The
luxury automaker Acura has just officially unveiled the all new
production 2010 ZDX crossover. The new CUV was first previewed at the
2009 New York Auto Show last April and will go on sale this winter and
will be offered in three distinct trim levels: the base ZDX, ZDX with
the Technology Package and the top of the line ZDX with the Advanced
Package. However prices have yet to be officially announced and are
expected to be reveled sometime in the near future.
Under the hood, Acura will use a 3.7 Liter V6 that will
put out 300 HP and 270 lb-ft of torque and will be mated to an all new
6 speed automatic transmission. The ZDX will be offered with a host of
creature comforts and technological innovations, like: the panoramic
glass roof with retractable sunshade, hand crafted leather interior,
HandsFreeLink Bluetooth connectivity for cellular telephones, a power
lift tailgate as well as a high powered stereo system that will play
everything from CDs and iPods to AM/FM/XM radio signals, all standard.
Press release after the jump.
Press release
The all-new provocative 2010 ZDX four-door sports coupe
will arrive at Acura dealerships with dramatic styling, outstanding
performance and the latest in advanced technology. The segment bending
ZDX features stunning coupe-like styling with the added benefit of a
commanding presence and flexible utility. Staying true to the prototype
model that debuted at the 2009 New York Auto Show in April, the
production ZDX will feature the key design highlights of a panoramic
glass roof, hidden rear door handles and bold fender flares.
Along with head-turning styling, the ZDX will boast
outstanding performance from its 3.7-liter V-6 engine mated to an
all-new 6-speed automatic transmission. The 3.7-liter SOHC V-6
all-aluminum engine will generate 300 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of
torque for immediate acceleration response, outstanding low- and
mid-range torque and superior high-rpm power. The 6-speed automatic
transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters gives the ZDX
excellent acceleration while also enhancing fuel economy. Standard on
the ZDX is Acura’s exclusive Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®)
system. The SH-AWD® system expands the ZDX’s appeal by providing
outstanding handling as well as superior all-season capability.
Standard on the ZDX are 19-inch, 7-spoke alloy wheels; the largest
standard wheel in the Acura lineup.
Inside, the ZDX exhibits the highest levels of refinement and sophistication. Every ZDX interior will feature a hand-stitched leather dash, panels and sculpted center console. The rich leather appointments give the ZDX a warm and inviting feeling while creating an intimate cockpit for the driver and passenger.

The ZDX’s flexible utility enables customers to have
great utility coupled with sleek styling. The ZDX can seat up to five
adults while maintaining a generous amount of cargo space behind the
second row of seats. The cargo area can also be expanded to accommodate
longer objects, such as golf bags, by removing side panels in the
cargo-compartment sidewalls. As an added bonus, there is an integrated
under-floor storage area.
When the ZDX goes on sale this winter, customers will have the choice of three distinct trim levels: ZDX, ZDX with Technology Package and the ultra premium, ZDX with Advance Package. Like all Acura models, the ZDX will come generously equipped from the start. The panoramic glass roof with moveable sunshades, hand-stitched leather interior, HandsFreeLink™ Bluetooth® connectivity, power tailgate, and a high powered audio system with CD player, AM/FM/XM radio and USB audio interface with iPod® integration are all standard features.
The ZDX with Technology Package adds several features including a Navigation System with Voice Recognition™, an Acura/ELS Surround® premium audio system and a new multi-view rear camera. The Advance Package boasts additional customer enhancing technologies like a blind spot information system, a Collision Mitigating Braking System™ (CMBS™), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
When the ZDX goes on-sale, it will bring a new level of prestige to the Acura lineup. The ZDX will be priced and positioned between the MDX luxury SUV and the RL luxury sedan. Pricing and additional details will be released at a later date.
