America's Best-Selling Three-Row Luxury SUV
Riding on a performance-focused ultra-rigid platform with double wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear suspension and an Integrated Dynamics System with Individual mode, the 2026 MDX puts the driver first. Inside, the luxurious interior clearly positions the MDX as Acura’s three-row flagship. Offered in six well-equipped model grades, every MDX features impressive equipment.
Alluring Style
The 2026 MDX features Acura’s expressive design language first seen in the Acura Precision Concept. A dynamic Diamond Pentagon grille and long, sculpted hood convey power and presence while a low and wide body with bulging shoulders sets the stage for performance. In profile view, the available 20-inch wheels are pushed to the corners, giving the MDX a long wheelbase and an aggressive stance. The available A-Spec® model pushes MDX style to new heights.
Power and Refinement
For confident power and responsiveness, the MDX features a smooth and refined 3.5‑liter, 290‑horsepower V‑6 coupled with a smart 10‑speed automatic transmission.

Athletic Handling
The MDX features an advanced platform built for high performance, refined ride comfort and exceptional cabin quietness. With a highly rigid structure, the MDX is engineered to support Type S levels of performance, as well as advanced collision protection and pedestrian safety capability.
