2016 Acura MDX - CNET UK
Cornering ability isn't something I expect from a seven-passenger SUV, but the MDX surprised me by holding itself flat in the turns and using its torque vectoring all-wheel-drive to dance around the apexes. That, however, was the 2010 Acura MDX , the second generation of Acura's largest SUV that complemented its Super Handling All-wheel drive with a magnetic adaptive suspension. The 2016 Acura MDX retains the all-wheel-drive system, but went to a fixed suspension in its third-generation revamp. Up front, corporate styling means a shield-shaped grille with a single, badge-embedded bar establishing a common identity among all new models in the Acura line-up, from the small ILX to the big MDX. And though the MDX comes with third-row seating, the visual impression is more five-passenger SUV. In fact, the MDX is only half an inch longer than the BMW X5. I found access to the third row seating reasonable, with plenty of space to step through between the second row and C-pillar. Pricing for the MDX starts at $43,785 with destination, but that is for a front-wheel-drive model. Source: www.cnet.com
