REFINED, VERSATILE, LOCAL TRADE-IN, NONSMOKER, LUXURY WITH A SPORTING EDGE! The 2023 Acura MDX SH-AWD is the kind of luxury SUV that remembers the person behind the wheel while still handling the realities of family life. Finished in deep Majestic Black Pearl, this LOCAL TRADE-IN combines three-row versatility with a naturally aspirated V6, Acura's sophisticated Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, and a chassis engineered to feel considerably more responsive than the typical family crossover. There is plenty of substance behind the upscale presentation. The MDX provides seating for seven, a panoramic moonroof, dual 12.3' displays, wireless smartphone integration, a comprehensive AcuraWatch safety suite, and up to 5,000 pounds of towing capability with SH-AWD when properly equipped. It is comfortable enough for the daily routine while retaining the confident road manners that have long distinguished Acura's flagship SUV. Why Shoppers Buy This Model The MDX appeals to shoppers who need genuine three-row practicality but do not want their SUV to feel oversized or disconnected. Its cabin is spacious and thoughtfully arranged, the removable second-row center seat creates useful flexibility between bench-style seating and a more open center passage, and the third row folds away when cargo space takes priority. Driving dynamics are another major part of the appeal. Acura pairs a double-wishbone front suspension with SH-AWD, giving the MDX unusually composed responses for a seven-person luxury SUV. Rather than functioning solely as an all-weather traction system, SH-AWD can actively distribute torque between the rear wheels to help the vehicle feel more responsive and settled through corners. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition This generation of MDX earned considerable praise for moving Acura's flagship SUV further upscale while preserving the brand's performance-minded personality. Reviewers have particularly appreciated its sharp handling, spacious and flexible interior, strong standard safety technology, and the refinement of its redesigned platform.

Standard Features Acura equips the MDX generously even before moving into its higher package levels. A panoramic moonroof opens up the cabin, heated front seats make colder mornings more comfortable, tri-zone automatic climate control helps accommodate occupants throughout the interior, and power-adjustable front seats include memory settings for both the driver and front passenger. The flexible second row includes a removable center seat, while one-touch Smart Slide access makes reaching the third row easier. Fold the rear seating when needed and the MDX provides as much as 95 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume, giving this luxury SUV the flexibility to transition from people-moving to serious cargo duty. Installed Options Majestic Black Pearl was a $600 premium paint selection for 2023, giving this MDX a particularly rich finish that complements its crisp body lines and bright exterior detailing. Mechanical Features Acura's 3.5-liter naturally aspirated i-VTEC V6 produces 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, delivering the smooth, progressive power delivery that has long been a hallmark of Honda and Acura V6 engines. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring Sequential SportShift paddle shifters, allowing relaxed highway cruising while keeping plenty of ratios available when quicker response is wanted. SH-AWD is one of the most important reasons to choose this configuration. The system can vary torque distribution not only between the front and rear axles but also from side to side across the rear axle, helping the MDX put power down confidently while contributing to its unusually agile cornering behavior. A double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension further separate the MDX from more ordinary three-row crossovers. Acura also provides five Integrated Dynamics System modes -- Snow, Comfort, Normal, Individual, and Sport -- allowing the vehicle's responses to better suit the road and the driver's preferences. When properly equipped, this SH-AWD configuration is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, giving it useful capability for a small boat, recreational trailer, or similar weekend equipment. Exterior Features Majestic Black Pearl suits the MDX particularly well, emphasizing its broad stance, sculpted sides, and prominent Diamond Pentagon grille. Jewel Eye LED headlights are paired with Acura's distinctive Chicane LED daytime running lights and LED taillights, creating a recognizable lighting signature both day and night. A panoramic moonroof is standard, as are heated side mirrors with reverse-gear tilt-down capability, mirror-integrated directional signals, acoustic laminated windshield and front side glass, and a power liftgate. The standard 19' alloy wheels balance a substantial appearance with the ride comfort expected from a premium three-row SUV. Interior Features The MDX cabin is built around flexibility. Seating for seven comes standard, but the removable second-row center seat gives owners the ability to create a more open second-row arrangement when that better suits the family. One-touch second-row access simplifies entry to the 50/50-split third row, while hidden cargo storage beneath a reversible cargo-area lid provides additional room for smaller belongings. Heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power tilt-and-telescoping steering column, brushed aluminum trim, ambient LED cabin lighting, and an automatic-dimming frameless rearview mirror help give the interior a genuinely upscale feel without sacrificing everyday usability. Infotainment & Technology A 12.3' HD center display is complemented by a 12.3' HD digital instrument cluster, giving the MDX a modern, information-rich cockpit. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allow compatible phones to connect without a cable, while a wireless charging pad provides another useful everyday convenience. The standard Acura Premium Audio System uses nine speakers, while Bluetooth streaming audio, HD Radio, SiriusXM capability, Amazon Alexa Built-in, HomeLink, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and AcuraLink connected services broaden the MDX's technology suite. Subscription may be required to maintain service. Safety Features AcuraWatch gives the MDX an extensive collection of standard driver-assistance technology, including Collision Mitigation Braking System,
