Celebrating ten years on the market, the Acura MDX shows off 7-passenger utility with premium motoring. Automatic climate control, power tailgate, Bluetooth connectivity and a 7-speaker stereo system is standard on all 2011 MDX models for luxury comfort. The 2011 Acura MDX can be upgraded with a 10-speaker surround sound audio system as well as AcuraLink's Real-Time Traffic and Weather packages. Only available with a 300 horsepower, 3.7 liter V-6 engine, the 2011 Acura MDX is paired with Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. Offering a remarkably sporty yet comfortable ride for a crossover vehicle, Nurburgring-tuned suspension and a 6-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters provides peak control to the driver. Adaptive cruise control, collision migration braking system and a rear-view camera are high-tech safety features optional on the 2011 MDX crossover.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Acura MDX Sport Utility

This 7-seater MDX has a nice array of standard features even at the base level and includes a lengthy options list. There's plenty of room for a family and its gear--and the MDX includes 10 cupholders for just such duty. Fit and finish are excellent across the board including a very quiet cabin. Super Handling all-wheel drive is more for on-pavement performance than off-roading, but for those looking for a minivan or station wagon upgrade, the MDX performs admirably.

What's new for 2011?

Following significant styling revisions last year, the 2011 Acura MDX sees no major changes.

Model Review

The MDX carries a 3.7L V6 VTEC engine that achieves 300 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. This kind of performance does require 91-octane gasoline, but Acura makes up for it with no scheduled tune-ups for 100,000 miles. The MDX is the first Acura to have their new sequential SportShift automatic 6-speed transmission installed.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.
