The MDX is also offered with collision-mitigation braking, which automatically applies the brakes to prevent or mitigate an impending collision. A forward-collision warning system is also available, and it works by warning the driver of a possible collision with auditory and visual alerts. Optional safety features include lane-departure and blind-spot warning systems. A rearview camera is also standard, and AWD models come with a stabilizing feature for trailer towing. This performance is not as good as others in its class. At our test facility, the MDX required 125 feet to stop from 60 mph. Standard safety equipment for the 2015 Acura MDX includes antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, a driver knee airbag, active front head restraints and traction and stability control. Packed with features and a treat to drive, the 2015 Acura MDX is an easy choice for shoppers seeking a three-row crossover that straddles luxury and value. Also worth a look if you need more cargo or third-row-seat room than the MDX provides is the larger Buick Enclave.īut what we like about this Acura is how it distinguishes itself from the pack by pulling off a neat balancing act: It manages to be both lively and level-headed. The BMW X5 is a better pick for shoppers who place utmost priority on performance, but it's notably costlier than the MDX. Infiniti's QX60 and Lincoln's MKT are impressive alternatives, though neither delivers a driving experience as engaging as the Acura's.
Though undeniably compelling, the MDX isn't the only desirable three-row luxury crossover out this year. Acceleration is brisk, the engine note is pleasing and the crossover feels tight and sporty when tackling turns. Topping it all off is the MDX's thoroughly entertaining disposition.
For example, base models are equipped with LED headlights, heated leather seats and a multi-angle rearview camera. The list of standard amenities is steeped in luxury and includes high-end items that buyers have to pay extra for on rival models. It's always an accommodating companion, thanks to features like a sliding second row of seats that glides forward at the touch of a button to facilitate third-row access.
With the MDX, buyers get a crossover that's livable, luxurious and a whole lot of fun. Plush yet pragmatic, the 2015 Acura MDX embodies the manufacturer's value-oriented philosophy. While costly European nameplates may do a better job of awing the neighbors, this Japanese marque excels at delivering premium quality and features at a relatively reasonable price. The Acura brand offers a sensible take on luxury.
