Pros
If you’re looking for a 3-row luxury-crossover SUV with a reputation for reliability, good resale value, premium amenities and strong safety/driver-assist features — all at a price that undercuts European brands, the 2019 Acura MDX checks all the boxes. The hybrid MDX variant boasts higher fuel efficiency and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system.

Cons
The Acura MDX may not have the badge appeal of rivals from brands like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. If you need to seat more than seven passengers or tow over 5,000 pounds, you’re probably better off in a full-size SUV.

Interior Comfort
Acura’s 3-row SUV can seat seven or six depending on how you want it configured. To seat seven, the second row is a 3-across bench. If 6-passenger seating works for your family, you can opt for 2nd-row captain’s chairs, which make the second row more comfortable and allow easier access to the third row. As with most 3-row midsize-crossover SUVs, the last row is best suited for kids, though it’s okay for occasional use by adults, something that can’t be said of the new Lexus RX L and its restrictive third row. The Acura makes better use of its passenger space, while also providing good room for cargo. Unlike some hybrid SUVs, the MDX Sport Hybrid doesn’t sacrifice interior space for its electrified powertrain. Overall fit/finish is very good, and the driver’s seat has above-average levels of comfort with its 14-way-power adjustability and standard Easy-Entry feature that moves the seat back when you exit the vehicle. The infotainment system that bundles audio, climate and other controls takes some work to use, with simple tasks like changing fan speed and mode requiring multiple touches. Our editors are also split on their opinions of the button-operated gear selector.

Favorite Features
ACURAWATCH
All models of the 2019 MDX include a host of active-safety and driver-assistance features known as AcuraWatch. The suite includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

SH-AWD
Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system is a sophisticated system that improves dry-weather handling as well as foul-weather safety. The system continuously divides the engine’s power seamlessly as you drive, sending more to the front when cruising for improved fuel economy, more to the rear to aid acceleration and side-to-side when cornering. For $2,000 the system is a strong value.

Engine & Transmission
Making a strong 290 horsepower is the MDX’s 3.5-liter V6 engine. The standard setup is front-wheel drive with Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive optional on any model. The engine is linked to a standard — and again updated — 9-speed automatic transmission. Unlike last year in which the engine idle start/stop feature was reserved for the Advance package, it’s standard across the lineup for the 2019 Acura MDX. Work has been done to make the restarts quicker, but it’s defeatable if you want to switch off the feature. To further improve fuel economy, Variable Cylinder Management shuts down three of the six cylinders during cruising and deceleration. A front-wheel-drive (FWD) MDX can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while an all-wheel-drive (AWD) model is rated for 5,000 pounds. The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid uses a 3.0-liter V6 combined with an electric motor, routed through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission developed from the NSX supercar’s 9-speed. In the rear on the Sport Hybrid are two electric motors, one for each rear wheel.
