Acura goes for a more environmental-friendly approach by equipping their vehicles with catalytic converters.

The Acura MDX has a very efficient exhaust system by utilizing two close-coupled primary catalytic converters with a secondary underfloor catalytic converter and a large diameter exhaust pipes. The catalytic converter is said to support MDX’s 3.5 liter, 24-valve, all-aluminum, VTEC(TM) V-6 engine. The high flow dual exhaust system helps to generate 253 horsepower and 250 lbs-ft of torque. Aside from the excellent fuel economy it gives the consumers, the MDX gives back to the environment via the said catalytic converter.

For one car critic, the “Acura MDX continues to be a leader in the luxury sport utility segment offering outstanding performance, upscale styling and an abundance of standard luxury features.”

“Each year, we make enhancements to keep the MDX fresh and ahead of the competition,” said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, auto sales. “We have made powertrain improvements, exterior styling changes, technology upgrades and safety enhancements over the last three years. This year we upgraded the interior to make the MDX even more refined and upscale.”

The MDX also features a more sporty style designed to reflect its high performance powertrain. The signature Acura family grille serves as the centerpiece for a smoothly tapered front fascia. The MDX also has a lean, angular headlight treatment encases projection-type headlights that enhance illumination while accenting the bold styling. The front bumper includes an integrated chin spoiler that moves air smoothly to the sides of the car for increased aerodynamics.
