Exploring the Luxury and Power of the Premium Three-Row SUV
The Acura MDX stands as a benchmark in the midsize luxury SUV segment, masterfully blending athletic performance with family-friendly utility. Propelled by a robust 290-horsepower V-6 engine paired with a seamless 10-speed automatic transmission, it delivers an engaging driving dynamic whether you opt for front-wheel drive or Acura’s legendary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). Its exterior styling commands attention with bold Jewel Eye LED headlights and a signature Diamond Pentagon grille. Inside, the cabin offers versatile three-row seating with a multi-functional second row featuring a removable center seat, allowing you to prioritize either passenger capacity or effortless access to the rear. From daily commutes to weekend road trips, this vehicle provides an elevated travel experience built around precision craftsmanship and refined power.
What is the Acura MDX Technology Package?
The Acura MDX Technology Package is a highly sought-after configuration that injects a generous dose of sophisticated innovation, premium comfort, and modern styling into the base vehicle. This package transitions the cabin into a digital hub, highlighting connectivity and acoustic excellence while adding premium materials that rival much more expensive luxury segments. It changes how you interact with your vehicle by adding advanced GPS-linked climate control that automatically adjusts based on the position of the sun, alongside visually stunning cabin enhancements. It is designed specifically for drivers who want cutting-edge driver assistance and luxury convenience without jumping all the way up to the top-tier trims.
Choosing the Acura MDX Technology Package at Southern Acura Newport News awards you with several key upgrades:
- 12.3-inch Infotainment Color Touchscreen: A hyper-responsive central hub featuring integrated Google built-in and Alexa built-in capabilities.
- Bang & Olufsen Premium Audio: A spectacular 19-speaker sound system that fills all three rows with crisp, studio-quality sound.

Acura MDX Entertainment Package
For drivers focused on passenger comfort during long road trips or daily school runs, the Acura MDX Entertainment Package (often paired with technology or advanced trims on select generations) transforms the rear cabin into a mobile theater. It shifts the focus toward rear-seat luxury, ensuring that second- and third-row passengers stay occupied and comfortable over long miles. By integrating independent media controls and superior sound mapping, it eliminates the “are we there yet?” chatter and creates a harmonized cabin environment.
The Entertainment Package focuses heavily on keeping the family engaged with these standout features:
- Rear Entertainment System (RES): Features a brilliant flip-down screen (available in single or wide-screen variations depending on configuration) for watching movies or playing video games.
- Second-Row Command Center: Gives rear passengers independent control over their audio and media sources without distracting the driver.
- Wireless Headphones & Rear Surround Sound: Includes high-quality wireless headsets and optimized speaker placement to deliver theater-like acoustics exclusively to the back rows.
- Heated Second-Row Captain’s Chairs: Elevates passenger comfort significantly during colder winter mornings.
- Integrated Rear Door Sunshades: Keeps harsh sunlight out of passengers’ eyes and reduces screen glare on the go.
- 110-Volt Power Outlet: A standard household-style plug perfect for powering laptops, streaming devices, or gaming consoles.
