2018 Acura MDX interior

Since its introduction in 2001, the Acura MDX has remained a popular pick with car buyers who want to combine the convenience of a three-row vehicle with upscale, luxury features. If you’re thinking about adding a 2018 Acura MDX to your family, here’s what it has to offer in terms of interior amenities.

Seating

Despite three rows of seating that can accommodate up to seven passengers, the Acura MDX's rear bench is a bit of a squeeze compared to the first and second row—making it best-suited for small children or pets.

Heated front seats and leather upholstery are standard, and the

Advance

package added ventilation to the front seats as well. The driver’s seat offered 10-way power-adjustment, and the standard second row bench could be replaced with two plush captain’s chairs—although doing so reduced the seating capacity to six.

Here’s a rundown of the 2018 Acura MDX’s interior dimensions:

Interior features	Dimensions
Total passenger volume	132.7 cubic feet
Front headroom	38.1 inches
Front leg room	41.4 inches
Front shoulder room	61.1 inches
Front hip room	57.5 inches
Second-row headroom	38.3 inches
Second-row legroom	36.6 inches
Second-row shoulder room	59.1 inches
Second-row hip room	57.8 inches
Third-row headroom	35.6 inches
Third-row legroom	28.1 inches

Storage

The 2018 Acura MDX comes with a cargo area measuring 14.9 cubic feet behind its powered tailgate—and with the second and third rows folded flat, that space increases to a more generous 68.4 cubes. Its cargo capacity is a little on the small side when compared with some rivals, but it should be considered spacious enough for daily use—especially when combined with a center console, door slots, and seat back pockets.

Optional secure storage add-ons included a net, tray, or cover to help prevent smaller items from rolling around in the car’s rear.
