SUV Comparison: Power and Performance

The Acura MDX might provide seating for seven across three spacious rows, but it still offers fleet-footed performance and effortless cruising when you put your foot down. All models fit a 3.5L V6 that thoroughly outperforms the Audi Q7’s outdated four-cylinder.

• Acura MDX: A 3.5L V6 makes up to 290 hp.
• Audi Q7: A 2.0L four-cylinder makes up to just 248 hp.

The Acura MDX is also significantly lighter, with the standard model coming in at a curb weight of just 4,032 lbs. vs. a ponderous 4,927 lbs. with the Audi Q7.

MPG Ratings & Fuel Economy

It would be easy for Acura to fit a thunderously powerful engine that delivers exceptional performance without considering efficiency scores. Instead, they’ve equipped the new MDX with cutting-edge powertrain technology, including a sophisticated 9-speed automatic transmission to achieve:

• Up to an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway (base trim level).**

Despite offering less power, the Audi Q7’s 8-speed automatic transmission fails to match those ratings. Standard models make:

• Up to an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.

SUV Comparison: Safety Technology

The Acura MDX provides state of the art safety as standard to ensure peace of mind whether you’re in the city or on the highway. With the Audi Q7, the protection you deserve is going to come at a premium.
