MDX Performance Comes Standard With V6 Power
The 2026 Acura MDX is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 producing 290 horsepower and paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is available on select models, while Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) is available throughout much of the lineup.
Drivers looking for even more performance can step up to the MDX Type S Advance, which uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 producing 355 horsepower.
The 2026 Lexus TX 350 takes a different approach with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 275 horsepower. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations are available.
For drivers who prefer the smooth power delivery and character of a naturally aspirated V6, the MDX offers something the turbocharged four-cylinder TX 350 does not.
