Situations requiring immediate acceleration like merging are made effortless by the i-VTEC® V-6 producing 290 horsepower. At highway cruising speed when efficiency is more important the Variable Cylinder Management system allows the engine to run on only three cylinders greatly enhancing fuel efficiency. From downpours to blizzards the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive monitors your speed steering input and more. Sending power to the wheels with the most traction. A reduction in weight and improved aerodynamics give the MDX with the super handling drive an EPA rated 26 miles per gallon highway.
