2010 Acura ZDX

Once upon a time SUVs were boxy trucks with the aerodynamics of a brick. That was so 20^th century. The current trend with car-based, crossover utility vehicles is to make them a sleek and sporty looking as possible. Acura takes on the challenge with the 2010 ZDX five-door, which has a sloping coupe-like roofline and is based on the MDX. Learn more about the ZDX at Clinton Acura.

In addition to the four-wheel independent suspension system, the 2010 ZDX is available with Acura’s Integrated Dynamics System, which adjusts suspension stiffness in as little as five milliseconds. The driver can adjust the suspension and steering through the Sport and Comfort settings. IDS controls special shock absorbers that are filled with a fluid that thickens significantly in the presence of a magnetic field. The stronger the field, the stiffer the setting.

Braking on the 2010 ZDX is handled by 13-inch discs with dual-piston calipers up front and 13.2-inch discs and single-piston calipers in back. The system includes anti-lock and electronic brake distribution, which uses the ABS sensors to determine how much force is needed at each wheel for increased performance and stability.

Acura’s stability control system detects understeer or oversteer and attempts to correct the issue through the all-wheel-drive system by redirecting power among the wheels. It can also interact with the Integrated Dynamic System to adjust the suspension to a setting that increases the likelihood of the vehicle maintaining traction. All of this happens so quickly the issue might be corrected before the driver knows it’s happening.
