Designers have applied the Acura brand's distinctive new grille treatment to the MDX, and the entire package is set off with xenon lights, metallic trim and fog-lamps. The rear is updated with new trim and redesigned taillamps, too. Overall, the package is instantly MDX from any angle-- though more modern and fresh overall.
Improvements inside include a new steering wheel, a new instrument cluster and a new 8-inch navigation screen with integrated backup camera display. Safety technology now includes new radar-powered features like a Blind Spot Information System and a Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). The latter works to warn the driver of potentially-impending collision situations, and can even self-apply the brakes at the last moment before impact to reduce damage and injuries.
Under the skin, the MDX benefits from a new power steering system, stiffer suspension mounting points and various tweaks to enhanced body rigidity. Acura engineers say these upgrades all aim t deliver a more comfortable, quiet and refined ride.
A new six-speed automatic is also on board, helping reduce fuel consumption and maximize performance. All MDX models get a 300-horsepower V6 engine and Acura's patented Super Handling All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system.
"The Acura MDX has been a leader in the Intermediate Luxury SUV segment, with sales up this year, and the new 2010 MDX is designed to strengthen its place in this segment," said Jerry Chenkin, executive VP of Honda Canada. "The enhanced appearance and new powertrain, along with new customer-relevant technologies, make MDX a leading-edge vehicle choice for Canadians."
