2009 Acura MDX

2009 Acura MDX

The 2009 Acura MDX should see no major changes. 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 and 5-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows. Standard luxury and convenience features include a sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a wireless cell phone link. Options come in three packages. The Technology Package has a rearview camera and a voice-activated navigation system that can display real-time traffic conditions. A Sport Package includes those features plus driver-adjustable suspension. The Entertainment Package contains DVD entertainment, heated 2nd-row seats, and power liftgate. Drive impressions based on 2008 report. A diesel V6 may become available in the next few years. Parent Honda plans to introduce 4-cylinder and V6 "clean diesels" to the U.S. market in the near future. Honda prides itself on being the American market's fuel-economy leader, and a diesel MDX would help maintain its lead over other automakers. It would also be more affordable than gas/electric hybrid power, which Honda feels works best in cars, not SUVs.
