Product Overview

Acura MDX (chassis code YD1) is a mid-size crossover in production from 2001 to 2006. It was available with a range of tunes of the J-series V6 engine that displaced 3.5 liters paired to a single 5-speed automatic transmission. AWD is standard.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Acura MDX is hardly the "offroader" that Acura would like you to think. Instead, it is akin to a mid-size station wagon with worse aerodynamics.
Utility-minded owners will love the 2308L (82cu-ft) cargo space.
