Acura SUVs 2010

Since its debut in 1986 as the first luxury Japanese manufacturer, Acura has gained many awards. In terms of innovation and quality alone, Acura has become one of the auto industry leading brands. In recent years Acura has moved into the sports utility vehicle (SUV) market with its highly successful MDX and RDX models (although Acura refers to the RDX model as an "urban adventure vehicle"). These models feature the revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive® (SH-AWD®) system which according to Acura is North America's first real-time traffic feature. The MDX is a luxury 7 seater SUV with a high performance 3.7 litre V6 engine, whereas the RDX is a smaller more driver focussed vehicle with a 2.3 litre turbocharged engine. Acura offers a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty as standard along with the acclaimed Total Luxury Care® (TLC®) service featuring 24 hour nationwide breakdown and recovery, Acura Concierge Service and other exclusive benefits for Acura owners. Although Acura are renowned for their luxury specification with features such as navigation systems with real time traffic information, rearview cameras and voice recognition systems, they also design their SUV's with safety in mind. Both Acura SUV models have been awarded maximum 5 star ratings in the NHTSA frontal and side impact crash tests.
