Acura completely redesigned the MDX, from its engine to its corners, for 2007. The engine now has some real bite; while Acura stuck with a V6, it upped the size from 3.5 to 3.7 liters, the horsepower from 260 to 300, and the torque from 253 to 275 lb/ft. Acura claims weight reduction and high-flow exhaust systems help to provide tremendous improvements.

In the past, drivers complained about the comfort (or lack thereof) of the seats in the MDX. Acura hopes to quiet these complaints with the 2007 MDX - the second seat is designed to be as supportive as the front two bucket seats. Not much is known about the comfort of the third seat yet, but hopefully, this has been improved as well.

XM Satellite Radio remains a standard feature on all trims, as do leather seats and wood trim. The CD changer takes a variety of different formats, including CD-R/RW, CD-text, MP3, or WMA formats.

All in all, it looks like Acura has listened to its consumers in revamping their mid-size SUV.
