The Acura MDX, frequently seen around Denver really looks the part of a Colorado sport utility vehicle. Whether the MDX appeals for shopping and running errands around town, or mountain excursions (or both), it’s a stylish and functional entrant in the lineup of available Acura models in Denver.

The first-generation Acura MDX arrived at a time when most luxury SUVs still featured body-on-frame construction and the term “crossover” was but a glimmer in some marketer’s eye. At the same time, the midsize MDX bettered other car-based luxury SUVs by offering a standard third row of seats that folded neatly into the cargo floor. It also made no qualms about being a dedicated on-road SUV with a clever all-wheel-drive system designed for tackling inclement weather rather than canyon trails. The original Acura MDX became a favorite among families looking for a comfortable and upscale seven-passenger vehicle.

For the second-generation MDX, Acura maintained the family-friendly packaging but spiced up the styling, performance and handling enhancements. Most significantly, the model has a more powerful V6 and a new all-wheel-drive system called Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. Improvements were also made to the interior, where materials and technology were upgraded to bring the MDX in line with the rest of Acura’s high-tech lineup. 

The Acura MDX was completely redesigned for 2007. As before, there is only one trim level available with several different packages. Standard features include leather seating, a sunroof, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, satellite radio and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Technology, Sport and Entertainment option packages include such items as active damping suspension, Acura’s excellent voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic reporting, a power tailgate, a 10-speaker surround-sound audio system and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system.
