2007 Acura MDX Review Summary & Specs
Base Sport Utility
All-new, more powerful, more fuel-efficient, more luxurious.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
The Acura MDX is all-new for 2007. It's larger now, and sized right for the job. It's aggressively sporty-looking, it's powerful and its suspension was developed on the Nurburgring, so the sportiness is really there. The interior design is especially zoomy, but not at the expense of function and ease of use. They've nailed it, again.
New Car Test Drive correspondent Jim McCraw performed his test drive of the MDX in the mountains of West Virginia and western Pennsylvania.
