The sculpted design of the body work is enhanced by the longer hood, strong shoulders, and lower chrome trim.
Acura's signature diamond pentagon grill is surrounded with chrome accents that complement these sporty 20 inch Aluminium alloy wheels.
Under the hood we find a direct injected, 3.5 litre i-vtec V6 engine, capable of producing 290 Horsepower and 267 foot pounds of torque that is both powerful and efficient.
The MDX features a new 10-speed automatic transmission and together with Acura’s 4th generation Super Handling All Wheel Drive,
and an agile torque vectoring system, it makes for a comfortable and exhilarating driving experience.
Wider wheels and tires create dynamic performance and a quiet, comfortable ride that is unfazed in any environment.
Your wheels are engineered to stay planted firmly on the road, thanks to the double wishbone front suspension.
The MDX also features enhanced braking capability, with larger and thicker front brake rotors, and a new electric brake booster to better withstand repeated hard stops without reduced performance.

Plus with Acura's Walk Away Auto Lock system you can automatically lock your doors and tailgate when you walk away from your vehicle, adding an element of convenience and peace of mind.
The sophisticated style continues to the rear of this MDX with powerful design elements like these sleek LED tail lights, shark fin antenna, roofline spoiler and bold chrome exhaust finishers.

The tailgate also features programmable height adjustment for convenience and so you don't accidentally hit anything.
Boasting a generous amount of cargo space, the MDX features an adjustable cargo floor for maximum space, and this reversible cargo lid, that can be carpet or plastic, perfect for wet or dirty items.
Fold down the second and third row seats for even more room.
The cargo area is also illuminated with these bright LED lights that make loading and unloading at night much easier.
Also with Walk Away Auto Lock enabled the tailgate can be set to automatically close when you walk away.
Once inside this quiet cockpit, this MDX gives you the ultimate sense of refined comfort with superb fit and finish, featuring leather-trimmed seating surfaces with contrast stitching, seat piping and finished in genuine wood trim.
