Acura MDX Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2000–2006) — First Generation
The first-generation Acura MDX is a five-door SUV for drivers who want extra space without a truck-like ride. This generation set the template for a luxury family hauler with car-like manners.
The Acura MDX engine in this generation is gasoline, so you refuel at a regular pump and get the kind of smooth, quiet pull that suits commuting and loaded family trips. That powertrain uses an automatic transmission, and the drivetrain is set up for a five-door SUV rather than a compact crossover.
