It’s difficult to argue with Acuras. My associate Ben Zhang and I can definitely discover things to badger, such as the uncomfortable two-screen infotainment system. However when we came down to the essential things, the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid provided a great benefit. Some vehicle business merely construct a great auto that marks off all packages.

Acura includes high-end to Honda’s currently stupendous engineering and quality. It isn’t Mercedes-level high-end, however it has to do with what you see in BMW and Audi. In my experience, Acura can’t rather match BMW for driving characteristics, and Audi provides some snazzier tech. However those brand names cost more, and it’s not constantly clear it deserves the additional scratch, offered how well-executed Acuras are.

Driving the MDX Sport Hybrid varies from unwinding to stimulating, depending upon how you have actually handled the settings. Ben was especially pleased with the buttery smooth power shipment, something we had actually currently experienced with the NSX supercar. I like the steering, which integrated gentleness at low speeds with accuracy at greater speeds.

The MDX Sport Hybrid is vigorous off the line, and in corners, it shows a rejuvenating absence of body away. It isn’t a cars, however the “Sport” in the name isn’t a ploy. You can have some enjoyable with it.

Otherwise, the automobile is a perfect rural household hauler that will not make moms and dads seem like minivan-piloting schlubs if they wish to delight in date-night at a facility with a valet line. For an oomphy V6, the hybridized MDX drivetrain yields good fuel economy numbers without compromising efficiency: 26 mpg city/27 highway/27 integrated. And the MDX is packed with driver-assist innovations and security functions, under the “AcuraWatch” banner.

The result here is that the 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is well-priced, provides excellent fuel-economy, and will not bore you behind the wheel. At $60,000 fully equipped, it’s a bit expensive, however you’re getting a great deal of vehicle for the cash (and Acuras tend to hold up over the long term).

It’s the believing individual’s mid-size, three-row high-end crossover.
