Acura’s midsize SUV model is a hair away from 50 grand. That’s a lot of moola for a midsize SUV, especially considering the current state of the economy. There’s no denying that the MDX is expensive, but the question remains: is it worth it?
Let’s break it down starting with its performance specs. The new MDX comes standard with a mighty V6 that pumps out 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. Pretty sweet, but not significantly more impressive than the popular Kia Telluride’s 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.
The midsize luxury SUV achieves 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon on the highway. That’s average in its vehicle segment by today’s standards. So thus far, $49,050 seems steep for the base model. What about its standard tech and creature comforts?
The new MDX comes with a leatherette-trimmed interior, heated front seats, and a keyless access system. It also includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, ambient cabin lighting, and adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow. Now we’re getting somewhere. Edmunds praises the midsize SUV’s comfy cabin and smooth ride quality.
