2020 Acura MDX Base

The 2020 Acura MDX is a three-row luxury SUV that blends family practicality with a sportier edge than most rivals. It competes with the Lexus RX, BMW X5, and Audi Q7, offering a more engaging drive than the typical crossover. The MDX handles with surprising agility for its size, and the available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive adds confidence in corners. Inside, you get comfortable seats, a well-organized layout, and a third row that's tight but usable for kids. Standard AcuraWatch safety tech includes adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation braking across the lineup. The Base trim skips the Technology package's navigation and upgraded audio, but keeps the same 3.5L V6 and standard AcuraWatch safety suite. Its 3.5L V6 makes 290 horsepower and pairs with a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, delivering confident acceleration and 22 mpg combined. You get seven seats as standard, and the third row folds flat to open up 68.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
