  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Acura generally has a strong reputation for reliability, and the 2018 MDX is no exception. Major mechanical issues are uncommon, and the powertrain is robust.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are typical for a luxury SUV. Acura parts and labor can be more expensive than mainstream brands, but less so than some European luxury competitors.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The dual-screen infotainment system can be clunky and distracting to use while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available, which helps, but the native interface feels dated.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The interior is spacious and well-appointed with comfortable seats, especially in the first two rows. Road and wind noise are well-managed, contributing to a pleasant long-distance cruising experience.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The SH-AWD system provides excellent handling and grip, making the MDX feel more agile than its size suggests. The ride can be a bit firm at times, but it contributes to a sporty feel.

2018 Acura MDX Overview

The 2018 Acura MDX is a compelling choice for a three-row luxury SUV, offering a blend of performance, advanced technology, and a premium experience. It caters to families and individuals who appreciate a refined ride, strong safety credentials, and a sophisticated interior.

Highlights

  • Engine: The 2018 MDX is powered by a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces a healthy 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. This powerplant is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission featuring Acura's Sequential SportShift paddle shifters, delivering smooth and responsive acceleration.
  • Safety Features: Acura is renowned for its commitment to safety, and the 2018 MDX is a testament to that. It comes standard with the AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies, which includes:
    • Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™): This system uses radar and camera data to detect potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes to help mitigate or avoid an impact.
    • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): RDM uses a camera to monitor lane markings and can provide steering assistance or gentle braking to help keep the vehicle within its lane if it detects an unintentional lane departure.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): ACC maintains a set speed and automatically adjusts it to keep a pre-set following distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driver fatigue on highways.
    • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): LKAS helps center the vehicle in its detected lane by providing subtle steering inputs.
    • Blind Spot Information System (BSI): BSI alerts the driver to vehicles detected in the blind spot areas to the rear and sides of the vehicle.
    • Rear Cross Traffic Monitor: This system warns the driver of approaching vehicles from either side when backing out of a parking space.
  • Trims: The 2018 MDX is offered in three distinct and well-appointed trims:
    • MDX (Base): Even the entry-level MDX is generously equipped with features like leather seating, heated front seats, a power liftgate, LED headlights, and the comprehensive AcuraWatch™ suite.
    • MDX with Technology Package: This package enhances the MDX with features such as a navigation system, an upgraded ELS Studio® premium audio system, perforated leather seating with contrast stitching, ventilated front seats, and larger alloy wheels.
    • MDX with Advance Package: This top-tier trim adds further luxury and convenience, including heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, a surround-view camera system, and advanced suspension tuning for an even more refined ride.
  • Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD™): Available on all trims, Acura's signature SH-AWD™ system is a major highlight. It not only enhances traction in various conditions but also actively distributes torque to the rear wheels to improve cornering agility and stability, giving the MDX a surprisingly sporty feel for its class.
  • Interior Quality and Versatility: The MDX boasts a well-crafted and spacious interior with high-quality materials. The second row offers good legroom and is adjustable, while the third row, though best suited for children or shorter journeys, provides additional seating capacity. The cargo space is also practical for everyday needs and road trips.

What to Expect

Owning a 2018 Acura MDX typically translates to a dependable and refined ownership experience. Acura vehicles are generally known for their reliability, and the MDX is no exception. Expect routine maintenance such as oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks to be the primary upkeep requirements. The 9-speed automatic transmission generally performs well and is designed for longevity.

Maintenance: Scheduled maintenance will align with Acura's recommended service intervals, often found in the owner's manual. Costs for routine maintenance are generally competitive within the luxury SUV segment. For major repairs, while less common with proper care, parts and labor can be expected to be on par with other premium brands.

Insurance: Insurance premiums for a luxury SUV like the MDX will vary based on your location, driving record, coverage choices, and the vehicle's trim level. However, given its strong safety ratings and the advanced technology it incorporates, it's advisable to obtain insurance quotes early in the consideration process.

Potential Considerations

While the 2018 Acura MDX is a strong contender, there are a few aspects potential buyers should be aware of:

  • Third-Row Space: As with many mid-size SUVs, the third row is best suited for children or occasional use by adults. While functional, it's not as spacious as larger, dedicated three-row SUVs.
  • Infotainment System Responsiveness: Some reviews of the 2018 MDX's infotainment system have noted that it can occasionally feel a bit sluggish or less intuitive compared to some competitors' latest offerings. While generally functional, it might not be the quickest or most modern system available.
  • Engine Power Delivery: While the V6 offers adequate power for most situations, some drivers seeking truly exhilarating acceleration might find it to be competent rather than overtly sporty. The focus is more on smooth, effortless power delivery.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Acura MDX stands out as a well-rounded and highly competent luxury three-row SUV. It successfully balances a comfortable and refined driving experience with impressive safety technology, a practical and upscale interior, and the added confidence of available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™. For buyers prioritizing reliability, advanced safety features, and a premium feel without the ultra-luxury price tag of some competitors, the 2018 MDX presents a sensible and enjoyable option.
