It blends precision engineering with modern connectivity and safety, then wraps it all in a premium, driver-focused design. Whether you are comparing third-row comfort, advanced audio, or real-world traction on open prairie highways, the MDX checks the right boxes for local shoppers who want confident performance, practical versatility, and technology that simply works. Our team built this guide to help you quickly understand what sets the 2026 MDX apart, how its trims differ, and why Sioux Falls drivers choose our store for a seamless buying and ownership experience.
The 2026 Acura MDX brings a luxurious, athletic feel to every drive thanks to a standard 290-hp 3.5L V-6 paired with a quick-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and a double-wishbone front suspension tuned for precision. Available SH-AWD® sends power to all four wheels with a rear-biased setup for enhanced cornering and traction, and it unlocks up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity for small campers, cargo trailers, or toys. Drivers who want maximum thrills can opt for the Type S Advance, which upgrades to a 355-hp 3.0L turbo V-6, Brembo front brakes, and an Adaptive Air Suspension with adjustable ride height and exclusive Sport+ and Lift modes via the Integrated Dynamics System. From quick merges onto I-29 to confident passing on two-lane county roads, the MDX feels planted, responsive, and composed, ready to make every mile feel refined and in control.
Step inside the 2026 MDX and you find a cabin that balances premium materials with everyday functionality. The wide panoramic moonroof is standard, creating an open, bright atmosphere. Front and center, the 12.3-inch touchscreen flows cleanly into the dash, complemented by the configurable 12.3-inch Precision Cockpit™ so vital information is exactly where you expect it. With Google built-in, you can say “Hey Google” to set a destination in Google Maps, change cabin temperature, or cue up a playlist without taking your eyes off the road. Audiophiles will appreciate the custom-tuned Bang & Olufsen systems, while families love the second-row design that allows you to remove the middle seat for quick access to the third row. Hidden cargo storage with a reversible smart lid and a near-flat load floor add practical convenience for daily errands and weekend getaways alike.
The MDX is engineered to help keep you aware and confident, starting with AcuraWatch™ on every package. Its advanced suite monitors traffic, helps maintain distance, assists with lane centering, and can alert you to potential hazards. Available parking sensors and the Surround-View Camera System make tight spaces easier, while Low Speed Braking Control can apply the brakes if the system detects an unavoidable low-speed obstacle. On Type S Advance, available Lane Change Collision Mitigation and Front Cross Traffic Warning add an extra layer of situational awareness. It all works together to reduce stress in traffic and support your instincts on busy streets around Sioux Falls.
