Acura MDX: Three-Row Luxury SUV

The MDX is Acura’s largest and most luxurious SUV that comfortably seats up to seven people (Hello carpools!). Loaded with thoughtful features and ready for a challenge (It can tow up to 5,000 pounds!), it is by far the best-selling three-row luxury SUV of all time for good reason.

Like its RDX cousin, the MDX is available with front-wheel drive as well as Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ for superior control when you’re behind the wheel. Both powertrains include a V-6 engine that generates significant passing power. Is fuel efficiency a priority? A high-tech powertrain is also available in the Sporty Hybrid model. Both the standard MDX and hybrid versions offer a fun-to-drive option, however, the Sporty Hybrid has a slight edge on refinement and speed.

MDX HIGHLIGHTS

  • Starts at $44,400
  • 3.5L V6 Engine/ 3.0L V-6 + Hybrid System (Sports Hybrid)
  • 290 Horsepower

Available in both front-wheel drive and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™, the RDX offers superior control. Both powertrains include a turbocharged engine that delivers an impressive 272 horsepower.
