Acura launched its MDX three-row luxury SUV more than 20 years ago, and a redesigned fourth-generation model has arrived for 2022. It features a sleeker design, a more spacious cabin and a new range-topping Type S trim. The improvements go a long way toward revitalizing Acura’s top SUV, but it has to vie for shoppers’ interest against another stalwart, the Audi Q7.
Edmunds’ top-ranked midsize three-row luxury SUV for a few years running, the Q7 has delivered a just-right mix of comfort, utility, build quality and tech features. It’s a classy luxury vehicle that can also ably transport your family and their cargo. So how does the new Acura MDX compare to the segment stalwart? The experts at Edmunds take an in-depth look at these two luxurious family haulers to find out.
