If you’re in the market for an SUV, you have to consider the 2018 Acura MDX Sports Hybrid. This vehicle is not only fuel efficient, it is also a semi autonomous vehicle. With the combination of LKAS and Adoptive Cruise Control, it could almost drive itself. The infotainment is also good with Apple Carplay. The navigation is OK, I have yet to know how the traffic info can be accessed. For an average size and weight, this car is humongous, lots of space for the entire family. We were able to test the seating capacity, drove for about an hour and a half — no complaints; but I will not suggest it for a very long drive as the middle sit of the second row is quite uneasy to look at. Perhaps this can cary 6 adults and 2 kids? Acceleration is quite good for its size and the MPG was easily achieved, actually moe than the advertised combined MPG. We topped it with 28 and change — actual calculation at the fuel pump. Overall, it’s a verry good car to have. No complaints so far as the car is less than a month of ownership.

The rear USB ports are perilously close to the rear drinks holders and unprotected from even the slightest spill. My young boy spilt no more than a straw full of liquid but it was enough to completely short the electronics and completely incapacitate the car and render it undriveable. After a four figure repair sum Acura client relations were rude and completely unsympathetic. Will be the last Acura I ever buy - sticking with Lexus from now on. Shame because the car actually drives great, but doesn't have the attention to detail of other luxury brands.

I owned a 2009 MDX which I bought brand new and loved it for 12 yrs. Wanted to get into a newer one and purchased a used 2018 MDX FWD. I soon realized what others were talking about with the blurry windshield. It’s awful! It’s blurry around the entire perimeter of the windshield, but is most noticeable on both the left and right sides so making a turn gives you an uneasy feeling of not knowing just how close you are to a corner or possibly a person standing there. The worst is driving around a parking lot looking for a spot. Full on nausea can take over and a headache too. I was so upset by this and even more so when I found out from the dealership that all the MDX’s have this issue because it’s the way it’s designed. So I held on to the car not wanting to take a loss and hoped I could get used to the problem. I gave it 6 months and traded it in for a 2019 RDX which I love. So please, if you are considering a 2017 MDX or newer, really see if you can handle the design of the blurriness around the perimeter of the windshield.
Overall a nice Luxury hybrid SUV

This is my 2nd car and my first luxury SUV. I went to shop a certified MDX after selling my Honda CRV, and came out of the dealership leasing a brand new MDX sports hybrid. The looks and feel of the vehicle are very attractive. Fuel economy, handling , and acceleration is great. The sports+ mode gives you the sports car feel along with the paddle shifters. Kind of , severs the purpose of a SUV and a sports car. i want to buy this car after my lease ends, but am in a dilemma , since Acura is not a established name in hybrid motors, so not sure if the vehicle will be relaiable after few years.
