Refreshed for the 2017 model year, the third-generation MDX enters 2019 with handling and visual enhancements. The three-row crossover now costs $44,300 excluding the $995 destination charge, boasting with 23 miles per gallon on the combined cycle (20 city and 27 highway for the front-wheel-drive configuration).
The Sport Hybrid will take efficiency to a different level, but Acura isn’t ready to publish the information on the range-topping model right now. To this effect, the MDX SH-AWD with the Advance and Entertainment packages is the range-topping model, retailing at $60,050 in the United States. Too much, too little, you decide.
As the more luxurious brother of the Honda Pilot, the Acura MDX enjoys the title of “best-selling three-row luxury SUV of all-time” according to its maker. While that doesn’t say much in regard to how good or bad the MDX is, don’t forget that Acura is the type of automaker that likes to improve the breed as much as possible.
Take the nine-speed automatic transmission as a prime example. Enhanced for “smoother, more fluid acceleration feel,” the transmission is complemented by an available active damper system and wider wheel and tire options. The A-Spec appearance package, meanwhile, brings sportiness to the family-oriented character of the MDX.
New colors for the exterior palette include Canyon Bronze Metallic, Gunmetal Metallic, Majestic Black Pearl, and performance Red Pearl. Inside the MDX, you’ll find Desert Olive Ash wood trim on the dashboard. Contrasting stitching on the seats and doors panels plus four-way power lumbar adjustment for the driver and passenger are also included.
As with the previous model year, the 2019 Acura MDX is available with a naturally aspirated V6 that displaces 3.5 liters. The Sport Hybrid, meanwhile, levels up to a 3.0-liter V6 that develops 321 horsepower and 289 pound-feet in combination with the hybrid part of the powertrain.
Look forward to the MDX Sport Hybrid arriving at dealers nationwide in August 2018.
