2026 Acura Mdx in North Haven, CT - $55,855

Building on the refreshed and boldly restyled 2017 MDX SUV, Acura introduces the innovative three-motor MDX Sport Hybrid with Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD™) powertrain technology. The 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid is Acura's first-ever hybrid SUV and the technological flagship of the Acura SUV lineup. The MDX Sport Hybrid takes full advantage of the immediate, high-torque performance of its three powerful electric motors, along with the always-on capabilities of electric torque vectoring, to substantially improve fuel efficiency and expand dynamic performance for the luxury SUV customers' everyday driving needs – all without sacrifice to interior space or cargo volume.

Offered in two trim levels - the MDX with Technology Package and the MDX with Advance Package – both grades have exclusive interior trim and the Advance package features wood interior accents. The MDX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD with the Technology Package includes versatile seating for seven passengers, while the Advance Package features a six-passenger interior with second-row captain's chairs and large second-row center console in place of a three-person bench seat.

The powertrain consists of the following components: 3.0L V6 gasoline engine, a front drive electric motor, a rear twin electric motor unit, and a 1.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Torque is communicated to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission (7DCT) and the automaker’s legendary all-wheel drive system. Unlike a conventional automatic transmission, the DCT offers ultra-quick gear changes and operates without a torque converter, significantly improving efficiency. The 7DCT can operate in fully automatic mode, or it can be shifted manually via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

Additionally, the MDX Sport Hybrid's electric SH-AWD operates independent of the gasoline engine; as the two rear-mounted electric motors dynamically apportion both positive and negative torque directly to the rear wheels. This system provides for dynamic, immediate and always-on torque vectoring capabilities while eliminating the weight and energy losses associated with a conventional driveshaft and differential mechanism. Since it doesn't rely on engine torque, the electric SH-AWD can create a larger torque difference between the left and right rear wheels, at small throttle applications, and at low engine speeds or when decelerating. This substantially magnifies the positive handling benefits of SH-AWD across a much wider range of driving conditions.

Control hardware for the MDX Sport Hybrid utilizes the expanded-range Integrated Dynamics System with new SPORT+ mode that engages with numerous different dynamic systems within the vehicle, including its electric motors, throttle, steering, transmission and Active Dampers, to provide the driver with an expanded range of selectable performance characteristics to suit their varied driving needs and desires.
