2014 Acura MDX Press Kit
Overview
The 2014 Acura MDX
The all-new 2014 MDX offers even higher levels of luxury comfort and quietness, together with exhilarating dynamic performance, class-leading fuel economy ratings, and advanced safety features, and an even more luxurious, technology-packed and versatile passenger cabin. Developed on an all-new platform that is optimized in every respect for the needs of today's luxury SUV buyers, the 2014 Acura MDX is powered by a new 290-horsepower direct-injected i-VTEC V-6 powertrain with fuel-saving Variable Cylinder Management technology. The new MDX, similar to its flagship sedan counterpart, the 2014 RLX, harnesses a host of Acura signature technologies including AcuraLink™ and Agile Handling Assist to deliver on Acura's "Synergy between Man and Machine" product direction, and the idea of creating vehicles that truly respond to the will of the driver.
