This Acura ZDX prototype from the 2009 New York Auto Show and even if you don’t, it will now be there on the roads (as the 2010 Acura ZDX) pretty soon and there is no chance that you would forget once you get a nice glimpse. The X-factor is the rarity of exterior design that uses an elevated position-unusual for a four door coupe. With that position comes a rear tapering roof with bold fender flares, a panoramic roof and hidden rear door handles. The 19-inch 7-spoke alloys which feature in this coupe as standard are also the largest in the Acura Range.

Powering the grind is the 3.7-litre naturally aspirated V6 engine capable of generating 300hp with 366 Nm torque. The powertrain is supported by a 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted paddles. What is pleasing is that the Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive (SH-AWD) system is standard with all ZDX models. The ZDX will come in three variants as the standard, technology package and ultra premium range. Each of these will have a hand-stitched leather dash, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB audio interface, an iPod connection and a CD player. With the higher levels, features like Sat-Nav, multi-view rear camera and adaptive cruise control will be offered.
