The 2024 Acura MDX offers a fresh option among luxury midsize SUVs. Take a look at how this three-row premium crossover compares to similar vehicles across several key categories.
How Does the 2024 Acura MDX Compare to Competitors?
Power and Performance
The 2024 MDX comes with a 290-hp V6 or a 355-hp turbocharged V6, both with a 10-speed automatic transmission. These choices come out ahead of the other available powertrains in the class. The INFINITI QX60 offers only one option: a 295-hp V6 with a nine-speed automatic. The Cadillac XT5 offers a 235-hp base engine, and its higher-tier powertrain gets 310 hp.
Fuel Economy
The MDX gives you above-average fuel economy of up to 26 highway miles per gallon. In comparison, the Land Rover Discovery provides a max of 24 highway mpg and the 2024 Audi Q8 tops out at about 23 highway mpg.
Interior Space
The MDX is one of the larger midsize luxury SUVs with expansive passenger and cargo space. It seats up to seven, while the XT5 and the BMW X5 are both limited to five passengers. You’ll have more than 71 cubic feet of room for gear in the Acura MDX. The XT5 gives you a total of 63 cubic feet, and the Audi Q7 provides fewer than 70 cubic feet.
Infotainment Tech
You’ll find a generous suite of standard connectivity features in the 2024 MDX. The base model pairs a 12.3-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch driver information screen. The MDX also incorporates a Wi-Fi hotspot, Amazon Alexa, and the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Cadillac XT5 comes with a standard 8-inch touchscreen and 4.2-inch driver information display, while the INFINITI QX60 has a 7-inch digital driver display.
Audio Features
The MDX streams your playlists and podcasts through a nine-speaker system with standard HD and satellite radio, and you can upgrade to a 12-speaker, 16-speaker, or 26-speaker premium ELS audio system. The XT5 has an eight-speaker stereo with satellite radio only or a 14-speaker Bose upgrade.
Driver Assistance and Safety
The MDX provides an extensive list of driver assistance tech. You’ll have standard features you won’t find in other luxury midsize models, such as traffic jam assist and road sign recognition. Both these systems are unavailable in the Cadillac XT5.
You can get road sign recognition as an optional upgrade in the Audi Q7, the QX60 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE, but few other models incorporate a traffic jam assistance feature. The MDX also has a five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
