2017 Acura MDX Review - All You Need To Know About Acura MDX

2017 Acura MDX all-wheel drive with the advanced package it just arrived have not been in the car got the key fob me but I do know a little bit about this so I want to give you a quick first take a walk around overview this is not a review whatsoever I've done little to no research except for my own experience with the Acura brand so don't set the bar too high I do know this is a 3.5 litre V6 mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission this has a variable cylinder management which means when you're going to high speeds and drop down from 16 to for something like that 290 horses 280 290 and 276 panel peter torque I also know for a fact we're rolling on 20-inch alloy wheels so it's pretty sweet see what they've done here anything new home this is definitely new check out this I'm serious I have not haven't really seen this card all in fact it arrived while I was gone so I pick up the keys and look at the spec sheet and this is priestly I've never seen this before that is really sharp the jewel I headlights that's a normal thing that looks pretty sharp let's see what's going on the inside we're going to do one of those one takers again so the key fob it's locked unlocked when I do that these open up going to i hope the sun's not too bad with Blair let's see off told this person was he dropped it off pretty good who had your car smell started up switch the camera around cause we're doing one take nothing to highly produced with these first look walk around just arrived that's what this is how my god is that just arrived video Who am I kidding so I don't notice anything new about that this got a nice blue tint to it but that doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary so two screens this is probably touch screen this is touchscreen this is not FM satellite ok climate controls this is all from previous years camera system here so over-the-top one shows camera views and there we go there to see if they have us be back in here no there yes auxiliary USB port always look for that so I can charge my phone when I'm on the go dynamic mode here so what that is oh these are your integrated dynamic system comfort normal and sport driving modes and i can see that here in the instrument cluster him again very soon the top and the ACC and LKS that's adaptive cruise control and Lane Keeping Assist system that's that is also here this is an automatic start/stop button so when you have this engaged it's called auto engine idle stop enabled so it's enabled right now so when you're a stoplight for example it in or you come to a stop the car basically shuts down to save on fuel economy and then fires back up again when you hit the accelerator so that supposed to help their steering wheel mounted controls let me see anything different here nothing really different there's your lane keeping so stays within the lane when you're driving to the serial should shiver or vibrate heated seats this is adaptive cruise control so you can set the distance between you and the car in front of you trip counter bluetooth on this hand left hand side there's where you have your cruise control blind-spot warning over here or lane departure warning right there oops sorry lane departure warning paddle shifters on the side on the steering column steering wheel so it moves there right there so with the advanced we've got one sunroof three-row passenger SUV i just got to return for explorer and they had three row passenger is a three-row a passenger SUV so nice maybe do a little comparison look at some nice leather in here too nice stitching so looks really sharp let's go ahead and go back seat that was kind of my position to drive it move it too much but we have captain's chairs back here so I think this can probably go up a little bit further to fit my size and 511 even so and I still have probably other inch I can move with i have a couple inches right here between my knee the back of the c-4 space see what they have here in the center compartment this slides open no USB port but cup holders here climate controls down below for the middle passengers nice a trim on the doors advisors to open up looks good how easy is it to get in the front seat I say front seat I meant to say backseat but there is your front seat view ok Oh blank handle looking good so far that's kind of skip the backseat for now little awkward when I’m doing a one-handed so switch around here they gotta hold here in the button to open the lift gate I do have some numbers on this super handling all-wheel drive should take it off-road hmm accurate hasn't had any problems with me going off-road the past so here we go back behind his back row seats you're looking at 15 cubic feet of volume right here see what they got the spare compartment that's going to increase your cargo volume if you want to utilize that fold these down to push along let's try something yes ok so now you're looking at 38 cubic feet of volume for storage behind here I know that for a fact you fold down that second row it goes 268 cubic feet of volume clips that function is not available starting at them this is kind of a high spot don't like how high that is well and there is the button to close it alright if you guys are gonna make some noise you put you on camera this is Hamlet who's back here there's max and there's Hershey and there's Hamlet right there hey Amy thanks for making an appearance hersh hersh last we can see other she is here she alright we're worried ok fuel economy 19 city 26 highway is what the estimated fuel economy is you know I’ll do I’ll try it for a week and I’ll give you my numbers can figure out the Sun right now and price point here it is 57 thousand dollars for this 2017 Acura mdx this is the advanced all-wheel drive so I think that's the highest trim level here's my keys also says modern steel metallic for the exterior color looks good also my week with it and I’ll do some research more research on it i don't know I should go off-road capable of it but I'm not sure it's worth it we want to keep that the car is flowing the press vehicles flowing.
