Acura MDX Sport Hybrid vs Acura RLX Sport Hybrid

When I talk to folks about cars and mention certain hybrids, some become disappointed. That’s a dated way of thinking. Sure, if you are a performance enthusiast, the sight of a Toyota Prius does nothing to stir your passion. But there are a growing number of vehicles with hybrid drivetrains that provide solid performance as well as a few extra MPGs.

The 2017 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is one such vehicle. It takes a drivetrain inspired by the Acura NSX hybrid supercar and brings it to a large, three-row SUV that also happens to have sporty driving dynamics. What should stand out to any high-power hybrid skeptic is that the Sport Hybrid is the range-topping version of the 2017 MDX.
