If you live in Colorado, have a preference for SUVs, and your tastes run toward the Acura brand, chances are you’ve at least considered owning an Acura MDX. Seven-passenger seating, advanced safety features, and the ability to get to your destination in year-round weather conditions represent just some of the appeal of the Acura MDX. The 2009 Acura MDX is now available and seasonally increased interest is present in these weeks and months prior to the first Colorado snow.
To accommodate Colorado dynamic weather conditions the 2009 Acura MDX has plenty of power. According to published information from Acura:
Acura’s largest engine is so powerful, it rivals many V-8s. This 3.7-liter VTEC V-6 dishes up 300 horsepower and 275 lbs.-ft. of torque, while operating with a smoother, more responsive feel, thanks to significant weight reduction measures.
- Magnesium cylinder head covers that use hardened aluminum cylinder sleeves help improve vehicle balance and the power-to-weight ratio.
- A forged crankshaft results in lower weight and increased strength.
- A high-flow exhaust system increases the engine’s power efficiency.
- EPA estimated mileage is 15 / 20 / 17 mpg (city/highway/combined), which combined with a 21-gallon fuel capacity, gives the MDX the potential for attaining a 400-mile or more cruising range.
VTEC
VTEC, which stands for Variable valve Timing and Electronic lift Control, is a little like having an on-demand racing camshaft in your engine to give you high rpm power without compromising low rpm torque.
- When engine speed reaches a designated rpm, the intake valves open deeper and longer to enhance airflow and allow the MDX to continue to build horsepower at levels where other engines may run out of steam.
- When used in tandem with the 2-Stage manifold system, the driver enjoys plenty of low-end power around town and reserve power on the open road.
