Acura further leverages that sense of “sportiness” with their Active Damper suspension system, which enables the selection of Sport or Comfort modes at the push of a button. Regrettably, Active Damping is only available as part of the Elite trim package.
Decisive but comfortable ride dynamics
Of course, the antipathy of the Sport mode is the Comfort mode, which is the suspension setting I most appreciated. Though even in Comfort mode, the MDX is no marshmallow; the ride remains fairly taut while handling seems every bit as sharp as in Sport mode. Frankly, I never found the need to activate the Sport mode.
MDX Wrap
Acura’s MDX is a sophisticated assimilation of SUV attributes that include sweet accommodations and a sense of purpose and sportiness. While it’s by no means inexpensive, it has always offered decent value in the upscale market.
The base MDX is stickered at $52,690 while my Elite line-topper rang in considerably higher at $62,690.
