Acura hits a home run with 7 passenger MDX


Out with old, in with the new.

Its very cliche, but still very true. Once things get older - say a cassette player, sneakers with half the sole missing and that ham sandwich hidden in the back of the refrigerator since the Reagan era - theyll need to be replaced with something newer, and most-likely improved.

Enter the 2014 Acura MDX. While the previous generations were quite popular, Acura decided to shake the tree and re-invent its midsize SUV.

To start, the MDX is now powered by a 3.5L direct-injected Earth Dreams V6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management. Fuel efficiency is improved with a respectable 20/28/23 mpg (city/hwy/combined) for FWD models, and 18/27/2 1 for AWD. Suspension strikes a good balance between ride and handling, while the steering feels accurate and well-weighted.

Inside the cabin sits 3-rows of comfort, which is rarely seen in a luxury midsize SUV. Interior noise is greatly diminished with the additions of an acoustic windshield, acoustic front door glass and thicker rear glass.

With the removal of the button-heavy center stack, the Acura MDX now offers a standard touchscreen, as well as other convenient features like tri-zone automatic climate control, eight-speaker stereo with satellite radio and USB/aux ports, Bluetooth and multi-view backup camera. If youre looking for an upgrade, you have the option of getting a 10-speaker stereo with 15GB media storage and HD Radio, adaptive cruise control and navigation with voice recognition.

Safety is where its at in the Acura MDX. Along with a laundry list of standard in clusions like the drivers knee airbag, many available features include the Lane Keeping System and Collision Mitigation Braking System. The IIHS recently awarded the MDX with a Top Safety Pick, making it one of the safest SUVs on the road today.
