INSPIRED BY THE

STANDARDS OF MANKIND

To build one of the world’s smartest sport utility vehicles, we pushed ego
aside, abandoned the familiar, even the good enough, and reimagined what
an automobile should be. And what it should be is an elegant machine
purposefully designed to encourage your endeavors.

SHAPES OUTCOMES

Next door to MDX development headquarters in Raymond, OH,
is our new state-of-the-art wind tunnel. Hundreds of tests allowed
Acura engineers to exquisitely manage airow over, under and
through the MDX. Aero-sculpted contours, exceptional fuel
efciency and a much quieter ride are the result.

To lessen road, wind and mechanical noise, every
affecting component has been analyzed. More than simply

PLAYING QUIETLY

nullifying sound, the MDX creates an acoustic balance
that hushes a clamorous world.

ACOUSTIC MATERIALS

Noise-dampening materials are
found not only in the roof and body
panels, but also in the wheel wells,

cargo oor and inner fenders.

TRIPLE DOOR SEALS

Three levels of defense—starting
with seals between the door and
fender and ending with seals
between the door and interior—
keep wind at bay.

FREQUENCY CANCELLATION

The wheels, for example, were
stiffened to create a higher
frequency than the tires. The same
principle was applied to the body
panels and subframe.

ACOUSTIC GLASS

The MDX windshield and front side
windows are made of acoustic
glass—a sound-canceling laminate
sandwiched between two other
pieces of glass.

MDX PERFORMANCE

Information Provided by:

EXHILARATION

Compared to the prior generation, a new
chassis and redesigned rear suspension

NEEDN’T BE RESERVED FOR SPORTS CARS

make one of the world’s best-handling luxury
SUVs perform even better. Balanced, poised
(and incredibly fun to drive), the MDX feels
solidly planted in every driving environment.

SUSPENSION

The mounting rigidity of the
suspension and rear suspension

geometry inspire condence in

every driver, helping maintain
vehicle composure even during
hard cornering.

DAMPERS

The Amplitude Reactive Damper
serves a dual purpose: A soft
spring smoothes out small
pavement irregularities like raised

lane markers, while a rmer spring

minimizes body movement.

CHASSIS

Everything about rened

performance starts with the stiff,
lighter chassis. It increases ride
comfort, reduces road noise and
improves steering precision.

NÜRBURGRING

Trips to Germany’s storied,
challenging Nürburgring racetrack
pushed MDX to the limit—and
shaved eight seconds off the
previous MDX lap record.

It captures an explosion and then uses the power for good.

DIRECT GAS INJECTION

Consider it fuel injection perfected.
Direct Gas Injection sends fuel directly
into the cylinder via a multi-hole injector.
The process not only increases power,

but efciency as well, allowing higher

compression and the combustion of a
more precise fuel/air mixture.

VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT

On the freeway at 60 mph, the engine easily
