The 2010 Acura ZDX is a stunning and luxurious mid-sized crossover. As the Acura has a rather trendy look it appeals more to the younger generation. It is not really built as a family car, but more as a sport-utility vehicle. The ZDX has the same engine as the Acura MDX; they both have a 3.7-liter V-6, with 300 horsepower. It has a six-speed manual transmission and is praised for the paddle shifters, which are said to be remarkable.

There are mixed reviews when it comes to judging the power of the ZDX. Some say it has just the right amount of power, while others think it could have a little more spark as far as power goes. It is estimated that the 2010 Acura ZDX will get 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, which is about average for an SUV. All-wheel drive is standard and is an excellent addition to the sporty style of the vehicle. There is the option of the Integrated Dynamic System that is available with the Advance Package. This gives the ZDX better steering abilities and a stiffer suspension.

As far as exterior looks go it would be difficult to find an SUV of this type that looks better than the Acura. An especially well-designed feature is the front-to-rear panoramic glass roof, which is over 12 feet in length and has an integrated power moonroof. The sharp lines make this car one of the sleekest and best designed vehicles on the market for 2010. It is a car that most definitely turns heads out on the town.

The rear seats are relatively small and there isn't much cargo space either. You would expect more from what is supposed to be a mid-sized car. However, the interior is nice with a wealth of modern technology for the average driver. The interior consists of a lot of natural grained leather and the dash is neatly curved and soft. On the inside and out this car has the look of quality and style that any driver would be proud of. The Acura ZDX is on the expensive side, with a price tag of $46.176 for the basic model. It is a great car though and well worth the money if you want a mixture of trend and reliability.
