Acura MDX - Caption - a Premium Midsize SUV with High Tech galore

From a distance, the MDX is stylish but it doesn’t call attention to itself. That’s just the way that Honda & Acura vehicles turn out. The theory goes like this…Honda & Acura buyers are very loyal and tend to buy the vehicles because of their quality and value, and styling is a secondary consideration.

When you get close to the MDX however, when you climb inside and actually go for a drive in one, its true character comes though. In reality, its one of the most satisfying and enjoyable premium midsize SUV’s you’ll find. Call it understated elegance.

The approach Acura took was to make the MDX roomy, comfortable, with many technology options and superb handling. The MDX comes standard with 7 passenger seating, a large cargo area and a comfortable interior. Even the base model comes equipped with leather sports seats, an 8 speaker premium audio system, a rear view camera, a power liftgate, a V6 engine, 6 speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive.

Add the Technology Package and you get Acura’s industry-leading navigation system, an upgraded surround sound system, voice command, upgraded leather interior and a climate control system linked to GPS. This gizmo knows were you are geographically and automatically adjust the climate control on the side of the car that is getting more sunlight to avoid unanticipated passenger over-warming.

The optional Entertainment Package gives you a rear DVD entertainment system, heated rear seats and a 115 volt electrical plug-in socket.

The Advance Package adds selectable sports suspension, cooled seats and CMBS. The CMBS technology includes radar cruise control that will manage the distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. It will also intervene in the driver’s space and will aggressively apply brakes if it senses a collision is imminent.

Acura has intelligently included all of the basic powertrain and safety systems on all its models. The drive train on the MDX is Honda’s fine 300 horsepower 3.7 liter V6 with a 6 speed automatic transmission and SH-AWD. This Super Handling All Wheel Drive system provides very surefooted driving in all weather condition. It also transforms this 4,600 SUV into a track star. The cornering and handling capability of the MDX are amazing, especially for a vehicle of this size.

The seating position, ride quality and engine & transmission combination make the MDX one of the most comfortable and satisfying vehicles to drive that you’ll find anywhere. The Acura engineers have fine-tuned the driving experience in a remarkable way. The MDX is one of the best examples of an all-purpose, all-weather, happily drive it all-day vehicle that you’ll find.
