Sport-Focused Hybrid Cars

The Honda Acura MDX Features a Top-Notch Hybrid Powertrain

— March 30, 2016 — Autos
The brand new Honda Acura MDX is a well-designed luxury vehicle that stands out from the crowd due to its sport-centric hybrid powertrain as well as its distinctive appearance.

This vehicle comes powered by a 325-horsepower engine that makes use of a trio of electric motors -- one at the front and two at the rear. This hybrid setup is expected to enable this vehicle to cruise along at powerful speeds, while torque vectoring and all-wheel drive enable the driver to exercise maximum control over the car at all times. As far as appearances are concerned, the new Honda Acura MDX is most noteworthy for its eye-catching new grille, something that eagle-eyed auto enthusiasts will know was first seen in the Honda Precision Concept Acura.

The Honda Acura MDX is truly a complete vehicular offering that seamlessly blends distinctive appearance and noticeably boosted performance.
