Used 2018 Acura MDX for Sale near Lagrange, GA

Introduced in 2001, the Acura MDX is a luxury SUV that has grown family-friendly with redesigns in 2007 and 2014. Following a 2017 facelift, the 2018 MDX sees only minor updates. Last year’s refresh brought an updated diamond pentagon grille, strong L-shaped daytime running lights framing full-LED headlights, and a chrome accented bumper. The sides are sleek, featuring a crisp window arrangement. Rear LED lights and tasteful chrome appliques round out the design. Two new reds join the color palette for 2018, a deep shade called Basque Red Pearl II and a bright one called San Marino Red. The interior is high-quality. The dual-screen infotainment setup has been revamped for 2018 to include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Siri Eyes Free, integrated Pandora and Aha apps, and more. The MDX excels in space utilization. All three rows are comfortable for both short and long trips. Acura employs a longer wheelbase and elongated rear doors to ease third-row entry and exit. The second-row seats slide forward, backward, and fold flat into the floor to improve cargo space. The MDX is motivated by a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine good for 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, along with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Fuel economy stands at 19 mpg city, 27 highway, and 22 combined with FWD, or 18, 26, and 21 with AWD (with premium fuel). The SH-AWD comes paired with start-stop technology that gives city driving a small boost to 19 mpg.

A reversing camera, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking are standard. Optional features like front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera system, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are also available.
