Among other midsize luxury SUVs, the 2026 Acura MDX takes luxury to the next level while also providing innovative technology, sporty performance, and these five features that make it a clear standout.
5 Features That Make the 2026 Acura MDX Stand Out
1. A Turbocharged V6 Engine
While this edition has two engines to offer, a 3.5-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and a 3.0-liter, also a V6, that produces 355 horsepower, it’s the second engine that steals the show. Not only does the 3.0-liter V6 come paired with an all-wheel-drive system, but it also generates 354 pound-feet of torque for quick acceleration. Also, a quiet-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission comes mated with this engine, and you can also use included paddle shifters with it for a sportier feel.
2. Luxurious and Comfy Seats
This edition’s seats also impress, as 12-way front power sport seats with power lumbar support, three-position driver seat memory, and a heating function come standard. In many upper trims, these seats also have ventilation as well as 16-way adjustability, three-position memory for the front passenger seat, and a 9-way massage function. The second-row seats, which have 4-way adjustability, come with outboard heating in some trims. Folding both rows of rear seats down provides 71.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
3. A Hands-Free Power Liftgate
This SUV’s standard power liftgate is sure to come in handy, as is its programmable opening height, which is perfect for when you need to open it in tight spaces. However, the available hands-free liftgate takes convenience to the next level by allowing you to open it with a simple motion of your foot just below the bumper.
4. A 12.3-Inch Digital Touchscreen
As the widest screen ever found in an Acura, the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen located on the dash provides full-color visuals of streaming videos from smartphones, lets you view multiple angles from behind the vehicle with the included multi-view rear camera, and offers available navigation. When you have an internet data plan, this system connects to the internet via an in-cabin wi-Fi hotspot, and its size perfectly matches the 12.3-inch HD Precision Cockpit Digital Instrument Cluster behind the wheel.
5. The Innovative Traffic Jam Assist
While many driver-assist features come standard with this edition, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Traffic Jam Assist is a clear standout for many reasons.
First, this system aims to reduce driver fatigue during heavy traffic by automatically keeping the MDX distanced from other vehicles in front it. Best of all, it provides gentle steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered.
