Specs at a Glance
The Acura MDX blends sleek design with family-friendly comfort. It offers a refined, tech-rich driving environment that's great for everyday life and special trips alike. The Technology and Advance trims both offer a lot, so it helps to understand how they differ before you decide.
Performance
Both trims are powered by a 3.5L engine producing 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque and use a 10-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift paddle shifters. The Advance trim raises the towing limit to 5,000 pounds, compared with the Technology's 3,500-pound capacity.
Appearance
The Technology and Advance share several exterior features, including Chicane LED daytime running lights, Jewel Eye LED headlamps, and power-folding heated side mirrors. Exterior details vary a bit - for example, only the Advance includes LED lights on the outer door handles. Inside, the Technology is fitted with Sport seats featuring perforated Milano premium leather, while the Advance upgrades to sport seats with Curvilinear quilting plus perforated Milano premium leather.
Features
Interior amenities and driver-assist systems differ between the two trims. Both trims come with the Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, but the Advance adds conveniences that the Technology does not, such as 3rd-row charging ports and a 10.5-inch head-up display. The Advance also includes a surround-view camera system and low-speed brake control for added driver support. Many shoppers pick the Advance for its extra features, while others find the Technology more practical if they prefer to spend their budget elsewhere.
