MDX Type S vs. the Luxury SUV Competition

The Acura MDX Type S vs. the Luxury SUV Competition

The Acura MDX Type S is a 3-row luxury SUV that doubles as a high-performance vehicle. There’s nothing quite like it on the market which places it well above the competitors in its class. The experts at Delray Acura are here to show you just what the MDX Type S can do that other luxury SUVs can only dream of achieving.

Unmatched Type S Powertrain

Thanks to Acura’s Type S treatment, this particular MDX model is the fastest yet. It sports a 3.0L V6 Twin Turbo engine capable of 355 horsepower which is around 65 more than all the previous MDXs and with 354 lb-ft of torque. The MDX Type S can reach over 6,000 RPM and comes standard with Super Handling All Wheel Drive which sends roughly 70% of your engine torque to the rear axle, distributing power between the left and right sides as needed for an intuitive drive. With specs like these, it’s easy to forget that the MDX Type S is technically a luxury SUV because no other vehicle in this category comes close to this amount of power.

Built Tougher Than Other SUVs

Not only is the MDX Type S the most powerful, but the amount of care put into its overall build just can’t be beat. The quad exhaust tips are already larger than the average SUV, but it also comes standard with 21” Continental wheels. However, these aren’t just ordinary wheels. They’re self-healing which means that small tears and penetrations are automatically sealed back up due to the nature of the material it’s made of. And of course, no Type S is complete without standard Red Brembo brakes!

Height-adjustable air suspension, adaptive dampers, and dynamic steering all contribute to a fluid and adaptable driving experience that just feels natural. If you were to drive the MDX Type S side-by-side with any other luxury SUV, you’ll likely choose Acura’s champion without a second thought.

A Much More Fun Experience

Every SUV experience should be a fun one no matter how long the drive, and Acura included all kinds of little details that are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face. From startup to powering down, every single action in the MDX Type S gives off a corresponding (and catchy) sound effect. Similarly, both the gauge cluster and infotainment screens show off vivid animations that remind you you’re in a luxury vehicle.

Both the driver and front passenger seats are heated and ventilated, but most importantly, you can enjoy a total of nine massage functions such as:

• Wave
• Shiatsu
• Step
• Awake
• Fusion
• Lower Back
• Upper Back
• Rejuvenation
• Zen

While many luxury SUVs focus on the classy aspect which can be boring to some, the MDX Type S offers a fun and exciting experience for everybody.

Unbeatable Pricing

With all the amazing specs and features that the MDX Type S has to offer, you’ll be surprised to find out that it’s actually cheaper than the competition which makes choosing Acura the most reasonable decision.
