Advanced technologies that are standard items on the 2010 MDX Elite Package include an all-new Blind Spot Information System for accident avoidance by alerting the driver of adjacent vehicles when changing lanes, and an Active Damper System with "Comfort" and "Sport" modes for elevated levels of handling precision while maintaining a smooth ride.
Additional advanced technologies standard on the 2010 MDX Elite Package include Adaptive Cruise Control which uses radar installed behind the grill to detect the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead of it and automatically adjust speed in order to maintain a proper distance between vehicles in the same lane, and Acura's unique Collision Mitigation Braking System(TM) which is designed to reduce the likelihood of a collision by alerting the driver to potential collision situations and activating the brakes if the system determines a likely collision is unavoidable.
Acura's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA(R)) on the MDX Elite Package has been re-tuned for enhanced safety to deliver a 10-per cent improvement in performance during hard acceleration on slippery surfaces.
For 2010 the MDX receives a new 3.7-litre VTEC(R) V-6. The engine continues Acura's longstanding mission to provide V-8 level horsepower and torque while retaining the size and fuel efficiency of a V-6. Based on the previous MDX's powerplant, the newly refined 3.7L V-6 develops 300 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque to provide immediate throttle response, outstanding low- and mid-range torque, and excellent high-rpm power.
The 3.7L V-6 is coupled with an all-new Sequential SportShift 6-speed automatic transmission along with a new multi-clutch torque converter for enhanced acceleration and optimized fuel efficiency and quiet cruising. The transmission offers two automatic shift modes, or can be operated manually via steering wheel paddle shifters. Grade Logic Control, Shift Hold Control, Cornering G Shift Control and Hill Start Assist make the new 6-speed the most advanced automatic transmission ever offered by Acura.
The North American-designed and engineered MDX will go on sale across Canada at the beginning of December. Pricing will be announced in late October.
