The 2024 Acura MDX is a powerful, sleek, athletic, three-row SUV packed with premium appointments. This premium performance SUV is spacious, with a roomy interior, comfortable seating, and plenty of cargo space left over. Read on to learn more about the MDX and why it needs to be on your list if you are hunting for your next family SUV.
The 2024 Acura MDX: SUV Meets Luxury
This SUV is available in both front-wheel drive and SH-AWD, depending on the model you choose. The base model hits the streets with a powerful 3.5L 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC engine. This powertrain delivers a massive 290 horsepower and 267 pounds per foot of maximum torque for snappy throttle responses and acceleration you can feel.
Transmission
The direct injection engine on this SUV is matched to a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift paddle shifters. The paddle shifters on the MDX put full manual control of the vehicle right at your fingertips, ensuring you get an engaging drive. Additionally, driving enthusiasts will love that you can switch between the available drive modes to tailor the performance of the vehicle.
Comfort mode delivers silky smooth gear changes while maintaining the sporty feel of the SUV. Sport mode delivers sharper handling, an aggressive engine note, and quicker downshifts for an exhilarating drive. You can switch to manual at any time by tapping either of your paddle shifters. This ensures you have easy access to quick gear changes at all times.
Grade Logic Control
The Grade Logic Control system on this SUV sends signals to the transmission, telling it when to hold gears at higher RPMs. One instance where the Grade Logic Control system will instruct your transmission to hold RPMs is when you are heading up a steep grade. Holding the RPMs higher will help to avoid disruptions to your chassis or power delivery, ensuring a smooth drive.
In addition to the Grade Logic Control system, the MDX boasts Shift Hold Control. The Shift Hold Control system delays an up-shift when accelerating through curves for improved handling and stability.
Hill Start Assist
Struggling to start while parked on an uphill grade is a thing of the past. The Hill Start Assist system on this three-row SUV holds brake pressure for a second or two, allowing you the time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator. This ensures that you don’t roll backward while trying to get started up the incline.
