Acura's reworked 2017 MDX three-row luxury SUV increases its entry price by $935 to $43,950 when it goes on sale on June 22.
Acura hasn't announced pricing for the hybrid MDX that will go on sale later this year as the third hybrid Acura model along with the NSX and RLX. The MDX Sport Hybrid will use a three-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain with two electric motors providing power to the rear wheels.

In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards.
