The Acura MDX is unchanged for 2011.Much of the fun-to-drive quality relates to Acura's so-called "Super Handling" all-wheel-drive system (SH-AWD). For the money, the 2011 Acura MDX makes a lot of sense. The 2011 Acura MDX is available in one trim level. The Advance package includes all Technology items and adds 19-inch wheels, an adaptive suspension, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot warning system, the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), auto-leveling headlamps, a sport steering wheel and ventilated front seats.
The Entertainment package, which can be added to the Technology or Advanced packages, adds a rear-seat entertainment system and heated second-row seats.
The 2011 Acura MDX is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 that produces 300 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and Acura's
"Super-Handling" all-wheel-drive system are standard.
In Edmunds performance testing, the MDX went from zero to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. When properly equipped, the MDX's maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.
Safety
Standard safety equipment for the 2011 Acura MDX includes antilock disc brakes with brake assist, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, active front head restraints and stability control with a stabilizing feature for trailer towing. The MDX's cabin is a technology-lover's dream. The MDX is pretty spacious for a three-row midsize luxury crossover SUV.
Driving Impressions
For a three-row SUV, the 2011 Acura MDX does a fine job of acting as if it's not one. The MDX is truly one of the most rewarding luxury crossovers to drive.
