The latest model Acura MDX is available with just one powerplant, a 3.9-liter V6 engine that delivers not less than 300 horsepower. All MDX versions are featuring the innovative Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) and a five-speed automatic transmission.

That system is also a child of the '90s, as the present SH-AWD system's first version was designed for a vehicle from a classic era, when Simpson meant O.J. and not Jessica: tipically, the 1998 Honda Prelude Type SH. But the system in its present state was released in the 2005 Honda Acura RL.
