The Sundance Film Festival holds a reputation as a world-renowned cinematic event. It is only natural for a leading automotive brand to represent the festival's artistic community. In 2026, Acura is proud to announce that the 2026 MDX has been chosen to honor Robert Redford, the founder of the Sundance Institute. Furthermore, the event will feature an auction for the Acura NSX Roadster, famously seen in the film "The Avengers."

About the 2026 Sundance Film Festival

A wide variety of events and unique experiences await guests at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. This gathering has a long history of serving as a vital platform for independent artists and highlighting emerging talent within the movie industry. Acura has maintained its sponsorship for over 15 years, and this year the brand has secured a prominent position among the festival's top-tier partners. In 2026, the popular MDX will be celebrated as the Official Vehicle of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. This model will serve as an official transport vehicle, moving festival members to various activities and locations throughout Park City, UT. In addition to its role in guest transportation, the MDX will be showcased at the Acura House of Energy for attendees to view.

Acura's Enduring Legacy

While having a single model selected as a festival honoree is a major milestone, Acura will actually have two vehicles receiving special recognition this year. The Acura NSX Roadster, which appeared in "The Avengers," was recently part of a "Celebrating Sundance Institute: A Tribute to Founder Robert Redford" presentation. Because of its commitment to supporting independent storytelling and creative voices—the core mission of the Sundance Film Festival—Acura was chosen as the distinguished automaker to represent Robert Redford at this tribute.

Acura House of Energy

The Acura House of Energy serves as an exciting destination within the broader Sundance Film Festival. This venue provides a welcoming atmosphere for guests and features a schedule of live music, as well as appearances by notable writers, directors, and actors. This year, festival visitors can also stop by to appreciate the MDX and NSX Roadster while enjoying the festivities.
