2024 Acura MDX
The 2024 Acura MDX is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV with three rows of seats produced by Japanese automaker Honda under the luxury Acura. The 2024 Acura MDX comes with an attractive exterior, clear handling for its size, and bold tech features. The third row is just for kids, not as fuel-efficient as some rivals, the infotainment controller takes getting used to. The 2024 MDX stands out as a practical human transport vehicle and offers more than a sporty look, its interior lacks the glitz of more luxury-oriented SUVs.
The 2024 MDX has been improved in almost every way, the cabin has a high-end look and feel, and every MDX comes with a full complement of standard advanced driving aids. The 2024 Acura MDX is a seven-seat mid-size SUV available in six trim levels MDX, Technology, A-Spec, Advance, MDX Type S, and Type S Advance. Base and Technology skins come standard with front-wheel drive and offer all-wheel drive as an option.
2024 Acura MDX : Interior
The MDX’s cabin has a premium look and feels, especially in the high-end upholstery that comes with French-stitched leather on the dashboard and open-pore wood mixed with metal and piano black accents. Acura likewise equipped the MDX with a lot of common luxuries, for example, double zone programmed environment control, warmed front seats, and cowhide upholstery. The front seats are supportive and comfortable and can be equipped with massage as well as intricacies such as 16-way power adjustment. The first and second rows offer plenty of passenger space, but the MDX’s third row is still a kid-only affair. While the interior is beautifully designed and offers plenty of comfort options, it doesn’t feel as luxurious as cabins from competitors like the Genesis GV80 or Volvo XC90.
The 2023 MDX features a large 12.3-inch infotainment display with a center console-mounted touchpad controller, and we’re sorry to report that it’s a little annoying. A 12.3-inch digital reconfigurable instrument display is also standard, as is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, built-in navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. Technology equipment includes an ELS Studio stereo system, while A-Spec and Advanced models feature a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D setup.
