Acura MDX – Best New Luxury SUV: Formula for a luxury SUV: luxury brand, luxury features, comfortable and quiet ride, plenty of power, and painstaking attention to detail. Many of our Best New Luxury SUV contenders had all that covered, but they couldn’t match the Acura MDX’s Super Handling all-wheel-drive system borrowed from the RL sedan. This technology adds an element of safety and control for inclement weather and unexpected handling emergencies, and does so without compromising a comfortable, compliant ride.
