2010 Acura MDX
[ Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 | by automotiveroom | under Acura, CAR, New Cars ]The 7-passenger 2010 Acura MDX receives more aggressive styling in the form of new front and rear bodywork, a bold new front grille and numerous new trim enhancements. Under the hood, the Acura MDX receives a more refined 3.7L V-6 engine that teams with an all-new 6-speed automatic transmission for better performance and improved fuel efficiency. Inside, the Acura MDX receives a host of new features and technologies that make it even more luxurious.
Fuel burn is about what we expected. The EPA rates the 2010 Acura MDX at 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway sipping premium unleaded. During our 600-mile run, we consumed two full tanks on the highway. Hand-calculated, that worked out to 19.41 mpg on the first fill-up (daylight hours and averaging about 75 mph), and 21.78 mpg on the second (reduced speeds on the highway in the dark). Our city fuel economy, reported as 15 mpg by the trip computer, wasn’t as inspiring.
The MDX is offered in five trim levels starting with the base model and moving up through the Technology, Technology and Entertainment, Advance and Advance and Entertainment groupings. The Technology package adds premium leather trim, navigation, and a 410-watt audio system, while the Advance package adds to that a collision-detecting system that pre-charges the brakes, adaptive cruise control, blind spot information and an active damper system for the suspension. The Entertainment package, which is offered with either the Technology or Advance groups, includes a rear seat monitor, DVD player, wireless headphones and heated rear seats.
