LOS ANGELES: Acura is set to unveil the fourth-generation MDX on Oct 14.
A teaser image and short video of the 3-row luxury SUV prototype released recently highlighted the sharply sculpted beltline running the perimeter of the wider, lower and longer MDX, connecting the Jewel Eye LED headlights at the front to the Chicane LED taillights in the rear.
The original MDX was the industry’s first three-row SUV to be based on a unibody platform, offering superior comfort, space and driving performance than existing truck-based SUVs.
The model earned critical praise, including 2001 North American Truck of the Year and 2001 Motor Trend SUV of the Year awards.
“We’re accelerating Acura’s commitment to Precision Crafted Performance and this fourth-generation MDX is the most ambitious and consequential redesign of an Acura core model in our history,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and Acura brand officer. “This all-new MDX will take us into new territory in terms of performance, prestige and emotional appeal.”
Over the past two decades, cumulative sales have surpassed 1 million units, securing MDX’s place as the best-selling Acura model, accounting for roughly one-third of the brand’s US sales since its launch by Honda's luxury division.
