Acura’s three-row MDX accommodates up to seven, is blessed with added “Zip,” and has a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. Admittedly the third row is small -- actually too small for adults -- but first and second row are fairly comfortable.
Engine Power
Power is provided by a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 with Variable Cylinder Management, and passed through a nine-speed automatic transmission with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) System. The whole power chain achieves an official fuel consumption rating of 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, for a 22 mpg combined average.
