2. Acura ZDX 2010 interior

We personally think that there are more things to say about the Acura ZDX 2010 interior rather than its exterior. Therefore, in this part, we would like to mainly focus on the car’s interior.

Open the door, the Acura offers a luxurious cabin with a standard all-wheel drive. Like other Acura models, it comes equipped with a lengthy list of standard features including a 7-speaker sound system with Bluetooth and speed-sensitive volume control, leather upholstery and trim, a ten-way power-adjustable heated driver’s seat and a remote-controlled power liftgate. Besides, options for a new Acura ZDX 2010 consist of navigation, push-button ignition, higher-level leather and upgraded stereo. The interior shows a good mix of textures and materials. Some parts may look a bit strange while others are likely entry-level offerings of Honda.

Speaking of the dashboard, it includes 3 different types of materials that all seem to be leather. Meanwhile, the carpet is evaluated to be impressive. The cargo space is roomy, especially when folding the rear seating row. This allows you to bring many items along with your journeys.

The ZDX 2010 retains the wheelbase’s width of its predecessor – the MDX, the length gets a slight bump but the roof is lowered over 5 inches, making the rear headroom 3 inches narrower.

To give a verdict, the Acura ZDX 2010 interior provides less cargo space than most of other models in the SUV segment.

3. Acura ZDX 2010 model: Engine and performance

Under the hood, the Acura ZDX 2010 model is powered by a 3.7L SOHC 24-valve V-6 engine which is capable of cranking out 300 hp and works in a conjunction with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine propels the car from 0-60 in less than 6.8 seconds. In average, it drinks about 19 mpg, which might be a quite low level for some.

When it comes to the ZDX’s performance, it is said to be a confident controller. Receiving some improvements in steering sense from the manufacturer, it is not afraid of curves. It’s a stable and courageous handler.

In overall, the vibration and sensations of sound are perhaps the best part of the Acura ZDX 2010 driving experience.
