If you’re in the market for a new family vehicle, look no further than the 2024 Acura MDX! This mid-sized SUV is versatile and spacious, plus it boasts elegant styling and a robust powertrain. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider adding this compelling model to your household’s stable.
What Makes the 2024 Acura MDX Ideal for Families?
Powerful, Yet Efficient Performance
At 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, the MDX’s standard 3.5L V6 is certainly more than powerful enough for any driving situation. A 10-speed automatic transmission with SportShift paddle shifters lets you tap into that performance when you need it. An EPA-rated fuel economy of 26 MPG highway is great for those busy days when you need to handle errands and shuttle the kids to their afterschool activities.
Type S and Type S Advance models offer even more power with their 3.0L turbo V6 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. The engine uses a twin-scroll turbocharger to greatly reduce turbo lag, which results in better response.
Advanced All-Wheel Drive
Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system is available on the base and Technology trims and standard on all other MDX models. The system’s name comes from the fact that it improves cornering ability by vectoring most of the engine’s torque to the rear outside wheel as you turn, helping the vehicle to rotate more sharply.
In normal conditions, SH-AWD biases power towards the rear wheels for a sportier feel, but it can instantly send extra power to any wheel to prevent it from slipping when driving over low-traction surfaces. Maximum towing capacity increases from 3,500 to 5,000 when buyers select SH-AWD.
Inviting Three-Row Cabin
As you can expect from Acura, a luxurious interior awaits you when you step into the MDX. There’s generous seating for up to seven people, making the vehicle an excellent choice for larger families. The second row features a removable center seat that makes it easier to enter the third row. Both back rows provide excellent legroom at a respective 38.5 and 29.1 inches.
Premium Amenities
Everyone will be looking forward to any road trip thanks to the MDX’s long list of standard and available creature comforts. Base models come with heated seats, plush leatherette upholstery, and tri-zone climate control. The standard 12-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support does a great job of reducing fatigue when you’re spending hours behind the wheel. Switching driving duties is a snap with the 3-position driver memory system.
The MDX has all the makings of a perfect family hauler while packing tons of style and capability. Get in touch with our team at Open Road Acura of East Brunswick in East Brunswick, NJ today, and we’ll set you up with a test drive!
