Acura MDX
Redesigned two years ago, Acura’s midsize luxury SUV boasts a revised lineup for 2024. A 3.5-litre V6 producing 290 horsepower drives most models, while the MDX Type S Ultra packs a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 rated at 355 horsepower. All of them rely on a 10-speed automatic transmission. Comfort and build quality deserve praise, but access to the third-row seats could be improved. Pricing remains competitive in the segment.
