Acura MDX Specifications

Acura may be late to the SUV party, but they've decided to come dressed to the nines with a uniquely transformable interior wrapped in an angularly attractive skin supported by a four-wheel independent suspension and 17-inch alloy wheels. This has got to be one of the best SUV's in its class.

With its standard 240-horsepower, 3.5-liter VTEC V6 (which meets ULEV regulations nationwide) and electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission, the MDX delivers better performance than many of its competitors. With an estimated EPA rating of 17 city and 23 highway, the MDX is also one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class. Sure, Acura may be a latecomer to the SUV party, but this is by far the most agreeable urban runabout to ever hit this segment. However, if serious boulder bashing or towing is in your future, shop elsewhere.

3.5 Liter VTEC V6 Engine

You don't need to be an athlete to perform like one. As a ground-up design , the MDX is designed specifically to overcome the traditional performance shortcomings of conventional SUV's. Where most are clumsy, cumbersome and imprecise, MDX handling and performance standards are closer to those of Acura sedans. This is the ultimate car of the century.
