: A Tribute to Founder Robert Redford.” Acura was selected as an automaker of distinction to represent Robert Redford at the event because of its ability to showcase independent artists and their storytelling, a key driver of the Sundance Film Festival.
Acura House of Energy
The Acura House of Energy is a fun-filled branch of the Sundance Film Festival. The House of Energy features live music, a lineup of key actors, directors, writers, and producers, and a generally warm welcome for festival attendees. This year, attendees can also admire the MDX and the NSX Roadster as part of the event's festivities.
