Cons: Unexceptional comfort and space in 2nd and 3rd rows; complicated control layout; steep sticker prices on high-end models[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: MDX gains a new nine-speed automatic transmission and a revised all-wheel drive system for 2016. Rear cross-traffic alert and lane-keep assist are newly available safety features. Other new MDX features include a frameless rearview mirror and Siri Eyes Free functionality for Apple iPhone users. The MDX drives and handles exceptionally well and boasts a quiet, refined cabin. Rear-seat room and comfort are not outstanding, and the control interface has a couple usability issues. Still, this Acura deserves a top spot on your shopping list. The top-line Advance Entertainment version is a bit pricey for what it offers, but the Base and Technology models deliver lots of safety, convenience, and luxury features at reasonable-for-the-class prices.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
