2019 Acura MDX Used Price Estimates

The Acura MDX’s something-for-everyone attributes extend to its road manners. Its standard V6 is a good companion that offers strong acceleration and passing power. Further refinements to the 9-speed automatic continue to quell past criticisms we’ve had about its smoothness. For this 2019 update, Acura has given the MDX the ability to essentially cut out a gear by prioritizing starts in second gear instead. When in Sport mode or demand is needed for quicker acceleration or uphill and towing situations, though, first-gear starts are prioritized. The MDX’s all-wheel-drive (AWD) system is among the more advanced of its kind. Its rear-biased, torque-vectoring setup makes this model feel more athletic than the standard front-wheel-drive (FWD) versions, and would be our recommendation if you live in a cold-weather state where road traction can be compromised. New this year is the availability of an active-damper system that was previously exclusive to the hybrid. Speaking of, the Acura MDX Hybrid Sport is not an oxymoron. Harnessing a V6 engine and three motors -- one in front to help power the front wheels and two in back to assist with rear-wheel torque vectoring -- the system is a technological marvel. It works seamlessly under the skin, resulting in athletic yet more efficient driving manners.

ACURAWATCHAll models of the 2019 MDX include a host of active-safety and driver-assistance features known as AcuraWatch. The suite includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.SH-AWDAcura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system is a sophisticated system that improves dry-weather handling as well as foul-weather safety. The system continuously divides the engine’s power seamlessly as you drive, sending more to the front when cruising for improved fuel economy, more to the rear to aid acceleration and side-to-side when cornering. For $ 2,000 the system is a strong value.

Acura’s 3-row SUV can seat seven or six depending on how you want it configured. To seat seven, the second row is a 3-across bench. If 6-passenger seating works for your family, you can opt for 2nd-row captain’s chairs, which make the second row more comfortable and allow easier access to the third row. As with most 3-row midsize-crossover SUVs, the last row is best suited for kids, though it’s okay for occasional use by adults, something that can’t be said of the new Lexus RX L and its restrictive third row. The Acura makes better use of its passenger space, while also providing good room for cargo. Unlike some hybrid SUVs, the MDX Sport Hybrid doesn’t sacrifice interior space for its electrified powertrain. Overall fit/finish is very good, and the driver’s seat has above-average levels of comfort with its 14-way-power adjustability and standard Easy-Entry feature that moves the seat back when you exit the vehicle. The infotainment system that bundles audio, climate and other controls takes some work to use, with simple tasks like changing fan speed and mode requiring multiple touches. Our editors are also split on their opinions of the button-operated gear selector.

Acura’s new MDX enjoys a good balance of looking elegant yet tough, luxurious yet practical. As with other models from Acura, this flagship SUV recently gained an attractive diamond-pentagon grille, and it’s hard to miss Jewel Eye LED headlights. Roof rails can be had to both toughen up the MDX’s personality and provide additional practicality. Hybrid versions of the MDX look almost identical to the standard version. The new, sportier Acura MDX A-Spec has 20-inch wheels that are a half-inch wider than the standard model, unique front fascia, larger-diameter exhaust finishers, and gloss-black accents.

The 2019 Acura MDX is surprisingly well-equipped out the gate. A standard model comes with the AcuraWatch suite of safety and semi-autonomous driving features, leather interior, power-operated and heated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, power tailgate, power moonroof and the HomeLink garage-door opener. On the audio/entertainment front, the MDX includes an 8-speaker AM/FM/CD system with multiple USB ports and Bluetooth connectivity. The MDX also comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and Siri Eyes Free integration. The front seats benefit from 14-way-power adjustment for driver and 12-way for the passenger. Also appreciated is a power-adjustable steering wheel.

Aside from all-wheel drive, most major options are bundled into packages. Sport Hybrid models start at the Technology package level, which includes navigation, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, 10-speaker ELS premium audio system, perforated leather seats, 20-inch wheels and power-folding side mirrors. The new A-Spec package, not available on the hybrid model, includes features in the Technology package, and adds its own interior and exterior aesthetic upgrades. The top-line Advance package adds premium Milano leather upholstery, the active-damper system, ventilated front seats and heated steering wheel, surround-view camera, and auto-dimming side mirrors. Note that the Advance package also comes standard with 2nd-row bucket seats for total seating capacity of six. If you want a bench and seating for seven, you can order it with the rear-seat entertainment system.

Making a strong 290 horsepower is the MDX’s 3.5-liter V6 engine. The standard setup is front-wheel drive with Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive optional on any model. The engine is linked to a standard -- and again updated -- 9-speed automatic transmission. Unlike last year in which the engine idle start/stop feature was reserved for the Advance package, it’s standard across the lineup for the 2019 Acura MDX. Work has been done to make the restarts quicker, but it’s defeatable if you want to switch off the feature. To further improve fuel economy, Variable Cylinder Management shuts down three of the six cylinders during cruising and deceleration. A front-wheel-drive (FWD) MDX can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while an all-wheel-drive (AWD) model is rated for 5,000 pounds. The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid uses a 3.0-liter V6 combined with an electric motor, routed through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission developed from the NSX supercar's 9-speed. In the rear on the Sport Hybrid are two electric motors, one for each rear wheel. 3.5-liter V6 290 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm 267 lb-ft of torque @ 4,700 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/27 mpg (FWD), 19/26 mpg (AWD), 19/25 mpg (A-Spec) 3.0-liter V6 + electric motors (Sport Hybrid) 321 combined horsepower 289 lb-ft combined torque EPA city/highway fuel economy: 26/27 mpg
