NEW YORK (Mar. 23, 2016) – Acura today unveiled the restyled and refreshed
2017 MDX luxury SUV featuring bold new styling, new luxury features and avai
lable Sport Hybrid Super Handling-All Wheel Drive? (SH-AWD?) powertrain tech
nology. The 2017 Acura MDX will also offer AcuraWatch? as standard equipment
on all grades, making MDX the first luxury SUV in its class to offer these
advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, including automatic emerg
ency braking, as standard equipment. The 2017 MDX is slated to go on sale at
Acura dealerships nationwide this summer and will be joined by the MDX Spor
t Hybrid later in the year.
Showcasing the new face of Acura, the restyled 2017 MDX is highlighted by th
e bold and distinctive new diamond pentagon grille, first seen on the Acura
Precision Concept that debuted at the North American International Auto Show
in January. The new Acura grille is integrated with a more sharply sculpted
hood, front fascia and front fenders coupled with new LED fog lights and re
styled Jewel Eye? headlights, which enhance the MDX’s distinctive and sport
ing demeanor. A new chrome rocker panel design adds an element of contrast t
o the MDX’s profile, while a revised rear bumper, body colored skid garnish
and the addition of twin tailpipes further emphasizes the performance chara
cter of the 2017 Acura MDX.
“Upping the performance pedigree of the MDX with bold styling, our exclusiv
e Sport Hybrid powertrain and the standard application of AcuraWatch technol
ogies that many in the industry refer to as semi-autonomous, represents a ma
jor injection of Acura's Precision Crafted Performance DNA,” said John Mend
el, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “These chang
es will continue to advance MDX’s competitiveness and its legacy as the bes
t-selling three-row luxury SUV of all time.”
All 2017 MDX models benefit from increased standard luxury and technology fe
atures, including an Electric Parking Brake with Automatic Brake Hold, Auto
High Beam headlights, SiriusXM Radio? 2.0 and four 2.5-amp USB charging port
s. Technology and Advance packages add Bi-Directional Keyless Remote Engine
Start, two new 20-inch wheel and tire options, power folding side mirrors, a
nd HD Traffic. In addition to these features, Advance grades add LED fog lig
hts, genuine Olive Ash Burl or Black Limba wood interior trim, a heated stee
ring wheel and Surround-View Camera System with six selectable viewing angle
s. Advance models can also be equipped with two second-row captain’s chairs
and a center console with two additional USB ports, replacing the three-per
son second-row seating found on lower grades. An ultra-widescreen Rear Enter
tainment System is also available on models with the Advance ENT Package.
MDX Sport Hybrid
The 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid is the third model to feature Acura’s innovative
three-motor Sport Hybrid SH-AWD powertrain, joining the Acura NSX supercar a
nd RLX flagship sedan to deliver the ultimate in power and control. The 2017
MDX Sport Hybrid is powered by a 3.0-liter DOHC V-6 engine with Variable Cy
linder Management? (VCM?) mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission (7DCT)
with an integrated electric motor powering the front wheels, and a Twin Mot
or Unit with two electric motors providing power to the rear wheels. Additio
nally, the system delivers electrified torque vectoring for improved straigh
t line performance and cornering precision in combination with all-wheel-dri
ve power application. Peak powertrain output of 325 horsepower is up 35 hors
epower over the non-hybrid model. The MDX Sport Hybrid is anticipated to rec
eive EPA fuel economy ratings of 25/26/26 (city/highway/combined), an estima
ted 7-mpg city fuel economy rating increase over the (non-hybrid) MDX with S
H-AWD.
The 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid will be available with Technology and Advance pack
ages. Both add a new Active Sport Suspension that delivers improved ride qua
lity, handling performance and is integrated with the Integrated Dynamics Sy
stem featuring the dynamic modes of Comfort, Normal and Sport, and exclusive
to Sport Hybrid models, a new Sport+ mode.
AcuraWatchTM Standard
All 2017 MDX models receive the AcuraWatch suite of advanced safety and driv
er-assistive technology as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigatio
n Braking System? (CMBS?) with automatic emergency braking, Lane Departure W
arning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), A
daptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow (LSF) and Road Departure
Mitigation (RDM). AcuraWatch uses a millimeter wave radar and monocular came
ra sensing technology to detect other vehicles as well as lane markings and
can help intervene to prevent or mitigate the severity of a collision. Moreo
ver, with Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and Lane Keeping Ass
ist, AcuraWatch can significantly decrease the driver’s workload during fre
eway cruising by maintaining a set speed and following interval, initiating
both braking and throttle inputs, and adding steering input to help the driv
er maintain their position in the detected lane.
The Acura MDX is the best-selling three-row luxury SUV of all time and Acura
’s best-selling SUV, with sales topping 50,000 units in each of the past th
ree years. The 2017 MDX was designed by the Acura Design Studio in Torrance,
Calif., developed and engineered at the R&D center in Raymond, Ohio, and wi
ll continue to be produced at the company’s Lincoln, Ala. auto plant using
domestic and globally sourced parts. In early 2017, an additional production
source for MDX will be added at the East Liberty, Ohio auto plant. | a********2 发帖数: 2561 | | i****x 发帖数: 17565 | 3 我滴天
