Powerful and Efficient
MDX makes you feel closer to the road. The i-VTEC V6 produces 290-hp and 267 lb-ft of torque. When immediate acceleration is required, the engine responds with smooth aggression. But at highway cruising speed, the Variable Cylinder Management system allows the engine to run only three cylinders, enhancing fuel efficiency to the tune of an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 27 on the highway (FWD models).**
-
Sport Hybrid System
Forged from innovations found in the iconic NSX supercar including: the upcoming Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive System (winter release), Dual Clutch Transmission, and Active Damper System. The MDX Sport Hybrid uses a 257-hp, 3.0-liter V6. Joining the engine in powering the front wheels is a 47 horsepower electric motor located in the transmission housing. There are two additional 36 horsepower motors mounted side by side between the rear wheels.
-
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive
MDX models equipped with available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) are designed to provide adept dry-road handling as well as all-weather performance using active torque vectoring to direct power to either rear wheel as needed.
-
Integrated Dynamics System
An electronic gear selector offers intuitive, one-touch gear engagement and increases access to the center stack and center console. Pushing “Drive” delivers smooth gear changes with an emphasis on fuel efficiency. Selecting Sport+ Integrated Dynamics System (IDS) mode brings on quicker downshifts and higher RPMs before upshifts.
-
Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters
Tapping a paddle shifter in Normal, Economy, or Sport IDS driving mode engages a manual gear change. Thus, quick gear changes are always available without switching in and out of manual mode. Automatic shifting returns when the MDX reaches a steady speed. Using a paddle shifter in Sport+ puts the transmission in full manual mode, greatly enhancing control for high-performance or hilly driving.
-
Agile Handling Assist
Precision handling is enhanced on board the MDX utilizing components of the Vehicle Stability Assist system, which uses active braking—usually on an inside wheel—to maintain stability during spirited cornering. Braking on individual wheels helps to avoid oversteer or understeer.
-
Diamond Pentagon Grille
A centerpiece of the MDX is the signature Diamond Pentagon grille. MDX was the first production car in the Acura model line to introduce the bold shape with intricate detail—resulting in a clean appearance that makes a luxury statement.
-
Jewel Eye LED Headlights
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.
-
Chrome Dual Exhaust
The stunning dual exhaust pipes of the reimagined MDX embody the spirit of Precision Crafted Performance. Each is outlined in chrome for a lasting statement.
-
Tri-Zone Climate Control
To maximize comfort for all passengers, the MDX features a tri-zone automatic climate control system that allows the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers to adjust their own temperature and airflow settings. Add the Technology Package and temperatures can automatically adjust to the exact angle of the sun’s rays.
-
Power Moonroof
Bring in the day – and night – with a broad sky view. The power moonroof has the option to recess fully or open to a tilt. Smart one touch opening and closing automatically reverses if an obstruction is detected. Tinted glass helps to manage unwanted glare and heat.
-
Dual-Screen Rear Entertainment System
With the push of a button, everyone’s favorite TV shows and movies are front and center on the available ultra-wide 16.2-inch display screen. Enjoy wide-ratio movies or accommodate two separate video sources and play both images side-by-side. The entertainment experience is complete with wireless headphone connectivity.
-
On Demand Multi-Use Display
The MDX instrument panel is an experience in itself – enveloping the driver and front passenger in innovation. Shortcuts for audio and climate control are at your fingertips with the On Demand Multi-Use Display (ODMD) touchscreen display. The ODMD takes what could have been more than 41 buttons and reduced it to just nine.
-
Cutting-Edge Connectivity
Conveniently charge and link your devices to the MDX. With Siri Eyes Free, use features of your compatible iPhone without taking your hands off the wheel. Apps like Pandora and Aha deliver cloud-based podcasts, internet radio stations, and more. The integrated SMS text message and email function enables you to respond to incoming text messages while helping minimize the potential for driver distraction.
-
ELS Studio Premium Audio System
Grammy award-winning recording engineer and producer Elliot Scheiner helped design this critically acclaimed ELS Studio Premium Audio System to reproduce music as it’s heard in the recording studio. With music sources available over the air, internet or your own digital library, even the most familiar music can become an all-new listening experience.
-
Surround View Camera System
Giving drivers the ability to see even more, the Surround View Camera system delivers an unparalleled vantage point while parking the MDX. Four cameras ingeniously positioned around the SUV assist in uncovering blind spots as well as potential obstacles.
-
Collision Mitigation Braking System
To help reduce the likelihood or severity of a frontal impact, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) uses both a radar system and a high-resolution forward camera to recognize hazards such as vehicles or a pedestrian. The system can use up to 80% of full braking power to avoid or reduce impact with the detected object.
-
Adaptive Cruise Control
Setting the cruise control during your commute? Acura technology makes it possible. As with a conventional system, the available Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow system allows you to set a desired speed but also maintain a desired interval from the car ahead so you enjoy the benefits of cruise control in light traffic.
-
Lane Keeping Assist System
On straight or mildly curving roads, the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)uses a camera that can identify lane divisions and works proactively to keep the vehicle within a detected lane. If you guide the car out of a detected lane without signaling your intention to exit it, the system will slightly tug the steering wheel and guide the car to the center of the lane.
-
Road Departure Mitigation System
To help your MDX stay on the road, the Road Departure Mitigation System uses a monocular camera to recognize roadways and solid lane lines. If the system detects that the MDX has drifted over road markings it will provide alerts, steering assist, and if necessary, braking assist.
-
Front and Rear Parking Sensors
Pulling in or reversing out, you’ll experience a heightened sense of your surroundings. Our innovative parking sensors detect when the MDX is getting close to an object or surface with a series of beeps you can hear in the cabin. The beep sounds more rapidly as you get closer. Included in the Advance Package.
