Summer road trips test how much vehicle you really have. Between passengers, packing, and whatever rides on the hitch, the 2026 Acura MDX changes how ambitiously you can plan. At McGrath Acura of Downtown Chicago, this three-row SUV is built for warm-weather itineraries.

Seating for Seven Without the Squeeze

This SUV seats up to seven, and a removable second-row center seat opens an easy path to the third row. You get 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 39.1 with it folded, and up to 95 cubic feet with both rear rows down.

Road Trip Entertainment, Row by Row

A standard panoramic moonroof opens the cabin to summer skies for every passenger aboard. The 12.3-inch color touchscreen pairs wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ with Google built-in, keeping navigation off your phone entirely. Acura MDX Advance and above trims extend the courtesy further with USB-A charging ports in the third row.

Towing Strength for Boats, Campers, and Trailers

A 3.5-liter V6 produces 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Properly equipped SH-AWD® models tow up to 5,000 lbs, covering many pontoon boats, pop-up campers, and utility trailers. Front-wheel-drive models tow up to 3,500 lbs.

Composure From Interstate to Gravel Road

SH-AWD® continuously shifts power to the wheels with the most grip, so rain-soaked highways or gravel campground lanes never change your plans. A quiet cabin and standard tri-zone climate control help keep every row comfortable, making the drive part of the vacation.
