The vehicle is designed to hold 7 passengers, but the third row seats are small and only seat two, in contrast to the Odyssey and Pilot whose third row holds three passengers. The cargo floor can flip up to provide two additional seats. ĭerived from Honda's Global mid-size platform which underpins cars like the Honda Accord, Acura TL, TSX and Odyssey, it is powered by a J35A3 3.5 L SOHC 24 valve V6 engine with VTEC. In 2003, the vehicle went on sale in Japan and Australia as the Honda MDX sales with Honda badges ended with the introduction of the second generation three years later. In Japan, it was made to replace the Honda Horizon (also based on the Trooper) which was discontinued in 1999. The MDX was introduced on Octo as a 2001 model, replacing the slow-selling U.S.-only body-on-frame SLX, based on the Isuzu Trooper. The Pilot is available with a seven or eight person seating configuration, while the MDX exclusively seats seven, with two seating positions in the third row. The MDX is the first luxury crossover SUV to have standard third-row seating, and shares its platform with the Honda Pilot.
It has ranked as the second-best selling mid-size luxury SUV after the Lexus RX. The alphanumeric moniker stands for "Multi-Dimensional" luxury. The Acura MDX is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by the Japanese automaker Honda under its luxury Acura division since 2000.
