"The MDX has long been considered a benchmark in its class," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales, in a release. "The 2010 MDX raises the bar yet again with its fresh looks, an all-new 6-speed transmission and lots of new customer-relevant technology."

The 7-passenger MDX received significant styling upgrades for 2010, including new front and rear bodywork, a new front grille, numerous trim enhancements, revised taillights and polished stainless-steel exhaust finishers.

The vehicle reportedly achieves an EPA estimated city/highway fuel mileage of 16/21 mpg. Standard on every MDX is Acura's exclusive Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD).

The 2010 MDX will be available in five trim packages including: the well-equipped MDX; MDX with Technology Package; MDX with Technology and Entertainment Packages; MDX with Advance Package; and MDX with Advance and Entertainment Packages.

Like all 2010 Acura models, the MDX is covered by a comprehensive 4-year/50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and a 6-year/70,000 powertrain limited warranty.
