2011 acura mdx review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Seats seven, with 300 horsepower, responsive handling. introductionthe acura mdx is a luxury mid-size suv, a crossover with all-wheel drive, efficient use of space, decent operating economy, and better-than-average warranty and resale value. It's comfortable, with great seats, and it handles well for a sport-utility. the mdx was last redesigned for 2007, and benefitted from significant changes for the 2010 model year. It's unchanged for 2011. Mdx features bold styling that came with other significant changes in 2010, when it grew by one inch and 19-inch wheels were made available. It also got a new 6-speed automatic transmission for 2010, a revised version of its smooth and powerful v6, and chassis refinements including a retuned active damper system. we drove a 2011 mdx advance model, which has thicker antiroll bars to help it corner flatter and turn better. We found it does that superbly. the mdx is built on a unibody platform. It's neither an adaptation of a passenger car platform nor a truck-based platform. It's not as long as other seven-seat suvs, being closer in size to five-seat crossovers, but it still has good cargo space. It's a solid structure that has proven to wear well, while offering a more comfortable ride and better handling than truck-based suvs. We carried six high-school soccer players on a 200-mile trip, and they loved it, never complaining about tight quarters. from its wild chrome grille to its elaborately stylish cat's-eye headlamps and new bumper, the mdx continues to be edgy, figuratively and literally. It's quickly and easily identified as an acura, and generally presents a wide stance. the seats are laid out in three rows to accommodate seven people; flexible loading and appropriate materials make it family friendly. The front leather bucket seats are the best in the business. It brings enough features to sate most technophiles, yet doesn't get too carried away with aids and assists. acura's silky 3. 7-liter v6 is the most powerful in its class, while getting an epa-rated 16/21 miles per gallon city/highway. There is no v8 option (nor hybrid nor diesel), but with 300 horsepower from the brilliant v6 engine, it's not necessary. the all-wheel drive system can drive each rear wheel independently for maximum traction and to help drive the mdx around a bend. Acura calls the sophisticated system sh-awd, for super handling all-wheel drive, and it's no lie. Handling is superb and the ride taut, with both comfort and performance enhanced on the advance model. the acura mdx competes primarily with the audi q7, bmw x5, cadillac srx, lexus rx 350, mercedes-benz gl and ml, volvo xc90, infiniti fx, lincoln mkt, and porsche cayenne. Active safety features, designed to help the driver avoid accidents in the first place, include all-wheel-drive, electronic stability control, and anti-lock brakes (abs) with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist for panic stops. walkaroundthe mdx was designed in america, at honda's facilities in los angeles and ohio, with input from design centers in st. Moritz, switzerland, and milan, italy. the grille is a metal-filled hole that looks like a battering ram, the new bumper air vents looking very much like a pontiac cue and drawing the eye to the center. Darkened headlight housings place signals above the headlights as on much larger trucks, and the hood is relatively flat. at the rear the license plate recess carries the same five-angle shape as the grille and the tail-lights are easily mistaken for an audi. Tailpipes resemble a wide vacuum cleaner snorkel and, combined with a lack of roof rails and the broad shoulders, make the mdx look lower and wider than it is. substantial arches frame the tires to promote the rugged look, while a gentle upward curve in the body mirrors the downward slope of the glass from the front door back, all meeting up above the rear wheel. Adornment is thoughtfully limited to chrome door handles and window trim, with no cladding to hold road salt or eventually fall off. the mdx is a tidy size. The audi q7, bmw x5 and mercedes gl are all notably longer, while the volvo xc90 and 5-seat lexus rx and mercedes ml almost the same. A three-seat-row cadillac escalade or gmc yukon denali is much larger. acura's power tailgate system can be operated either from the key remote key fob, a button on the driver's door panel, or from a button located inside the tailgate. The tailgate motor is in the d-pillar, not the roof, which yields more headroom for the third-row occupants. Acura makes the best bucket seats we know of. Leather, perforated for the ventilated front seats on advance models, is the default fabric for the front two rows. Entry an exit to third row is best left to smaller, more agile bodies though a subcompact adult will fit if needed. a ram's horn shape dominates the dash, with wood sweeping from a near-point where the dash and console meet, up and across, then rolling right into the door trim panels. The wood is new for 2010 as is the black-matte finish on the center control panel, and we have to admit the matte-black came off better than the wood which seems too busy with graining, sort of a combination of bmw's horizontal-grain dark walnut and infiniti's vertical grain-maple. the driver works with a tilt-and-telescoping dished leather-wrapped steering wheel, the aluminum trim punctuated by eleven switches; shift paddles are standard for 2010. Speed and engine rpm show in two nacelles, with coolant temperature and fuel level in half nacelles outboard. It is controlled using the big multifunction button at the bottom of the panel but does voice recognition as well as any such system. The screen is also used for three rear camera views; a semi-wide-angle normal display, 180-degree fisheye for backing into a parking lot with vans on both sides, and an overhead display for trailer loading or best depth definition. switches and controls on the center panel number 48, a lot of white-on-black that might overwhelm at first but quickly becomes more familiar. At the top, the climate controls surround a digital display for radio and climate data; there is no need to go through the central controller and nav screen to do all common operations. Advance models offer seat heat front and middle and ventilated front seats, and on navigation cars the climate co.
