Acura MDX: Next-Generation Performance and Comfort
The Audi Q7 and Acura MDX are both impressive performance SUVs. But the powerfully reimagined MDX is clearly superior. Its 3.5 liter V-6 engine boasts 290 horsepower3 and is paired to a front double-wishbone suspension, giving you more muscle and control than the Audi Q7. Torque vectoring, exclusive to the available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), lets you channel that power for improved handling in almost any condition. And when you're ready to take manual control, standard paddle shifters put all 10 gear ratios at your fingertips.
The seven-seat Acura MDX with Advance Package also comes with a wealth of premium amenities that you won’t find on the Audi Q7. Front row seats are heated and ventilated. Perforated Milano leather seats throughout the SUV let everyone ride in comfort. Second-row passengers can also enjoy heated outboard seats. And with seven USB ports to the Q7's two, passengers in every row of the MDX can charge electronic devices.5
