2012 Acura MDX

As a luxury crossover utility, the 2012 Acura MDX puts passenger comfort above rugged off-road ability, but it doesn't completely shut that side of SUV personality out. Its interior, with space for up to seven, is nearly as comfortable and accommodating as those of full-size truck-based SUVs, while on the road it handles better that those other vehicles--in part, thanks to the SH-AWD system which aids stability while also handling light off-road tasks. The MDX also stands out for its superb optional ELS sound system, and for all the active-safety tech that's available in option packages--some of which might help you avoid an accident or reduce stress on the highway.
