The Acura MDX, which stands for “Multi-Dimensional luxury,” is a three-row luxury SUV that replaced the body-on-frame SLX. Since its introduction in the fall of 2000, the MDX has redefined the luxury SUV segment, combining performance and handling with a long list of standard luxury features ultra-low emissions and a smooth, sedan-like ride.
The MDX originally came with a 3.5-liter, 24-valve, SOHC engine that produced 240 horsepower and 245 lb-ft of torque. Standard features included an electronically controlled, 5-speed automatic transmission and an innovative VTM-4 four-wheel-drive system that proactively apportioned torque from the front to the rear wheels. The MDX met California’s stringent Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV) standards and received EPA fuel economy ratings of 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway.*
In addition, MDX had a lot of industry firsts that included:
The second-generation 2007 MDX was released on October 17, 2006, taking its predecessor’s best qualities and radically expanded them, pushing performance and sophistication in the luxury SUV segment to new levels. Benchmarked against some of the best performance SUVs in the world and tuned on the Nürburgring racetrack in Germany, the new MDX clearly established itself as a driver’s SUV. Outfitted with Acura’s tenacious Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system and an available sport package with Active Damper System, the MDX yielded a combination of handling and comfort that is truly on the cutting edge.
An all-new, third-generation 2014 MDX went on sale June 20, 2013, offering comfort, connectivity and performance at a price that no other luxury brand could match. It was available for the first time with two-wheel drive.
Long the benchmark among luxury SUVs, the MDX moves the bar even higher. Form and function advance together to create a vehicle that excels in every dimension: its style, performance, safety systems, utility, luxury and technology challenge the best the category has to offer. Developed and refined on Germany’s famously difficult Nürburgring racing circuit, the MDX applies innovation to performance with its direct-injection V-6 engine that delivers thrilling acceleration and received excellent EPA fuel economy ratings.1
As ever, the MDX delivers an uncompromising experience that can be enjoyed by up to seven passengers. The richly appointed cabin offers a hushed and luxurious ambience, along with a level of technological sophistication that has been arranged to keep its occupants engaged and connected.
And the MDX sets the pace in safety engineering, starting with the next-generation ACE™ body structure designed to provide high-level safety in frontal crashes and helps achieve the highest crash-test safety ratings. Standard on every MDX you’ll find a host of AcuraWatch Plus™ technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow2, Forward Collision Warning (FCW)3, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)4 Lane Departure Warning (LDW)5 and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).6
There are four separate storage areas within reach of the driver and passengers with plenty of space for their travel accouterments including a unique center console that features a combination of large and small compartments.
Leading the way in audio and information technology has its advantages, and its challenges. As the number of features continued to increase, Acura designers foresaw a very crowded center panel. So they designed an intuitive touch screen called On Demand Multi-Use Display™ (ODMD™) to house all the controls you need at any given time. As a result, what could have been more than 41 buttons has been simplified to nine.
Luxury lives within each meticulous detail inside the MDX. Both front seats feature pronounced side bolsters that provide lateral support for cornering and plenty of comfort for long drives.
Keep boredom at bay on long trips for second- and third-row passengers with an entertainment system that’s available on models with either the Technology or Advance Package.
Conquer the curves and weather with available torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™. Power is automatically distributed to the wheels that need it – like to the rear outside wheel while cornering – giving seamless fore, aft and side-to-side power transitions with surgical precision. The result is a continuously active system that helps handle the terrain in ways no other front, rear or conventional all-wheel-drive system can.
Aggressive. Distinctive. Captivating. The redesigned exterior of the MDX exposes the fact that it’s a track-honed performance vehicle. Commanding front styling announces the new face of Acura — the bold Diamond Pentagon grille. With the strong lines of a contoured hood, restyled Jewel Eye® headlights and chrome-trimmed twin exhaust pipes, the MDX embodies Precision Crafted Performance.
The Jewel Eye® LED headlights carve out their own space in the MDX profile. Brighter, whiter and longer-lasting than traditional headlights, casting a precisely focused beam far into the future.
As aggressive as they are appealing, the optional 20-inch alloy wheels of the MDX were designed to leave a lasting impression from the very first glance.
We’ve implemented the AcuraWatch suite of safety technology, adaptive Cruise Control and Road departure Mitigation – Any MDX you choose is fully loaded with the most advanced Acura Safety and driver assistive features.
On models with the Technology Package, the MDX engine can be started remotely so that the engine is warmed up and the cabin is either heated or cooled appropriately by the time you arrive.
Enhance your sense of direction with the Acura Navigation System10. The centerpiece of the Technology Package, it uses a hard drive for quick data access and displays on a full VGA 8-inch screen. The system is fast, easy to read and incredibly convenient.
The HD Digital Traffic® feature helps you steer clear of gridlock by providing continuously updated traffic information in major metropolitan areas across the 48 contiguous United States.
The MDX can be equipped with a blind spot information (BSI) system that assists you when making lane changes.
