OVERVIEW

The 2024 Acura MDX is a midsize, three-row SUV that carries over from the 2023 model year with no major changes. It’s a good choice for drivers who want a blend of athletic handling, a luxurious interior, and plenty of features. The MDX comes in six trim levels: MDX, Technology, A-Spec, Advance, Type S, and Type S Advance.

All trims except the base MDX and Technology come with standard all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is optional on the base and Technology trims. Every MDX is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The MDX Type S gets a more powerful turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive and an adaptive air suspension are standard on the Type S. Fuel economy for the MDX with the naturally aspirated V6 is 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive lowers those numbers slightly to 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The MDX Type S gets an estimated 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.

The MDX’s interior is roomy and comfortable for passengers in all three rows. The first two rows offer plenty of head- and legroom, but the third row is best suited for children. The cabin is filled with high-quality materials and has a sleek, modern design. The MDX comes standard with a long list of features, including a panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, heated front seats, a 12.3-inch central display with Acura’s touchpad controller, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto (both with wireless connectivity), and a nine-speaker audio system. Available features include a head-up display, navigation, a surround-sound audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a wider range of driver-assistance features. The 2024 Acura MDX is a strong contender in the midsize SUV segment. It offers a good blend of performance, luxury, and features, making it a good choice for families and drivers who want a well-rounded SUV.
