Acura MDX A-Spec 2019 car

A Sporty Look, Comfortable Ride and Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive

The Acura MDX is part of Honda's family, giving it an underrated sports car feel, comfortable ride and high-tech amenities not often seen in this segment.

This vehicle's 290-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 engine and 9-speed automatic work together to provide strong acceleration with minimal effort. The powertrain is suitable for its class; fuel economy numbers of 20 mpg city, 27 highway, and 23 combined are impressively good.

Even in the most compliant of A-Spec's modes, I couldn't help but admire its ability to keep the ride secure and reassuring through corners. Unlike many SUVs, it doesn't understeer until you reach a corner; then it reacts quickly by diverting some power for improved handling as you enter it.

Handling on the MDX is as good, if not better, than before, which should be expected given SH-AWD is now standard. As before, there's not too much body roll when turning and its dampers have been meticulously tuned to handle even rough pavement.

A-Spec's interior offers an upgrade over the base model in terms of materials, with red or black leather with Alcantara inserts available. The gauges are distinctive, the steering wheel features paddle shifters and sport pedals, the doors boast carbon fiber accents, and seats offer more support than their base models counterparts.
