Acura MDX Pictures

The new Acura MDX Equipped with a 3.5 liter 240 bhp V6 engine that has variable value timing, the MDX is quick on its feet. Thanks to a generous 245 lb.ft of torque available between 3000 to 5000 rpm, highway passing maneuvers are accomplished with confidence. At the drag strip, the MDX hits 60 mph in less than 9 seconds. Stopping power is provided by vented 11.8 in. front and solid 12.3 in. rear disc brakes, aided by ABS. The 5 speed automatic transmission working with a variable torque management 4 wheel drive (VTM-4) system distributes power approximately to all four wheels as needed. The Acura MDX mostly functions as a front wheel drive vehicle on dry pavement. However, when the electronic control unit senses wheel slippage, torque is sent to the rear wheels via a pair of electromagnetic clutches. For getting out ditches and snowbanks, a lock button can be depressed to permanently engage the rear wheels. The MDX’s chassis is a unit body design similar to those in passenger cars. Ring shaped structural members integrated into each pillar wrap around the circumference of the vehicle, and steel stiffeners positioned inside the doors are elements designed to protect the passengers from side impact collisions. All whether 235/65 R-17 tries reside at the four corners, and the suspension features MacPherson struts in front and a multitask arrangement in back. Subframes help isolate the cabin from road harshness and vibrations. Power assisted rack and pinion steering enhances the sedan like driving character. On the road, the MDX rides comfortably, soaking up road imperfections easily.

The 2009 Acura MDX is a seven-passenger, three-row luxury crossover vehicle. The design of the MDX emphasizes style, passenger and cargo utility, and on-the-road comfort and handling, rather than off-roading ability. However, with Acura’s inclusion of standard all-wheel drive, the MDX can easily handle muddy trails and shallow streams. The MDX crossover SUV was redesigned for 2007 and carries into 2009 with few changes. Acura’s Super Handling all-wheel-drive (SH-AWD) system is standard across the 2009 MDX model line; the full-time all-wheel-drive configuration distributes the optimum amount of torque not only between the front and rear axles, but also between the left and right rear wheels, to help maintain better stability and traction when cornering. A 300-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 engine brings strong acceleration to the MDX and impressive passing power, thanks to the responsive yet smooth five-speed automatic transmission. The 2009 Acura MDX has impressive towing ability for such a vehicle, with a maximum rating of 5,000 pounds. If you’ve been pulled out of a sport sedan because of a growing family, the 2009 Acura MDX is surprisingly entertaining to drive. Along with the responsive powertrain, the suspension keeps the body from leaning too much in corners, even though the ride is quite supple, and the MDX can be hustled along a curvy road like a smaller, lighter vehicle. Each corner is independently suspended, and especially good steering—with feedback from the road—makes the MDX a lot more fun to drive than other utes.
