The new Sequential SportShift 6-speed automatic redefines launch/takeoff-feel, acceleration performance and fuel efficiency. Compared to the 5-speed transmissions used with other V-6 engines in the Acura line [Vigor], the ZDX automatic transmission has lower gear ratios in first through fifth gears. The lower gear ratios add more low end acceleration and pulling power. The new sixth gear ratio is taller [higher in ratio] [more overdrive] than the top gear in Acura’s 5-speed V-6 automatic transmissions. The higher final gear allows for a glass smooth slow cruising, engine, transmission and fuel savings, rpm level.
The Sequential SportShift 6-speed transmission can be operated in two fully automatic modes with the console-mounted straight-gate shifter. The D, [Drive], mode is best suited for most driving situations. The S, [Sport], mode is for more performance oriented driving, and features more aggressive shift programs to keep engine rpm’s higher for greater acceleration and response.
