2010 Acura MDX 6-Spd AT

The Acura MDX (Honda MDX in Japan and Australia) is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Acura since the 2001 model year. The MDX is the first crossover SUV to have third-row seating. It is related to the Honda Pilot. The Alphanumeric moniker stands for ''Multi-Dimensional luXury''. It is built by Honda of Canada Manufacturing Ltd. in Alliston, Ontario, Canada. It was introduced in late 2000 as a 2001 model, replacing the slow-selling U.S.-only SLX, based on the Isuzu Trooper. In Japan, it filled a gap when the Honda Horizon (also based on the Trooper) was discontinued in 1999. In 2003, the MDX went on sale in Japan and Australia as the Honda MDX. Australian MDXs were all equipped with the 2001-2003 Touring 'Kiwi' style wheels and were all equipped with the Rear-Seat DVD entertainment system. Acura is currently creating a crossover to slot above the MDX.

The 2008 Acura MDX brought some improvements over the 2007 model- an updated AcuraLink with coverage of 76 markets (comapared to 38 in 2007), a navigation system with the ability to work in Hawaii, an enhanced automatic day/night mirror, and new interior and exterior colors. Starting with March, 2008 production the Technology Package MDX now includes the Power Tailgate. Models so equipped have a 6 in the 8th position of their VIN versus a 3.
