Model Highlights
The 2019 Acura MDX is available with five different trim levels, labeled packages; Standard, Technology, Advance, Entertainment and the new A-Spec. A 3.5L V6 engine, making 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, powers all trims of the MDX with exception of the Sport Hybrid. The power is sent to the wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission with economical or sport shifting modes. The Sport Hybrid model is powered by a fuel-efficient 3.0L V6, which combined with the electric motor, creates 321 horsepower. The Sport Hybrid is paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch auto-shift transmission. Power is sent to the wheels via Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system (SH-AWD). Front-wheel drive is also available.
No MDX is lightly equipped. The Standard trim features 18-inch wheels, automatic LED headlights, speed-sensitive windshield wipers, multi-view rear camera, power liftgate, power leather seating with heated front seats, tri-zone climate control, keyless entry, keyless ignition and a sunroof.

All MDX models come standard with AcuraWatch Plus, a suite of active safety features that includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and lane departure warning.
