Acura MDX Interior Amenities

You’ve never seen a battle like this one before. In a comparison between two amazing three-row luxury crossovers, the 2017 Acura MDX vs 2017 Audi Q7 near Fairfax, VA, combat to rank the highest in their segment. After a messy war over advanced amenities, interior space, a powerful engine, and an array of safety features, the 2017 Acura MDX finally came out on top. Pohanka Acura has this luxury crossover in stock today, so visit us after you’ve seen how it demolishes the Audi Q7 in almost every category.

When you set foot in the 2017 Acura MDX, you’ll find yourself immediately comfortable, thanks to available GPS-linked solar-sensing climate control1, but the 2017 Audi Q7 lacks this feature entirely. Though you’ll find only heated seating in the Audi Q7, the Acura MDX offers heated seating plus a ventilation function on higher trim levels. The driver’s seat in the Acura MDX features 10-way power with lumbar support and a 2-driver memory system, while the Audi Q7 only offers an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. You can even opt for available second-row captain’s chairs in the Acura MDX, while the Audi Q7 doesn’t even give you this option in its highest trim levels.

If you compare the cargo capacities in both of these three-row luxury crossovers, you’ll find an enormous difference behind the first, second, and third rows of each cabin. The Acura MDX provides you with 15.8 cubic ft. of space1 behind the third row and a staggering 90.9 cubic ft. of volume1 altogether with both back rows folded flat. The Audi Q7 sadly mopes behind with 14.8 cubic ft. of room2 behind the last row and 71.6 cubic ft. of space2 if you fold down all three rows.

So far, the 2017 Acura MDX vs 2017 Audi Q7 near Fairfax, VA, competition has the Acura MDX in a clear lead, and it’s not even over yet. The Acura MDX boasts a 3.5L V6 base engine that astounds with 27 MPG hwy3. This impressive motor generates 290 horsepower and 267 lb.-ft. of torque and pairs with a 9-speed shiftable automatic transmission, so you have all the power and capability you need to take a drive down Route 66. The Audi Q7, on the other hand, falls behind with only a 2L I-4 engine equipped, which only expels 252 horsepower, but at least has a leg up with 273 lb.-ft. of torque at its disposal. However, this powertrain only produces 25 MPG hwy4, and is disappointingly paired with only an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission.

While the Audi Q7 offers standard airbags5, the Acura MDX goes a step further, placing airbags6 in areas you wouldn’t even expect, like the driver’s knee airbag6. You’ll find that Road Departure Mitigation and Lane Keeping Assist7 are useful systems installed on first trim of the Acura MDX, but is merely optional on the Audi Q7. Braking assist features like the Collision Mitigation Braking SystemTM and adaptive cruise control8 work simultaneously in the Acura MDX to ensure you’re always going the right speed at the right time, but the Audi Q7 only offers these features on higher trim levels.

In our 2017 Acura MDX vs 2017 Audi Q7 near Fairfax, VA, comparison, the Acura MDX is the clear victor beyond all doubt. Pohanka Acura can assist you in scheduling a test drive behind the wheel of this three-row luxury crossover, so come on down to 13911 Lee Jackson Highway in Chantilly, VA.
