THE EXTREMELY NEW 2014 ACURA MDX

INTRODUCING THE EXTREMELY NEW 2014 MDX.

Information Provided by:

The SUV that set standards for an entire industry has raised them once again.

Reinvention isn’t something we discover. It’s something we create. The ability to push ego aside and begin
again, through the abandonment of what was familiar and maybe even good enough. That was the inspiration

ind our own recreation of the MDX. Its entire soul reimagined. Because if your quest is to build the world’s

beh
smartest luxury SUV for mankind, you have to hold yourself to the standards of mankind. This is the extremely
new 2014 Acura MDX. More than an SUV, it’s a luxury experience made for mankind.

PRESENTING THE MOST COMPELLING MDX YET.

Information Provided by:

The luxury SUV that’s perfectly suited for wherever life takes you.

For the true driving enthusiast, the 2014 Acura MDX presents
something of a puzzle: how can a vehicle so exhilarating to drive
also seat seven? With room for luggage? It’s simple: this is the
SUV that honed its driving characteristics at the Nürburgring,
considered by many as one of the most grueling racetracks in

the world. That’s where Acura engineers refined the 290-hp 3.5-liter
V-6 direct injection engine for exhilarating performance, while also

1

maintaining the ability to provide an estimated 28 mpg highway
with the available front-wheel-drive model. So whether you’re up for
an adventure or off to the corner market, get ready to be impressed.

3

How shall we take this corner? Let us count the ways. With the MDX, you can choose three

Information Provided by:

distinct styles of driving: Comfort, Normal, and Sport. The different settings affect the feel
of the steering and the acceleration. Even the sound of the engine changes to get you in
the mood. For instance: on a long, pleasant cruise? Comfort. Commuting to work? Normal.
An

d as for sport mode? That’s entirely up to you.

Information Provided by:

An SUV that doesn’t handle like an SUV. The combination of seven-passenger seating and crisp handling
is precisely where the MDX shines. The new Agile Handling Assist system uses active braking of individual

ls to help you track through curves with less effort from the driver. The available Super Handling

of power between the front and rear wheels, and also between each of the rear wheels.

the MDX is equipped with a driver’s knee airbag as well as front, side, and side curtain airbags.

The best way to deal with a collision is to never have one. Fortunately,

A vehicle as elegant and sophisticated as the MDX has endured an

Information Provided by:

impressive amount of rough treatment before ever reaching a dealership.
In addition to the fine-tuning performed on the NÜrburgring in Germany,
we also put it through its paces in conditions specifically designed to find
its limits in other ways. These include a split-surface traction test on a

degree grade; a test designed to severely evaluate the abilities of

30­an all-wheel-drive system. The MDX with

passed with aplomb,
while a number of our competitors were simply left at the bottom.
While you may never face the magnitude of obstacles we put the MDX

As much as the MDX is a serious performance vehicle, it’s just as serious

about luxury. So even if the MDX is roughing it, you won’t be. Whether
through rain, sleet, snow, mud, up hill or down vale, all seven of you will
enjoy the capacious seating, tri-zone climate control, and a comfortable
ride delivered by the amplitude reactive dampers.

Information Provided by:

Riding in the MDX is not unlike riding in an executive jet, minus the flight attendant. Traveling in the front of the MDX, the driver’s
seat adjusts 10 ways, and the passenger’s 8 ways, to achieve perfect comfort. A large center console allows for the easy storage,
and hiding, of your valuables. Furthermore, with the available Advance Package, front seats can be individually heated or ventilated
as you desire. There’s available heated seats for second-row passengers, ambient LED lighting throughout the cabin, and there’s
even an available DVD entertainment system with a 16.2” widescreen rear passengers can use to watch an en-route movie.

The all-new design of the 2014 MDX is sleek and muscular, with elements that both enhance the visual impact and contribute

to increased driveability. The new Jewel Eye

LED headlights don’t just look great, they help you see better as well: brighter

than both halogen and HID, LEDs provide a wider beam, and more vivid color visibility. The LED taillights have a new distinctive

e, light up faster and brighter, and last much longer than conventional taillights. The body panels use more high-strength

shap
steel for durability, while the use of lightweight materials like aluminum and magnesium help keep vehicle weight down.

As much time as Acura engineers spent perfecting the performance

When you’re driving, you can generally hear the difference between

Information Provided by:

one road surface and another. But in the MDX, you’ll have to listen
very carefully, because Acura has reduced noise levels in the cabin
to a new low. Special electronics are deployed to cancel unwanted
eng

ine noise, the chassis has been constructed to dramatically seal

out road sounds, underbody panels are outfitted with a noise-reducing
liner, and even the windshield and front window glass on some
models are designed to reduce outside noise from getting in. All the

ter to immerse yourself in the glorious sounds emanating from

the exclusive MDX ELS audio system.

As much as we resculpted the lines of the new MDX, we also paid close attention to its stance.

Information Provided by:

The wheels have been pushed closer to the corners for better control and a roomier interior.
The vehicle’s wide shoulders contribute to more space inside. The chassis has been lowered
for better aerodynamics. In addition to all these rational reasons for the changes, there’s also
the in

tangible benefit of just looking more aggressive.
