Acura’s largest sport utility vehicle (SUV) has been completely redesigned for the 2007 model year. The first complete overhaul of Acura’s 7-passenger (3-row) sport utility includes the installation of Acura’s largest and most powerful V-6, as well as what Acura terms Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. For those who might want to enhance the MDX’s athletic abilities, Acura also offers a Sport Package with an Active Damper System—technology that reacts in as little as .005 seconds to enhance the athletic abilities of this 7-passenger SUV.
Acura introduced its MDX full-size SUV as a 2001 model, and in the ensuing years, this 7-passenger model has accounted for nearly one-third of all Acura sales in the United States. For 2007, however, the MDX is virtually an all-new model. The redesign includes a new exterior that Acura hopes prospective buyers will think was inspired by an expensive yacht. The new MDX is longer, lower, and wider than its predecessor.
