Overview & Reviews

A number of interior, exterior and mechanical updates were made for 2004. The V6 engine added slightly more power and is now rated at 265 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. Outside, you'll find a restyled front fascia, new chrome trim, dual exhaust tips, a new wheel design for Touring models, updated headlights and taillights and a rear wing spoiler. The interior now features trendy brushed metal-look trim for the center stack, leather armrests, auto-on/off headlights, new ambient foot lighting and enhanced functionality of the second-row seat for third-row access. Touring models get a new version of the Bose premium audio system and power lumbar support for the driver seat. Finally, safety has been improved on all MDXs with the addition of side curtain airbags and a tire-pressure monitoring system.

• Room for seven passengers or serious amounts of cargo, gutsy V6 engine, well-balanced suspension, top-rated crash test scores, low price.

• Limited off-road capability, below-average tow rating, ho-hum interior design and materials.

  Extremely solid, well-built, fun to drive SUV. Feels like a car. Memory seats work well given my wife and I both drive it. Very good road trip vehicle with kids.

  Fun to drive Acura - 2004 Acura MDX
  By ldnhpnc - October 23 - 2:00 am

  This is the most pleasurable vehicle to drive that I have ever owned. It handles like a fine European road car on country roads and is sophisticated and smooth on highways. There is a great blend of performance and economy for an SUV that weighs 4500 pounds with all wheel drive.

  A Lot of Bang for the Buck! - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Milt Payton - October 21 - 2:00 am

  My MDX handles extremely well in city traffic. For a large vehicle it is quite nimble. The climate control system is able to keep the vehicle comfortable with the sun roof open. The sound system is great with a killer sub-woofer. It a very convenient SUV to drive with all of the standard features like automatic wipers that turn on and change their speed automatically. The same is true of the lights that come on automatically although the should come on automatically when the windshield wipers are working to enable compliance with our state law. The seats are very comfortable especially on long trips. It has more features that my wifes BMW X5 at a lower cost and better city handling.

  I love it - 2004 Acura MDX
  By T mom - October 13 - 2:00 am

  I looked at MB, BMW, Toyota Sequioa, and bought this because of ease of driving. Luxorious interior. Smooth, quiet ride. Great seating avail. in 3rd row. Big back seat! Great maintenance plan! I love the wood grain dash. I didnt get NAV system, and I wish I would have. Love the DVD/TV though.

  FINALLY, The Near Perfect SUV - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Mother of Kam & Aly - October 8 - 2:00 am

  With a 16 year old high school football player and a carpool of 13 year old girl soccer players, this vehicle is perfect for me! With seating for 7 (including the driver), I always have room for "one more." I traded in my Mercedes SUV for an SUV that drives like a car, is reliable mechanically, is confortable, useful and looks great!

  Great so far - 2004 Acura MDX
  By BAV - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Purchased Sage Brush Pearl w/ touring package 11/03, only 500+ miles so far. Ride and handling are great. Also test drove Murano and it was more fun/sporty but felt MDX was more solid, much nicer interior, and proven long-term reliability, and 2004 changes were right on (side curtain air bags, slight body modifications, interior display). Also thought about 4runner but preferred MDX compromise of eco- friendly V6, great cargo and seating space, luxury options, and safety.

  Ownerscomments on 2004 MDX uality - 2004 Acura MDX
  By M.D. Bloom - October 5 - 2:00 am

  I recently traded a 2003 Acura in for a 2004 Acura because I left a lease for a full purchase. Both of these vehicles are superb in handling and reliability. I traveled 17000 miles in the 2003 and never returned to the dealer except for routine maintenance. These cars surely represent Hondas reputation for quality.

  I love my MDX!! This is my 3rd Acura and I love everything about this car. before purchasing this model, my husband was pushing for the Lexus GX. This car has so many wonderful features, that the Lexus couldnt compete and the price was right!!
