General nameplate overview

Unscoped catalog background, not specifications for a particular year or trim. Review status is unknown except for the assertions cited below.

The Acura MDX is a mid-size, three-row luxury crossover that has been the brand’s volume flagship since its introduction in 2001. Now in its fourth generation (2022–present), the MDX blends practical three-row packaging with Acura’s SH‑AWD torque-vectoring all‑wheel system on higher trims; the standard powerplant through the mainstream lineup is a 3.5‑liter V6 while the Type S uses a 3.0‑liter turbo V6. Across the 2022–2026 lifecycle the MDX has emphasized roomy cargo capacity for the class, advanced driver aids (AcuraWatch), and a gradually more premium interior and tech stack.

For 2026 the MDX lineup is largely a carryover: MSRPs range from the low‑$50k base to the Type S flagship near $77k, and powertrains include the 290‑hp 3.5L V6 (base/tech/A‑Spec/Advance) and the Type S 3.0L turbo V6 (about 355 hp). EPA fuel‑economy figures vary by drivetrain and trim (roughly in the high teens to mid‑20s mpg for the V6 range; the Type S is the thirstiest). The MDX can tow up to 5,000 lb and continues to prioritize a quiet, well‑equipped cabin, good cargo behind the second row, and available high‑end audio and comfort packages (Technology, A‑Spec, Advance).
