It's a good day when the best gets even better. The MDX Acura engine drew accolades before the new 3.7L Acura engine was ever released. Many car buffs already loved the outstanding performance in the midsize luxury crossover. The raw power of the Acura engine in the MDX model topped competitors before the new 300 horsepower Acura engine in the 2010 MDX ever hit the open road. Now that the Acura has stepped up its own ultimate performance with the latest innovations designed in the industry, the competition falls another step behind.

The Acura engine, along with a few other key improvements, pushes the popular MDX model's power and performance to a new level of superior. Featuring the patented Super Handling All Wheel Drive well known to expert drivers, the MDX V-6 can pull a 5000 lb boat making it the top of the class for midsize crossover vehicles. In addition to the new 3.7L 300 hp Acura engine, the MDX boasts an upgrade to an automatic six-speed transmission replacing the five speed automatic version from the previous model. As any expert driver knows, ...
... the MDX can switch over to manual power whenever road conditions get nasty. No need to pull over because paddle shifters handle a temporary switch while driving down the freeway. Full manual control takes over when the driver uses the Sport setting.

Adding the new Acura engine to the upgraded transmission equals the utmost comfort luxury ride. The first of its kind shift selections make seamless gear changes and smooth transitions. No need to bother with shifting down one gear at a time either. The MDX paddle shift gives the driver a double shift. A double tap on the paddle allows a 2 in 1 shift in gears. The unique performance adds to the top dog status of Acura, MDX and the Acura engine.

Taking a closer look at the powerful Acura engine provides a glimpse at a stronger crankshaft with sturdier connecting rods as well as a block that is more rigid. A larger throttle produces a higher compression rate. All of these new tweaks help a better cooling system in the MDX luxury SUV. The improved transmission cooling system is good news, but the biggest headline coming from all these innovative changes is the total flexibility in handling. The MDX is made for seven people and houses a powerhouse Acura engine yet it handles more like a sports car than a midsize crossover. Plus, the gas mileage is a little better than the previous model. With the 2010 Acura MDX evolving from superior to ultra-superior status with the help of unique innovations in the gearbox and the biggest Acura engine in its entire fleet, it won't take long before competitors in the luxury market start jumping on the band wagon.

The Acura MDX just got even better with a new powerful Acura engine and other innovative features. The superior nature of the 2010 MDX utility vehicle serves to underscore Acura's top status in luxury vehicles.
