All New Body and Frame
With its curvaceously elegant shape and predatory stance the 2014 Acura MDX rivals any other crossover on the road when it comes to good looks. Featuring a brand new, model specific unibody frame and sheet metal, the MDX boasts a fresh, one of a kind look. Beginning with an aircraft inspired front end, carrying “jewel eye” LED headlamps and beautiful chrome accents and continuing back across the hood and front fenders, the subtle lines of the MDX sizzle with sex appeal. The exterior of this beauty has slimmed down. It is noticeably narrower in size and it has shed an astonishing 275 pounds of gross vehicle weight from the 2013 model.
Luxury Crossover Times Four
The 2014 Acura MDX, available in four different grades: base MDX, Tech, Tech Entertainment, and Advance Entertainment has set the bar higher than ever before in the three row crossover market. Loaded with options, the premium luxury edition Advance Entertainment Package features collision mitigation braking, twelve speaker ELS audio system, HDML wide screen rear entertainment system, lane keeping assist, front and rear parking sensors, Milano perforated premium passenger seating with leather upholstery and ventilated front seats, integrated remote engine start, roof rails, and adaptive cruise control.
Safety First
Proving that Acura is dedicated to improving driver safety the 2014 Acura MDX is equipped with such cutting edge safety features as:
• Lane Departure Warning System (LDW).
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS).
• Forward Collision Warning System (FCW).
• A Blind Spot Information System with wide view cameras.
Collision mitigation braking and adaptive cruise control both use short range radar and ultra-sonic sensors to detect eminent collision danger, coupled with state-of-the-art computer technology to either gradually apply brake pressure or reduce acceleration level accordingly. The LKAS alerts the driver with a gentle nudge of the steering wheel when an unintended lane change has been detected. Front and rear parking sensors provide an audible alert if an obstacle enters the vehicle’s “crunch zone” while it is in motion. A driver’s knee air bag has also been added to the existing array of passenger safety air bags, bringing the total to seven.
It would seem that the beauty of the 2014 Acura MDX 3 row crossover goes clear to the bone. The roomy interior of the MDX is where elegance meets functionality--in four distinctive colors: Parchment, Eucalyptus, Graystone, and Ebony. On first impression the rich Milano leather accented passenger seating and trim say luxury and comfort, but a closer look reveals a cock-pit that is a true pilot’s dream. The push button starting system, less cluttered center stack controls, and deeper floor pan serve to reiterate Acura’s commitment to improve upon an already popular crossover. Second row seating is adjustable; sliding foreword and aft nearly six inches and reclining. Third row accessibility and comfort are improved by the second row’s dual folding function. A wide-view backup camera, tri zone climate control, adjustable steering wheel, and 500+ watt audio system round out this stellar interior environment which provides more than adequate creature comforts, while keeping the overall package simple and driver friendly.
What Makes the 2014 Acura MDX Roll?
Horsepower comes in the form of a 3.5 liter V6 power plant. This single over-head cam, twenty-four valve, direct injected engine produces 290 horsepower and 267 foot pounds of torque. Equipped with a Variable Cylinder Management feature and Variable Valve Timing, this V6 helps the MDX to an impressive fuel efficiency rating of 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, when equipped with a front-wheel drive transmission.
Delivering all those hoof beats to the pavement is a six-speed automatic transmission, available in either Super Handling all-wheel or front-wheel drive, this seamless automatic provides performance shifting with a luxury feel.
The all new 2014 Acura MDX, all the performance and reliability of the time tested and true Acura sedans, in a 3 row, 4-door, crossover SUV. Truly the best of both worlds.
