The Acura MDX is a SUV with many firsts! The MDX was the first crossover SUV with third row seating! It is rumored that MDX stand for “Mullti-Dimensional Luxury”- whether that is true …? The 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 Acura MDX boasted 265 HP, and was the first truly sophisticated 4 WD System. Variable Torque Management will actually anticpate wheel slippage, and through a series of electronics will adjust the balance of power between front and rear wheels! A great test for this system, is to stop on a gravel drive way or parking lot, step on the gas and watch what happens… the MDX will interpret the loss of traction, adjust power distribution, and accelerate over the gravel without spraying the gravel all over the under-body! A conventional- well let’s just say- I hope that someone is not behind the vehicle! 2003 MDXs did receive a more structural and suspension modifications to improve the ride of the Acura MDX. The 2003s also added about 20 more horsepower which helped distinguish it amongst the pack. In 2004 the Acura MDXs went to dual tail pipes which may have attributed some to the 5 horsepower bump- the significant changes however were the side curtain air bags, front and rear lights, new wheels, and most important fit and finish upgrades!
2nd Generation MDX from 2007 until now- has set the SUV world on fire! Wider track and longer wheelbase ! The introduction of the ACE system or Advance Compatibility Engineering was crucial. The 2nd Generation MDX will actually absorb the impact of various vehicle types throughout thee front crumple zones. Crash Energy is dissipated around the cabin, to help minimize the risk of injuries! Horsepower shot up to 300, and sport tuned suspension were tested in Germany’s Nurburing Race Track! Variable Torque Management grew into “Super Handling All Wheel Drive”- which is the most advance AWD system in the world. The 2007 and up MDX come in 3 packages!
1. Technology-Acura/Alpine DVD-based satellite GPS navigation system with AcuraLink satellite communications with real-time traffic reporting (XM NavTraffic), a 410-watt Acura/ELS DTS Surround audio system with XM Satellite Radio, rearview camera, and a remote powered liftgate, operated either from the key’s remote, inside the car or directly from the lift gate

The Sport Package featured active suspension dampers (co-developed by Honda and Delphi) that dynamically improves handling according to road conditions with a button in the center stack to switch to Sport/Comfort modes.
