Acura MDX Engine Options
The Acura MDX is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 290 hp. It is capable of such impressive performance thanks to the following amenities:
- Direct Gas Injection – Direct Gas Injection injects fuel directly into each cylinder, which leads to a better air fuel mixture. Less fuel is also needed for engine starts.
- Variable Cylinder Management – To enhance fuel economy even further on the highway, this component changes the V6 engine from three to six cylinders. This varies based on driving conditions.
- Acura i-VTEC® system – This feature boosts performance by advancing valve timing relative to engine rpm.
Drivers also have the option of a Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® configuration with a 3.0L engine capable of producing 321 hp.
