Even as gas prices rise and truck and SUV sales shrink, Acura is going against conventional wisdom and launching an all-new version of its MDX. Acura figures the luxury midsize SUV category will grow 26 percent in the next five years and aims to be ready with its new truck.

The new MDX has crisper sheetmetal and a more driver-oriented interior. Acura officials said they were going for a sportier looking-and driving-MDX.

That starts with the new 3.7-liter V6 powering the new MDX. Horsepower is up 40 to 300 and the engine produces 275 lb ft of torque, up 25 lb ft. It is mated to a 5-speed sequential gearbox.
Three option packages will be available when the car is on sale in a month or so and can be mixed and matched. The Sport package has active dampers, high-zoot leather and alloy wheels. The Technology package includes DVD Nav system with real-time traffic updates, rearview camera, and automatic climate control. The Entertainment package has a rear-entertainment system, power tailgate and heated second row seats.

Prices aren't set in stone yet, but Acura is figuring on $41,000-$48,000.

at least at one point it WAS a nice looking vehicle.

 

[Maximus96]

i think it looks nice, nicer than the current ones. so is the RDX bigger or smaller than the mdx?

looks like a hybrid between the lexus RX and a BMW X5

I agree... this redesign is pretty ugly... I can only imagine what the rear is going to look like from that.

That is something straight out of the Doge play-books. It looks like a stretched X3 with a huge chrome grill.

I see a major refreshening coming in 2009 MY.

We like our 04 CR-V EX but the new GPS and XM Radio options might be the deal maker. Its touch and go between he new MDX and CR-V.

Ugghh... that redesign is hideous.

Some friends of mine have an 04 MDX, and I drove it a couple of hours on a road trip we took a bit ago. I was impressed by the luxury, ride, and styling, but the seats are way too firm and unsupportive, and the handling is IMO very uncertain on the highway.

i :heart: the redesign, it looks good. my coworker has a deposit on it, can't wait to drive this landboat.

exterior looks like it's designed by kia. interior is decent and sharp, though.
