Long Term Update 7: 2010 Acura ZDX

The 2011 Acura ZDX ranks 10 out of 18 Luxury Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of 21 published reviews and test drives of the Acura-ZDX, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. Acura introduced the ZDX in 2010 as a "four-door sports coupe," Hoping to highlight the SUV's car-like handling and a compact interior. In its second year, the ZDX wins praise from reviewers on most fronts.

Associate Web Editor Kong concluded after extensive scientific investigation That the optimum height for rear seat passengers is anything under 5-feet. Drivetrain opinions are equally split ranging from perfectly adequate to sadly underpowered. Perhaps the well sorted suspension and steering do too great a job
Acura ZDX giving the feel of a small car and its considerable girth exceed expectations. The size is a big downside for empty-nesters urbanite this car is intended for. The price you pay for style.
 


The 2010 Acura ZDX is a new style-driven midsize luxury crossover. The 2010 Acura ZDX begins life as the MDX crossover, a vehicle we've long admired for Bringing capable handling and three-row crossover functionality under one roof. The ZDX's standard six-speed automatic transmission Further distinguishes it from other Acura models. Less impressive ZDX distinctions include just 56 cubic feet of cargo space (about the same as a Honda Fit), a meager 1.500-pound towing rating (the MDX can tow 5.000 pounds) and a cramped, coupelike backseat. There's a healthy 300 horsepower on tap, but the ZDX has 4.400 pounds to haul around.
