2014 Acura MDX Photo Gallery

A lot going on with LEDs, but not the prettiest face. Acura refuses to abandon this grille.

The proportions and character line arching over the front wheel resemble those of the Lincoln MKX.

Even with the fancy headlights, does this look like $50,000?

More distinctive and upscale? Absolutely. More attractive? Only if you have no eye for proportions.

The longer, lower proportions of the new MDX are most evident from the side.

Rear wheel appears undersized, line arching over it not well integrated into the rest of the design.

A much-needed improvement over the 2013, but not a big enough step up from a Kia.

More artful than the MDX's interior. And the wood trim is the real thing.

Flowing symmetrical lines, not over done.

A severe reduction in the center stack's button population might have gone a little too far.

Fairly comfortable, but other Acuras and some competitors offer better front seats.

Comfortably high off the floor, and plenty of legroom if you slide it all the way back.

Not really intended for adults. But not often used for adults anyway.

Cargo space behind the third row about average, but not enough for a traveling family.

Plenty of space for luggage with the third row folded.

An impressive 91 cubic feet of cargo volume with both rows of seats folded.

Smaller engine than last year, but nearly as powerful and much more efficient.

Apparently it was cheaper to slap on a plastic cover than to pretty up this manifold.
