This mid-size luxury SUV combines powerful engine options with advanced drivetrain technology to create a driving experience that stands out. Whether you navigate daily commutes through Durham or embark on weekend adventures, the 2026 Acura MDX offers the power and control you need.
Standard 3.5-Liter V6 Engine
The 2026 Acura MDX comes standard with a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower. This i-VTEC powerplant features direct injection technology and an idle stop function that helps improve fuel efficiency during city driving. The engine delivers smooth, responsive acceleration for merging onto highways and confident passing power when you need it most.
Available 3.0-Liter Turbocharged V6 Engine
For drivers who demand more power, the 2026 Acura MDX Type S trim level features a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine that generates an impressive 355 horsepower. This forced-induction powerplant transforms the MDX into a true performance SUV, delivering exhilarating acceleration and robust power throughout the rev range.
The 2026 Acura MDX Type S also receives sport-tuned adaptive suspension with amplitude reactive dampers and air springs at both the front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspension points. This sophisticated setup allows drivers to customize their ride quality while maintaining composed handling during spirited driving.
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive
Acura equips most 2026 Acura MDX trims with the available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. This intelligent system does more than simply send power to all four wheels—it actively distributes torque between the rear wheels to enhance cornering performance and stability.
During cornering, this all-wheel drive system sends more power to the outside rear wheel, helping rotate the vehicle and reducing understeer. This technology improves traction on slippery surfaces while also making the 2026 Acura MDX feel more agile and responsive during everyday driving. The 2026 Acura MDX Base and 2026 Acura MDX Technology Package trims offer front-wheel drive as a standard configuration, with all-wheel drive available as an option.
10-Speed Automatic Transmission
Every 2026 Acura MDX pairs its engine with a refined 10-speed automatic transmission. This gearbox features Sequential SportShift capability and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, giving drivers direct control over gear selection when desired. The Integrated Dynamics System with Individual Mode allows you to customize throttle response, steering weight, and transmission behavior to match your driving preferences.
