2016 Acura MDX - Review


On the road, 2016 Acura MDX continues to be one of the more satisfying to drive the three-row crossover, with an interior quiet at highway speeds and athletic surprise when it turned around. The standard 3.5-liter V6 engine does not have a strong low-rpm torque than some rivals turbocharged, but the wind came out a little and you will find that the MDX is still one of the vehicles faster out there. Add it all up and versatile, well made and full Acura feature is arguably the most reasonable choice in the midsize luxury SUV segment. Thus, we give the "A" rating, but know that there are other options out there that may be desirable, if not more reasonable. 2016 Volvo XC90, redesigned in the end, has amazed us with the slick styling, interior plants and a lovely powerful yet fuel-efficient electricity. When the same features, also offers a value that is similar to the MDX. Overhauled 2016 Audi Q7, meanwhile, has a design which is more controllable, but offers a luxury cabin, advanced infotainment interface and turbo-diesel V6 is available.
Other popular picks include the BMW X5, which presents the performance of the most interesting of the bunch, but has little third-row space and a much higher price. Infiniti QX60 is well equipped and spacious, but relatively slow and unexciting driving. We also would be remiss if we did not mention the redesigned 2016 Honda Pilot, which give little to pricier Acura cousin companies, while less expensive and offer more utility. All are worth a look, but well-rounded MDX may represent the best balance of value, utility and luxurious of them all. 2016 Acura MDX is a luxury crossover SUV that seats seven. Standard features include 18-inch, LED light automatic, heated mirrors, power lift-gate, sunroof, rear privacy glass, keyless entry and ignition, heated eight-way electric seat front, memory settings driver, the power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, seats leather, automatic climate control and a tri-zone auto-dimming rearview mirror. Technology highlights include display dashboard twins, camera multi-angle rearview mirror, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, Siri Eyes voice control free for Apple devices compatible sound system of eight speakers with a CD player, interface iPod / USB, Pandora and Aha compatibility and satellite radio ,
The AcuraWatch Plus package adds advanced collision mitigation system with automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, Mitigation Departure Road and adaptive cruise control. MDX Technology (available with or without AcuraWatch Plus package) adds a navigation system, voice control, color driver information center, AcuraLink and 10-speaker surround-sound audio system Acura / ELS with HD radio. Also included with this package are 19-inch alloy wheels, wipers with rain sensor, the rear door keyless entry, GPS-linked and solar-sensing control the climate and the trio of safety systems: lane departure warning, monitoring of blind-spot and forward-collision warning system. Entertainment trim level requires a Technology package and adds a 110-volt electrical outlet, heated rear seats, rear door window glasses and rear seat DVD entertainment system with 9-inch screens and additional speakers. AcuraWatch Plus MDX available for this combination.
Advance trim levels including the contents Technology and package AcuraWatch Plus, and it adds roof rails, parking sensors front and rear, the engine remote start, automatic engine stop-start, side-view mirrors auto-dimming, upgraded leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, the power lumbar for front passenger and second-row heated seats. You can also get a face trim level and Entertainment, which combines the features of each of the two lower trim levels while adding a rear seat entertainment system enhanced with larger 16.2-inch screen, another speaker and HDMI input. 2016 Acura MDX employs a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission standard, such as front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an option. EPA-estimated fuel started on 22 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. Adding Advance package with auto stop-start for the front-wheel-drive MDX bump rating to 23 mpg combined. The AWD models, they return 21 mpg combined in the form of standard and 22 mpg combined with Advance package.
In testing, the 2016 MDX SH-AWD go from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, making it a solid, mid-pack performer. Properly equipped, the MDX can tow up to 5,000 pounds. Standard safety equipment for the 2016 Acura MDX include ABS disc brakes, traction and stability control, front seat side airbags, driver knee airbag, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. A rear-view camera is also standard and AWD models are equipped with a stabilization function for trailer towing. Optional or standard, depending on the trim level, is a blind-spot monitoring, frontal collision warning systems, automatic braking for frontal crash mitigation, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist and Mitigation Departure Road. The latter essentially combines the functions lane-keeping system and a camera-based automatic braking system to help you avoid drifting objects to the roadside.
In Edmunds brake testing, an MDX takes 122 feet to stop from 60 mph, which is a decent stop, but displayed brake fade on the next stop. This can be a problem on the mountain path and value. In government crash tests, the MDX get a perfect five-star overall rating, with five stars each for total safety total frontal impact and side-impact safety. MDX also aced the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash tests, earning a top score of "Good" in all categories and gather additional rating "Advanced" second best for frontal collision mitigation system optional. Acura MDX is a luxury crossover is more functional. The front seats are nicely shaped and supportive even if he does not have the additional adjustment offered by certain competitors in the segment. Second-row seats slide forward and back for added flexibility, giving legroom are generous in their rearmost position. It also shifted forward to access the third row in the press, even though the resulting pass-through rather small - especially compared to the Infiniti QX60. The third row is best suited for children, because only a small, flexible adults will fit back there, but it was actually pretty good for a seven-passenger luxury SUV. If you want something bigger, you have to go for non-luxury models.
Excellent interior storage, with a large cupholders and door bins, plus deep center bin that can hold a small bag or tablet. MDX does not give much room for groceries with all three rows of seats are in use, but fold the rear seats open up a respectable amount of space that is suitable for long road trips. When you fold the second and third row, maximum cargo capacity was better than most midsize crossover two lines, but much less than in the mainstream models such as 2016 Honda Pilot. MDX cabin is meticulously well built with quality materials, but does not have the style and luxurious atmosphere of competitors such as the Lexus RX and Volvo XC60. It just feels less special. There are also several Honda-grade plastics and switch-gear if you look closely. Some un-intuitive controls are also problematic. Push-button gear selector is attracting attention, requiring you to pull a switch to Reverse and press the button for the Park and Drive. Dual-screen infotainment system is also confusing, especially for the audio system. You use the touchscreen lower for many functions, but others such as the media player controls require multi-control button and display top.
Certain climate control are also on the touch screen, so a few keystrokes for things like heated seats that used to only need one. The screen does not offer super-crisp graphics we've come to expect in this class either. MDX is a sweet V6 engine with a nice snap that sounds when you plant your right foot. Nine-speed transmission has a tendency to produce strange tendency inappropriate low speed and gear selection, but that was not the case with the automatic gearbox is a new-for-2016. This seamless, intelligent and has resulted in improved acceleration and fuel economy, despite the stop-start system which is automatically included with the package face can send some shivers rough through the car when it was stopped. We are also not enamored with the optional adaptive cruise control, which is too quick to slam on the brakes, too slow to accelerate again and generally unremarkable in keeping pace set. We know that the Acura MDX rose slightly firmer than some competing crossover on the highway and around town, but most owners probably will not find it objectionable. The overall level of wind and road noise is quite low, the area where the MDX has improved in recent years. If you choose to crowds this luxury Crossover three rows along the winding road, you will be rewarded with responsive steering and handling calm. Version of the all-wheel-drive is very adept at powering out of turns.
