How Does The 2010 Acura Stand Up To The BMW X6?

There really isn’t that much info yet on the specs of the 2010 Acura ZDX which was launched just last month at the New York International Auto Show.

I realize that there’re a lot of unknowns but with what we do know and gathered from trustworthy sources, leaves room for us to make a couple of smart, somewhat accurate guesses or assumptions.

Dimensions wise, not much separates the two except in height.

Now Kobe or a lot of other people won’t have a problem getting in the X6 but then again a lot of other people would appreciate the lower stance of the ZDX.

What we’ve heard but have not yet gotten absolute confirmation is that the Acura ZDX will be getting the same 3.7 liter, V6 VTEC engine that now powers the MDX.

If this is the case then it would be almost safe to assume that we can look forward to at least 300hp at 6000 rpm or thereabouts.

The ZDX will be sporting a 6 speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift.

On the outside both the ZDX and the X6 sport practically the same flowing roofline that identifies the vehicle as a Sports Activity Coupe.

But this is where the similarity ends.

The ZDX has a panoramic glass roof where “Glass extends in one graceful curve from the base of the windshield to the rear of the bumper, so both front and rear passengers enjoy a view of the sky and beyond.” Let’s just hope you still enjoy the view during the summer months.
