Acura MDX Performance Overview
Acura’s three-row performance story spans 2001 to 2025, and across 33 verified tests it shows a steady move from mid-8-second launches to low-5-second acceleration. The YD1 generation (2001–2006) used naturally aspirated J35 V6 power rated at 240–260 hp, with early results ranging from 8.4 seconds to 60 mph for the 2001 Touring w/Nav to a quicker 7.6-second run for that same trim in another test. YD2 (2007–2013) brought the 300-hp J37A1 V6 and lowered the benchmark to 7.0 seconds in the 2007 SH-AWD Sport & Entertainment Package, then 6.6 seconds in the 2010 SH-AWD Advance & Entertainment Package.
The YD3/YD4 era (2014–2020) widened the formula. Alongside 290-hp gasoline V6 models, Acura added a hybrid variant, and performance continued to improve from 6.4 seconds in the 2014 SH-AWD Advance & Entertainment Package to 5.9 seconds in the 2016 version and 5.7 seconds in the 2017 Sport Hybrid SH-AWD Technology Package.
Today’s YD8 generation (2022–present) pairs a 290-hp naturally aspirated V6 or 355-hp turbocharged J30AC V6 with the quickest MDX results yet. The current peak remains the 2024 SH-AWD Type S Advance at 5.4 seconds to 60 mph and a class-best-for-this-nameplate 13.9 seconds @ 100 mph in the quarter-mile.

How we verify Acura MDX performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Acura MDX trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
