The MDX continues to offer one of the best combinations of a high-tech cabin and smooth handling in its class. For 2010, it receives much-needed updates, including a new six-speed transmission.
The 2010 Acura MDX comes with a retuned 300-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine that test drivers find especially powerful. This is a lot of power considering that it’s the standard engine. For example, the Cadillac SRX costs considerably less than the MDX but provides only a 265-horspower 3.0-liter V6.
The EPA rates the 2010 MDX at 16/21 mpg city/highway. This rating is in the top half of the class, though there are a few less expensive models that have higher fuel economy. One of these is the SRX, which is rated at 18/25 city/highway and costs about $9,000 less than the MDX. However, the SRX’s engine isn’t as powerful as the MDX’s.
