I always thought the earlier MDX’s styling was inoffensive, maybe a little dorky (as if I should talk). It goes on sale this fall with prices ranging from about $41,000 to $48,000 - an increase of roughly $4,000.īuilt on a new unibody truck platform, the slightly longer MDX has lost only fractions of an inch in height, but it looks considerably lower. It strays into risky styling territory and takes at least one ergonomic step backward.Īs before, the MDX is a single trim level, leaving option packages to distinguish one from another. My one-day drive of the 2007 model revealed that the MDX retains all the positive attributes for which Acuras are renowned and improves upon many performance aspects.

A Best Bet for as long as we’ve awarded the honor, the MDX was ahead of the curve in this category, offering seven seats as standard equipment and luring buyers away from the Lexus RX (which still has only five).

The MDX, Acura’s seven-seat luxury SUV, has been completely re-engineered and redesigned for the first time since its 2001 debut. To see what details are different this year, check out a side-by-side comparison of the two model years. Little of substance has changed with this year’s model. Editor’s note: This review was written in September 2006 about the 2007 Acura MDX.
