Power Tailgate Added to MDX Technology and Sport Packages
TORRANCE, Calif. - Mar 31
Acura today announced the inclusion
of a new convenience feature in its popular MDX Technology and Sport packages.
Formerly
available only on MDX models equipped with the Entertainment Package, the power
tailgate feature is now included in the Technology and Sport packages.
"At Acura we take the voice of the customer seriously," said Dick Colliver,
executive vice president of sales. "Based on customer feedback, the availability
of the popular power tailgate feature will be expanded to approximately 80-percent
of all MDX luxury SUVs sold."
Starting April 1, 2008, all MDX models manufactured
with either Technology or Sport packages will feature a power-activated rear
tailgate. When the MDX
is
in Park, the power rear tailgate can be operated via a driver's door-mounted
button or with the press of a button on the key fob. The MDX's power
tailgate simplifies access to rear cargo area and includes an auto-reverse
function for
enhanced safety.
To compensate for the added luxury and convenience, the price
for Technology and Sport package models will increase by a modest $550, to
$44,245 and $46,345,
respectively. Base MDX pricing remains unchanged.
Acura offers a full line
of technologically advanced performance luxury vehicles through a network
of 268 dealers within the United States. The 2008 Acura
lineup features five distinctive models including the RL luxury performance
sedan,
the TL performance luxury sedan, the TSX sports sedan, the turbocharged
RDX crossover
SUV and the award-winning MDX luxury sport utility vehicle.
