Based on various expert reviews, the 2023 MDX turns out to be a comfortable family hauling machine yet delivers laudable performance from dual V6 engine options. However, it also has its downside such as the infotainment software’s complexity and the car's third-row seating, which may be tight for tall folks. Some reviewers have also mentioned a vague brake-pedal feel, which may affect the car's driving experience and characteristics but that doesn’t mean it lags behind its rivals in any way. It is Acura’s shot at staying in the game with its veteran competitors.

If all you need is a three-row luxury midsize SUV that isn't easy to drive, and is loaded with useful and contemporary features, along with plenty of space for both passengers and luggage, the MDX is indeed an ideal choice. The 2023 Acura MDX may lack the opulence and driving ability of its peers, including the Audi Q7 and BMW X5. However, the MDX is inexpensive compared to its European competitors.
