Technology and Luxury all in 2008 Acura MDX—The Auto Channel
A new Acura model gets the thumb-up from a car review.
The 2008 Acura MDX illustrates Acura’s expertise when it comes to creating high-technology luxury vehicles, according to a review made recently by The Auto Channel.
The MDX crossover sports utility vehicle (SUV) meets expectations as it offers comfort, convenience, and technology for engine, chassis, safety, and entertainment. The car has a seating capacity of seven.
According to The Auto Channel, the control layout for the driver is excellent. This feature is coupled with complete power seat and steering wheel adjustment, easily visible backlit LED instruments and good visibility. The car also has a navigation system that is convenient to use.
The latest MDX vehicle carries the biggest and most powerful engine ever produced by Acura—a 3.7-liter V6 that generates 300 horsepower. Its five-speed automatic transmission plus Sequential SportShift manual-mode channel power for the vehicle. The rise in power is due to the increased displacement, a greater compression ratio, and better breathing through intake and exhaust system enhancements.
The Auto Channel’s review also notes that the Acura MDX has “space-efficient transverse front-engine, all-wheel drive drivetrain layout and fully-independent suspension, with adaptive damping available with the Sport package.” The car has premium safety features, and has scored well in crash tests. This is due to Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering(tm) (ACE) body structure and design, which disperses frontal crash pressure. Even its hood is a safety feature in itself—it is designed to lessen injury in case of hitting a pedestrian.
