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.

  Totaled 3 month old, bought another - 2004 Acura MDX
  By bmartys - July 31 - 10:00 am

  I totaled our 3 month old MDX at 75mph on the interstate. It flipped end over end twice across the median into oncoming traffic. We opted to get another MDX because I think I would have been dead in anything else even though none of the airbags deployed.

  Drove SUVs for years. Wanted a more "car-like" & better refinement. Drove Infiniti FX...RX 330...Hylander MDX was the best value & refinement for the $$. Turned in my QX4...tired of the bumpy ride & cramped quarters. MDX superior ride...engine...interior..etc. Acuras quality & in my case..."Welcome Home" as I had driven Legends years ago was refreshing!

  My analysis after 2 weeks. - 2004 Acura MDX
  By smc2103 - March 25 - 10:00 am

  Got my 04 MDX about 2 weeks ago. I am getting about 20.5 mpg (mostly highway, some local) on average so far. I am happy with this average as my 96 TL was giving only about 2 miles more. I have no sloshing issue, however the 2K RPM humming sound is there. However, I have learnt to ignore it, and doesnt bother me too much. Other than that really loving the drive! Would have loved Acura to place some light over the coin tray!

  Rpleaced our Explorer - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Karicher - February 22 - 10:00 am

  Safe and fun to drive. Purchased due to reliability, safety ratings, traction and stability control systems. Plenty of interior room while not looking as big from outside.

  Simply awesome..... - 2004 Acura MDX
  By Rizwan Malik - February 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought MDX yesterday and it is simply awesome with tons of safety features, state of the art gadgets and a silky smooth engine. Plenty of room and an axcellent DVD and Navigation system. I feel this SUV is much better than the lexus GX470, BMW X5, VW Touareg and Mercedes ML, as I test drove all of them in one day and Acura was the winner...well done Acura!
