Blockbuster sequels are all about one-upmanship—more explosions mean more popcorn sales and luxury carmakers generally follow Hollywood’s lead. The 2014 Acura MDX is no exception. The third generation of Acura’s popular three-row crossover is here with a trimmer figure, new engine, a host of fresh features and a lower price of entry with the addition of a front-wheel drive model. Unlike the previous two MDXs, the new model is underpinned by a purpose-built platform instead of an existing light-truck chassis. High-strength steel makes up 64 percent of the body, with some aluminum and magnesium sprinkled in to help account for a 275-pound reduction in weight compared to the outgoing vehicle. The vehicle’s narrower dimensions are noticeable in the cabin; it doesn’t quite feel as spacious as before, but instead feels right-sized. The redone interior is spacious, plush, and more user-friendly with a less-cluttered center stack featuring just nine hard buttons and a touch screen. The new MDX delivers in all the key areas.
