The current generation MDX dates back to the 2014 model year, which is definitely getting into senior citizen status for the automotive world. Yet the 2019 Acura MDX's virtues are intact. Thanks to a constant stream of updates, the MDX remains a top pick for a luxury SUV. With three rows of seating and a large, comfortable cabin, it works great as a family hauler, and it presents plenty of value thanks to an impressive number of standard features for the money.

It's available with two powertrains. The optional gasoline-electric hybrid has a 3.0-liter V6 engine, while the base version has a 3.5-liter V6. While the hybrid delivers better fuel economy and quicker acceleration, the base version is no slouch. All MDXs are available with Acura's sophisticated Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive (SH-AWD) system, which has a tangible positive influence on handling.

The MDX has a couple of downsides, with the main one that its interior doesn't quite match the opulent luxury found in some rival models. Overall, though, the 2019 MDX remains a worthy contender among three-row midsize luxury crossover SUVs.

How much did we like the MDX's quiet interior? How was the tech? Was the cargo room sufficient for everyday use? How was the fuel economy? Learn this and more from our test. Note that the 2019 MDX differs from the 2014 model we tested — in 2016, it added a new SH-AWD system, nine-speed automatic, smartphone integration and a hybrid trim — but our coverage is otherwise applicable.

2019 Acura MDX models

The 2019 Acura MDX is a three-row luxury SUV that seats up to seven. It's offered in four trim levels (also referred to as packages): Standard, Technology, Advance and A-Spec. The Standard and Technology MDXs come nicely equipped, and the Advance has all the features you'll likely want in this class of vehicle. A-Spec is an appearance package.

All of the above employ a 3.5-liter V6 engine (290 horsepower, 267 lb-ft) that's paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission with either front- or all-wheel drive. The Sport Hybrid uses a smaller 3.0-liter V6 in conjunction with three electric motors (combined 321 hp, 289 lb-ft) and a seven-speed automatic transmission to deliver an estimated 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving.

Highlights of the Standard trim include 18-inch wheels, automatic LED headlights, a power liftgate, a sunroof, and keyless entry and ignition. Inside, you'll find power-adjustable front seats with heating, driver-seat memory settings, a power-adjustable steering wheel, leather upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Tech features include support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a dual-screen infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, five USB ports, and an eight-speaker sound system. The MDX's standard AcuraWatch safety suite features forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane and road departure warning and mitigation, and adaptive cruise control.

The Technology trim adds niceties such as 20-inch wheels, automatic wipers, remote engine start, power-folding side mirrors, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a navigation system, a color driver information display, and a 10-speaker premium audio system with HD radio.

This year's new A-Spec trim level is similar to the Technology but has blacked-out exterior trim, wider wheels and tires, a thicker-rimmed steering wheel, front seat ventilation and unique cabin cosmetics.

Compared to the Technology trim, Advance turns on the charm with front and rear parking sensors, LED foglights, automatic engine stop-start, adaptive suspension dampers, wider wheels and tires, a top-down surround-view camera system, a heated steering wheel, sport seats with premium leather and trim, front-seat ventilation, heated second-row captain's chairs, second-row sunshades, and two additional USB ports for the third row.

An Entertainment package can be specified with either the Technology or Advance package and adds a rear entertainment system. If you add it to the Technology package, it comes with a 9-inch screen and 11 audio speakers. If you pair it to the Advance package, it comes with a 16.2-inch screen (with an HDMI input) and 12 audio speakers. Note that it replaces the standard second-row bench seating with heated captain's chairs for the Technology trim.

Finally, there's the all-wheel-drive MDX Sport Hybrid. It's available in the Technology and Advance trims only.

Trim tested

Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the Acura MDX SH-AWD A-Spec (3.5L V6 | 9-speed automatic | AWD).

Scorecard

Overall	8.0 / 10
Driving	8.0
Comfort	8.0
Interior	7.5
Utility	9.0
Technology	7.5

Driving

8.0

The 290-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, nine-speed automatic transmission and optional Super Handling All-Wheel Drive are key factors in making the MDX one of the most confident midsize SUVs to drive. It's not exciting, but it is effortlessly capable.

Acceleration

8.5

Acceleration is smooth and sufficient at low speeds, but there's not a lot of thrust in the middle of the rev range. Freeway passing needs a heavy foot to force multiple downshifts. The MDX accelerates to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds — considerably quicker than the Infiniti QX60 and Lexus RX 350L, but it trails luxury rivals equipped with boosted six-cylinder engines.

Braking

7.0

Pedal effort is light, and the initial bite is lower in the pedal stroke. Push past this point, and the brakes feel grabby. You can still bring the MDX to a stop smoothly, but it requires some practice. A 60-0 mph stopping distance of 131 feet is average for the segment.

Steering

8.0

Among the three steering modes, Normal's effort is suitable, and Sport's tighter on-center effort lends an impression of stability at highway speeds. Comfort mode is overly light. The wheel communicates some road texture so you can feel what's under the tires, which is unusual for a family-oriented crossover, and we like it.

Handling

8.5

The torque-vectoring AWD system is impressive. It reduces understeer and allows this big SUV to turn around corners with poise and confidence. In most situations, the MDX doesn't feel like a sporty SUV, but it sure handles like one.

Drivability

7.0

Transmission shifts are smoother than in the 2016-2017 MDX, and they are generally pleasant in routine driving. The engine stop-start system is too slow to restart the engine, which causes the MDX to feel slightly lurchy when you pull away quickly from a stop.

Off-road

7.5

The MDX’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive is designed more for inclement weather than off-road exploration, which is typical in this luxury-oriented class. It lacks the terrain and surface settings of the Honda Pilot and doesn't offer hill descent control.

Comfort

8.0

Comfortable seats and ample sound deadening are hard to fault. The ride is a little smoother and cushier than in last year's model. The climate controls are a little difficult to use as they are split awkwardly between hard keys and digital buttons.

Seat comfort

8.5

The seats are well-shaped and offer all-day comfort. Set the seat position once and you'll never have to adjust it. If you're traveling over poorly paved roads, you won't feel it through the plush cushioning. The A-Spec's unique faux-suede upholstery is thick and pliable, and it keeps cool on hot days.

Ride comfort

8.5

Even with large 20-inch wheels, the MDX rides comfortably. The retuned suspension has smoothed and reduced the impact of sharp bumps. Overall, body motions are well-controlled, and bigger undulations are nicely damped.

Noise & vibration

8.5

Wind noise is minimal at highway speeds. The smooth-revving V6 never feels harsh and stays quiet below 5,000 rpm. There is some mild thumping from the tires over surface changes, but overall this machine is well-isolated.

Climate control

7.0

The climate controls are split between the touchscreen and a row of buttons and rocker switches. The layout is more logical than in some other Acura and Honda products, but it requires an extra step for certain adjustments. The seat ventilation isn't very strong. The third row lacks air vents.

Interior

7.5

Spacious and versatile for the midsize luxury segment. Though its third row is tight, it's still more usable than most. We like the MDX's near-ideal driving position, but the two-screen display and transmission selector could be better. Note that the mechanically related Honda Pilot is even more practical.

Ease of use

5.5

The push-button gear selector requires that drivers look down to see what they're doing, which isn't optimal. The same goes for the two-screen infotainment system, which divides functions between the upper display (with a dash-mounted knob controller) and the lower touchscreen.

Getting in/getting out

7.5

Clever single-press buttons slide the second-row seats forward for third-row access, but the resulting pass-through can be a squeeze for adults. Otherwise, access to the front- and second-row seats is good and comparable to others in the segment.

Driving position

8.5

A highly adjustable driver's seat and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column are standard on all MDX models, so chances are good that you'll be able to find a comfortable position. The dead pedal is too close to the driver to really stretch your left leg comfortably.

Roominess

8.0

The front seats feel spacious in every dimension, but there's not as much headroom in the second row as in rivals. That said, only very tall people will notice. The third row will suit only kids and perhaps adults of short stature. Still, it's better than the third rows of other luxury SUVs.

Visibility

8.0

The tall side windows, an upright windshield and big side mirrors all facilitate visibility, but the second-row seat blocks the rear-quarter window. The optional surround-view camera lends significantly more confidence while parking, but it's only available on the top Advance trim.

Quality

7.5

Everything appears meticulously put together, and the A-Spec's faux-carbon trim and faux-suede upholstery add an air of sportiness. European competitors manage to feel more substantial than the MDX, and their cabin designs are more elegant.

Utility

9.0

Convenience and efficiency play a big part in vehicle utility, and the Acura MDX capitalizes on the space it occupies. Total storage volume is spacious, and easy fold-flat seats make loading long cargo a breeze. Interior storage space is another area that was thoughtfully configured.

Small-item storage

9.0

The MDX's cabin features large cupholders and door bins, plus a deep center bin with clever flip compartment configurations that can hold a purse or a tablet. The smart use of space stands out.

Cargo space

9.0

The MDX has a slightly larger total cargo capacity than other three-row midsize luxury crossovers, and it's more sizable than two-row rivals. We loved how the third- and second-row seats fold flat and provide a level load floor, and the in-floor storage bin in the cargo area is a nice touch.

Child safety seat accommodation

8.0

There are two car seat anchors on each of the outboard middle seats, hidden under slits. They are slightly below the slit and quite easy to access. Tethers are on the bottom of the second-row seatback. No anchors in the third row, but there are two tethers in the middle of the seatback.

Towing

7.0

The all-wheel-drive MDX can tow up to 5,000 pounds (front-wheel-drive models are limited to 3,500 pounds), but you'll have to buy the $990 hitch. It has a higher tow capacity than some rivals, but competitors from Germany and the UK can all tow more than 7,000 pounds.

Technology

7.5

The MDX's dual-screen setup certainly looks high-tech but isn't terribly intuitive, even after you've used it for a while. It's difficult to remember which screen contains which settings. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are present, but the knob controller is suboptimal.

Smartphone integration

8.0

The A-Spec features five USB ports: three under the front armrest console and two behind the console for rear passengers. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, but the image is displayed on the top screen. That means you have to use the dash-mounted knob controller to access it.

Driver aids

6.0

The MDX boasts many features, but they're not all well-sorted. The adaptive cruise accelerated and braked suddenly in heavy traffic. In several instances, it accelerated after coming to a complete stop, even though the car in front hadn't moved. It slammed on the brakes afterward, preventing a collision, but the action was jarring. Lane keeping assist didn't always activate. The surround-view camera display resolution is muddy.

Voice control

7.5

The voice control system recognizes speech well, and navigation instructions are easily understood. It didn't always have our phonebook indexed, so calling via voice commands ("Call Mike," for example) wasn't always possible.

5 out of 5 stars, An SUV handles like a car

Jackie, 12/24/2018

SH-AWD w/Technology and Entertainment Packages 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Handles like a car. The new tech package is great. We love the 2nd row captains chairs. Many cool features. I leased the car now wishing we bought.

5 out of 5 stars, MDX solid and proven after 10k

Tom, 02/10/2019

SH-AWD 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Solid proven well appointed, good size, excellent technology package, 20 inch tires, very comfortable. Beats my Mercedes ml class. No real extras. best price thru Edmunds After 1 year, 10k mileage, not a single problem. Great

5 out of 5 stars, Love it! Love it! Love it!

Terri T., 01/04/2019

SH-AWD w/Advance Package 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

I have had just about every SUV on the market. I was going to get the Q7 this time but just cannot justify the price and my local dealers customer service is lacking. This time, we tested the RX350L,( we have loved our current RX350 but need something bigger for our 2nd vehicle) Infiniti QX60 and the MDX. Our sales person at Lexus told us to test drive the MDX (LOL!) we went across the street and it was love at first sight. We like all the features and tech, the sportiness of the exterior and the customer service was truly the best ever. For the first time, we actually enjoyed the process. Everyone was very professional, friendly and we didn't feel like we were being "sold". Shout out to Acura of Brookfield! I can't see us driving anything else.

5 out of 5 stars, Third MDX since 2014

David, 01/10/2019

SH-AWD w/Advance Package 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 9A)

Have now purchased our 3rd MDX since 2014. Traded in our std 2014 MDX FWD Tech pkg on the new 2019. Had a 2016 SH-AWD Advance/Tech pkg and absolutely loved it but traded it for a Sierra Denali 4x4 truck only because I bought a big boat and needed something to tow it. Looked at all comparable SUV’s in this class including Lexus, Benz, BMW and Audi. We just keep coming back to the MDX. Who cares about badging status on the hood? Spending over $55K on a vehicle is a significant decision for anyone. The MDX is better at fuel economy, doesn’t break, handles great, has plenty of room, rich in features & feel with a great ride and handling. We kept coming back to the 2019 MDX which we just bought after Christmas 2018. Love the comfort and features of the second row buckets with very practical and usable center console. We are very pleased and experienced owners of Acura products. My son also drives an Acura. He has a TSX and it’s simply a lot of car for the money. Again very low maintenance costs, no breakdowns, fantastic fuel economy with a pleasure to drive in town and highway feel.

Acura MDX vs. the competition

Acura MDX vs. Infiniti QX60

If space and smoothness are priorities, the QX60 might be up your alley. It has three rows of seating and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is inherently smoother than any other gearbox. But the QX60 lacks the MDX's relatively sharp steering and handling. It's less expensive in base form than the MDX, though options in the QX60 are offered in somewhat expensive bundles.

Compare Acura MDX & Infiniti QX60 features

Acura MDX vs. Honda Pilot

Fraternal twin to the Acura MDX, the Honda Pilot is the less expensive, more mainstream companion. It's not quite as well-equipped or fancy on the inside, but the Pilot shares its size, many of its driver assistance features and V6 engine with the MDX. If you're willing to forgo some amenities and tech hardware, the Pilot will serve you well.

Compare Acura MDX & Honda Pilot features

Acura MDX vs. Lexus RX 350L

Only the L version of the Lexus RX has a third-row seat, and it's a less spacious row than that of the MDX. The RX 350L also isn't as sporty as the MDX, but it is a very comfortable and quiet choice for covering long-distances. Its V6 engine has plenty of power, too. Like the MDX, the RX is also available as a hybrid. Overall, we prefer the MDX for its more engaging driving dynamics.

More about the 2019 Acura MDX

The 2019 Acura MDX is a capable and enjoyable-to-drive luxury three-row SUV. Like all Acuras, it's available as a single model with two major option packages and your choice of front- or all-wheel drive. All MDXs employ a 3.5-liter V6 and a nine-speed automatic, except for the hybrid, which uses a 3.0-liter V6 and a seven-speed automatic in conjunction with three electric motors.

In base form, the 2019 Acura MDX comes solidly equipped with comfort, safety and technology features, including tri-zone climate control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The major packages for the MDX are called Technology, Advance and A-Spec. As the name suggests, the Technology package includes more electronic equipment such as a 10-speaker premium audio system and driver aids such as navigation and blind-spot monitoring. The Advance package provides more creature comforts, including premium leather, ventilated front seats and heated second-row captain's chairs. An optional Entertainment package adds a DVD-based rear entertainment system. A-Spec is an appearance package that offers half-inch wider wheels and Acura's self-described Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system.

The available hybrid system improves power and fuel economy. The system employs a 3.0-liter V6 engine and three electric motors, one as part of the powertrain package and one turning each of the rear wheels. The hybrid also replaces the nine-speed automatic with a seven-speed transmission. Total system output is 321 horsepower. The EPA fuel economy rating for the hybrid is 27 mpg combined.

The MDX is well-regarded among buyers for its impressive build quality, reliability record and resale values. We like it because it's enjoyable to drive. Acura's SH-AWD system helps to make it one of the more engaging luxury SUVs on the market, though the ride can be a bit firmer than in other luxury SUVs — but not firm enough to bother us. And in terms of practicality, the MDX is one of just a handful of midsize luxury SUVs that offer the convenience of a third-row seat. When you're ready to find yours, use Edmunds' suite of shopping tools to find the perfect 2019 Acura MDX for you.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Acura MDX SUV?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
