Performance 2010 Acura ZDX



The ZDX is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 that produces 300 H.P. and 270 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed semiautomatic with manual agitate control is the only available transmission. Fuel frugalness is a factory-estimated 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway. The ZDX's maximum towing capacity is 1,500 pounds.

In real-world driving, the ZDX's V6 provides adequate acceleration, but it's nothing special. The terminal MDX we tested accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, and the ZDX isn't significantly quicker. The newborn six-speed semiautomatic is smooth and quick on upshifts, but it can be sluggish when downshifts are called for.

On winding roads, the ZDX handles relatively substantially thanks to its standard \"Super Handling\" AWD grouping (SH-AWD), which is institute in many Acura products. This grouping apportions varying amounts of noesis to individualist wheels to maximize traction through turns and in inclement weather. One result is reduced understeer in spirited driving, as the grouping automatically sends more force to the outside wheels while cornering. However, there's no hiding 4,400 pounds of accumulation and a broad center of gravity, even if the ZDX does mate a bit lower than the MDX. It's still a crossover SUV, albeit an athletic one, and it drives the part.
