Overview of the 2024 Acura MDX
The 2024 Acura MDX gets sleek exterior styling, additional legroom in all three rows, and a long list of tech and interior updates. The MDX has long been one of our more highly recommended models among three-row luxury SUVs. It also offers most of the same features as rival SUVs for less money. And unlike some other SUVs in the class, the MDX’s third-row seat is roomy. There’s even an available cabin intercom system so you can keep the conversation flowing (or issue an occasional parental directive to younger passengers) and two very good sound systems to choose from.
The 2024 Acura MDX offers four trim levels: MDX, Technology, A-Spec, and Advance. The base and Technology trims come standard with front-wheel drive and offer all-wheel drive as an option. The upper trim levels come standard with AWD.
For 2024 Acura updated its small lineup of cars and SUVs and the three-row MDX happens to be one of them. This SUV takes its handsome styling cues from the compact RDX SUV and TLX sedan, and the cabin boasts luxury materials and features worthy of the Acura’s premium badge.
Each MDX features an exclusive performance-focused wheel design. Tailor your MDX further with Acura Genuine Accessory wheels. A longer body and tapering cabin create a powerful stance while increasing interior space.
The 2024 Acura MDX is a seven-seat midsize SUV offered in six trim levels (although Acura calls them packages): MDX, Technology, A-Spec, Advance, Type S, and Type S Advance. The base and Technology trims come with front-wheel drive and offer optional all-wheel drive. All other MDX trims come standard with AWD.
Engine and Performance of the 2024 Acura MDX
The base powertrain for this front driver consists of a 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6 and a 10-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is available. But if you select the performance-oriented Type S model you’ll get a turbocharged 355-hp 3.0-liter V-6 and standard all-wheel drive.
The MDX’s steering and handling are its best dynamic attributes. Acura’s latest version of Super Handling All-Wheel Drive impressively enhances the MDX’s nimbleness and helps with wet-weather traction. The MDX has a comfortable ride but can still rail through turns like an SUV half its size.
Fuel Economy in the 2024 Acura MDX
The base MDX gets an EPA fuel-economy rating of 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway; the Type S is rated for 17 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.
The Interior Features and Quality of the 2024 Acura MDX
The MDX’s cabin has a premium look and feel, especially on high-end trims, which come with French-stitched leather on the dashboard and open-pore wood intermingled with metal and piano-black accents. Acura has also outfitted the MDX with plenty of creature comforts, such as dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and leather upholstery. The front seats are supportive and comfortable and can be equipped with niceties such as 16-way power adjustability as well as massage.
The MDX has some other nice interior aspects. The cabin has ample space up front and in the second row. The third row is a bit tight for adults but should suffice for kids. Getting in and out of the cabin takes little effort, and Acura’s push-button seat release for the second row is very easy to use. The middle seat of the second row can be removed for a captain’s chair setup and a centre pass-through that makes third-row access even easier.
The 2024 MDX features a large 12.3-inch infotainment display with a center-console-mounted touchpad controller, which we’re sorry to report is somewhat frustrating to use. A 12.3-inch digital reconfigurable gauge display is also standard, as are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, in-dash navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. The infotainment system interface is problematic, but otherwise, there’s lots of useful technology here. The wide centre screen is attractive and easy to read, and the integrated navigation system works well. The available 16-speaker ELS sound system is impressive and can push a lot of volume through the cabin without muddying the sound.
Safety Features in the 2024 Acura MDX
The 2024 Acura MDX comes with a handful of safety features but only a few of these features are standard in the vehicle and they include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
Prices of the 2024 Acura MDX in Nigeria
