2008 Acura MDX: The Ultimate in Vehicle Luxury
The Acura MDX is being touted as the best of its luxury SUV class and rightly so. Coming from Honda, a manufacturer who has since been known to produce high – quality cars, the 2008 Acura MDX is definitely one vehicle that is guaranteed to perform well.
In the tradition of making premium vehicles, Acura and Honda have launched the MDX, an SUV that is said to “set new standards for luxury, style and technology-enhanced performance and control”. According to Michael Gallietta of Bridgewater Acura, the MDX is “more for a larger family or people who need the extra cargo room. It is the best car Acura ever built. It hugs the road and offers the latest safety technology”. The vehicle is not only equipped with the best inline vehicle technology but it also has ample space for transporting families or cargo.
The technology that was put into the Acura MDX is, according to John Gomes of the Open Road Acura in East Brunswick, “Technology at its best. You get into it and it’s like being in the cockpit of a jet. It caresses you with comfort and all the controls are conveniently placed. The accessories are state-of-the-art.”
The 2008 Acura MDX boasts of a 3.7- liter VTEC V-6 engine that is capable of up to 300 horsepower at 6000 rpm with 275 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. It is also equipped with Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system. This system allows the Acura MDX to handle all sorts of driving conditions. The makers of Acura are dedicated to the “application of advanced, customer-relevant technologies” and have sought to make the MDX into a very user friendly vehicle. The seven passenger MDX is equipped with an Active Damper System which absorbs most of the pressure that may come from uneven surfaces on the road. It also comes with an “auto dimming Day/Night rear view mirror, a new exterior paint color choice, a Taupe interior option, navigation and real-time traffic systems”. To top all those remarkable features off, the Acura MDX is also environmentally friendly. The vehicle complies with the U.S. EPA’s Tier 2-Bin 5 (and CARB ULEV-2) emissions regulation.
According to Dick Colliver, executive vice president for sales, Acura, “The MDX is the ultimate in performance, technology and style in the luxury SUV class. The reaction of our customers to this new MDX has been truly remarkable, as they discover the depth and breadth of the technology as well as the lengths to which our designers and engineers have gone to re-invent every aspect of its performance and luxury appeal.”
