As your trusted Acura authority at Jeffrey Acura, serving powerful communities like Troy, Sterling Heights, and Warren, we know you demand a vehicle that commands the road with athletic precision while accommodating your entire crew.

Interior

Inside the 2026 MDX, you’ll find a meticulously crafted command center built for seven passengers. The cabin is anchored by a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In, providing lag-free access to navigation, media, and Google Assistant without needing to connect your smartphone. Premium refinement is evident in the available curvilinear-quilted Milano leather and authentic open-pore wood trim. For unparalleled comfort, available 16-way adjustable front seats include a nine-way massage function, making long drives between Detroit and Grand Rapids feel effortless. Tri-zone climate control and a panoramic moonroof, standard on every MDX, ensure a luxurious experience for all three rows.

Exterior

The 2026 MDX showcases an aggressive, bold exterior styling that asserts its dominance. The redesigned Diamond Pentagon grille and sleek Jewel Eye® LED headlights give it a sharp, intimidating fascia. Its powerful stance is backed by available 21-inch alloy wheels and the muscular contours of its sheet metal. The performance-focused Type S trim enhances this with a unique front fascia designed to optimize airflow and massive Brembo® front brake calipers. The MDX is a muscular machine that projects confidence, ready to handle Michigan weather while looking sharp, whether it’s parked in the heart of Detroit or a suburb like Troy.

Performance

Performance is at the core of the 2026 MDX. Standard models feature a robust 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 engine paired with a quick-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. For those who demand maximum thrills, the MDX Type S unleashes a monstrous 355-horsepower turbocharged V6, delivering instant, powerful acceleration. Both powertrains are available with the revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), which proactively sends power to the wheels that need it most, giving you tenacious grip and agile, responsive handling in corners. The Type S further boasts an Adaptive Air Suspension, allowing you to raise or lower the ride height for maximum capability or aerodynamics.

Safety Features

Acura’s commitment to safety is absolute, and the 2026 MDX is equipped with the next generation of AcuraWatch™ driver-assistive technologies as standard. This powerful suite includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) and Traffic Jam Assist. New for the Type S Advance is the AcuraWatch 360 system, which adds Cornering Speed Assist and Active Lane Change Assist, providing fighter-jet-like situational awareness.
