Acura ushers in a new design language with 2017 MDX (pictures)

The MDX becomes the third Acura model to pick up the company's three-motor hybrid system.

Its new design language comes directly from the Acura Precision Concept shown in January at the Detroit Auto Show.

One of the MDX's most important updates is the inclusion of AcuraWatch (Acura's suite of passive and active safety equipment) on all trim levels as standard equipment.
