Acura MDX Reviews 2013

Despite good handling prowess, we don't think it's worth the toll on ride quality exacted by the adjustable suspension on Advance models.

Advance models with the suspension in Sport mode shine here, exhibiting good control of body lean and sharper steering response than with the base suspension.

We found the MDX a very welcome long-weekend companion, with enough room for the occasional back-seat wardrobe change, space for plenty of gear, decent performance and fuel economy, and generally comfortable driving.

Rather than the somewhat delicate, beak-nosed vehicle of the past, this one's squarish stance and big air scoops made it look like a hardened criminal.

This physical powerhouse is also a tech powerhouse, with an array of safety technology to keep you and your six passengers entertained on roads less twisty.

The 2012 Acura MDX’s interior is high-tech and high-class, but because of all that technology, its controls are confusing.

Longer, lower and wider than the more conservative-looking model it replaces, the 2007 MDX's sculpted exterior is both bolder and richer-looking.

Designers got it right with comfortable seating and a stylish appearance -- but the control layout still continues to disappoint some.

The MDX has always received praise for its sporty performance, which has become even more impressive with this year's transmission and handling improvements.

The Acura MDX doesn’t win a lot of points for its unconventional looks.

The second row seats are among the most comfortable I have sampled in any SUV.

It stands out from the pack with eccentric styling that marks a radical departure from the previous model.

The first five gears are relatively short for good acceleration and economy around town.

Whether you're in the front seat, middle row or all the way at the back, you've got yourself a comfy seat.

Pushed, the engine sounds good, the transmission shifts cleanly, and it’s all very buttery and refined.

With its V-6 engine coupled with a six-speed automatic, the MDX is surprisingly fast and fun to drive, but not as capable at towing and off-road driving as other SUVs.

The 2012 Acura MDX carries on its role as a lavishly equipped, sporty family hauler that can still manage to sip gas.

When it comes to ergonomic bungles, nothing comes close to the replacement of Acura's exceptional touch-screen control and navigation system display with the knob interface from the RL flagship sedan.

It's top rated in crash tests and has a history of above-average reliability.

The perfectly practical MDX is also one of the most powerful, most tech-savvy V6 SUVs on the road.

Power, performance and usability make the 2012 Acura MDX an unusually capable premium midsize SUV.

The MDX’s 3.7-liter V-6 engine is a gem, with strong acceleration and impressive passing power making the MDX one of the most capable crossovers in its class.

The Acura MDX is an all-star in safety, with top results in all U.S. crash tests, ranking as one of the most secure vehicles of any type.

The 2010 Acura MDX is a seven-passenger, three-row luxury crossover vehicle. It puts a strong emphasis on style, utility, and comfort, while downplaying any off-road ability.

The MDX is priced right in the same range as other luxury-brand crossovers, but it sure doesn't disappoint in terms of features.
