Acura MDX (YD2). 2007–13 (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/A, 3664 cm³ (V6 OHC). Far better thought-out second-generation MDX, closing the gap on its German luxury rivals. Very well equipped with powerful V6 and excellent Nürburgring-tuned handling. Longer wheelbase. Production announced September 2006 for the 2007 model year. Larger J37A engine, in its first application, taking power to 300 hp and torque to 275 lb ft. Stricter quality control than predecessor. Mid-term refresh for 2010, with revised engine, six-speed automatic (a first for Acura), chassis and equipment upgrades, and changes to the front and rear. A strong seller for Acura.
