Acura introduced the MDX nameplate in its inventory in 2000 when it replaced the body-on-frame SUV SLX that shared its platform with the Isuzu Trooper, and the new model became a hit in the carmaker’s lineup.

Reaching the 4th generation, the MDX became the Acura’s flagship model. The most stylish and performance-oriented SUV in their history, the MDX was built on a completely new platform.

Acura unveiled the 2019 MDX model in late 2018 at the Los Angeles Auto Show and introduced a new A-Spec version for those who expected more from the Premium Japanese SUV.

Acura's SUV flagship has received a new, restyled, look for the 2016 model year. It added luxury features and available Sport Hybrid Super Handling-All Wheel Drive, advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, including automatic emergency braking, as standard features.

Acura introduced the fourth generation of its flagship SUV, the MDX, in 2013 for the 2014 model year, and it was a total makeover compared to its predecessor.

The Acura MDX was already a technologically advanced vehicle, but the Japanese carmaker thought it needed a refresh in 2009, after four years on the market.

Acura introduced the MDX in 2000 as its contender in the premium SUV segment but kept it on the market for only six years until it launched the second generation in 2006.

Acura introduced a facelifted version for the MDX's first generation in 2004, adding slightly more power and an enhanced look for its biggest crossover.

Developed from the ground up as a separate, premium model for the Acura brand, the MDX established a new direction in the automaker's approach to the market.
