2018 Acura MDX Brings Updated Tech and Sporty Colors

  • New #mdx gets a refreshed dual-screen user interface with enhanced 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display and 30 percent faster response time
  • Standard Apple CarPlay™ support, Android Auto™ compatibility (both new for 2018) and standard AcuraWatch™ safety and driver assist features make #mdx among the best-equipped vehicles in its segment
  • Expanded color palette adds sporty and sophisticated red hues

The powerful and sophisticated 2018 #acura #mdx luxury #suv begins arriving at #acura dealerships tomorrow with a faster, more capable and modern user interface, vivid new colors and a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)1 starting at $44,200, just $150 more than the outgoing model. The #acura #mdx is the best-selling three-row luxury #suv of all time3 and has been recognized by Edmunds.com as the “Most Wanted Luxury Midsize SUV” (2017) and as “Best Luxury Three-Row #suv for the Money” (2017) by U.S. News & World Report.

For 2018, the #acura #mdx features a redesigned dual-screen user interface(ODMD 2.0) with more intuitive menus and command structures complemented by a new 7-inch capacitive touchscreen (previously resistive type) with a 30-percent faster response time. It includes support for Apple CarPlay™, which seamlessly integrates compatible iPhones in the car, allowing users to get directions optimized for traffic, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music.  It also supports Android Auto™ compatibility – putting some of the most useful Android phone apps on the MDX's display.

Two new eye-catching exterior colors expand the #mdx color palette for 2018: Basque Red, available on base and Technology trims, and sporty San Marino Red on Advance trims. 

Powertrain

The 2018 #acura #mdx features a 3.5-liter direct-injected i-VTEC® 24-valve V6 engine rated at 290 peak horsepower (SAE net) and 267 lb.-ft. peak torque (SAE net) and is available in front-wheel drive or with Acura’s signature Super Handling-All Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system. The #mdx with front-wheel drive and Idle Stop (included with Advance package) has an EPA fuel economy rating of 20 mpg city/27 highway/23 combined2, while the #mdx with Super Handling-All Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) and Idle Stop (included with Advance package) is EPA rated at 19 mpg city/26 highway/22 combined2.

The 2018 #acura #mdx Sport Hybrid Super Handling-All Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) model receives the same updates as the conventional #mdx and will go on sale this winter.
