How much does the 2023 Acura MDX cost?

In addition, all new MDX SUVs have adaptive cruise control, which helps the SUV maintain a safe distance between itself and the vehicle in front of it.

The Technology comes with front and rear parking sensors, power-folding mirrors, and a navigation system. It also includes a 12-speaker sound system.
