Acura MDX

Acura’s redesigned 2014 MDX may not look much different than its predecessor, and with only 290 hp from its V-6 engine, it’s down 10 hp from last year. Is this progress? You bet, as it is lighter, quicker, and more fuel efficient than before, while retaining its engaging handling, especially in the case of the torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive model. This is the most fun you can have driving any lux-u-vee with three rows of seats. We only wish it were more interesting in the visual department.
