Vehicle Highlights
The 2010 Acura MDX gets freshened styling, additional standard features, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with standard steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. This premium midsize SUV seats up to seven and has all-wheel drive. The sole powertrain is a 300-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine paired to a new 6-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity is 5000 lb. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows. Newly standard is Hill Start Assist, a mirror with rearview camera display, and a power tailgate. Other standard features include a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a wireless cell-phone link. Options are available in three packages, all priced as separate models. The Technology Package contains a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic and weather information, a multi-view rear camera that shows you 180 degrees behind the car or an above view of the tow hitch, a USB port, a hard disc drive for storing digital music files, and Song By Voice, a voice-activated music playback function. The Advance Package replaces the Sport Package and includes those features plus a driver-adjustable suspension, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot information system, ventilated seats, and 19-inch wheels. The Entertainment Package, available only in conjunction with the Technology or Advance packages, features DVD entertainment with a motorized 9-inch screen and heated 2nd-row seats.
