2014 Acura MDX Long-Term Road Test - Edmunds.com
What We Got . Three-row SUVs are one of the fastest-growing market segments for good reason. In other words, they act like minivans without being minivans. With that in mind, the redesigned Acura MDX certainly piqued our interest. It's the best-selling model in Acura's lineup and has been for some time. Consider that it also earned an "A" rating and you understand why adding a 2014 Acura MDX to our long-term fleet made perfect sense. Acura models are available in a slim number of trim levels that encompass a wide variety of features. We ordered an MDX in Technology and Entertainment trim, a midpack level that adds three-zone climate control, blind-spot warning, DVD player and second-row heated seats. We also made sure to check the box for Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) for added versatility. "The grip provided by the SH-AWD system gives me the feeling that if I wanted to blow past the speed limit (I never would) I could, and the MDX would stay on course. If I need the MDX to get up to freeway speed, it is more than willing. It moves as easily as an aggressive car that handles really well and can seat seven. Source: www.edmunds.com
