2019 Acura MDX vs 2019 Honda Pilot
Serving Auburn, MA
A three-row crossover is perfect for growing families. Many drivers will ultimately be choosing between the 2019 Acura MDX and the 2019 Honda Pilot. Let's take a closer look at how these two models compare.
Performance
Both of these crossover SUVs come standard with a powerful V6 engine. While the 2019 Acura MDX produces 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, the 2019 Honda Pilot develops 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the MDX pack a bit more performance, but it's also the only one of these crossovers to offer a hybrid model. Acura rates the MDX Sport Hybrid's powertrain to develop an impressive 321 horsepower.
Driving Dynamics
Like the 2019 Acura MDX, the 2019 Honda Pilot can be equipped with an AWD system, which is a must for drivers living in snow-prone areas. However, only the MDX offers Acura's famed Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. This sophisticated AWD system even enhances performance on dry roads. When taking curves, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive gives the MDX an especially athletic feel.
Interior
These crossovers are designed with the comfort of your family in mind. Three rows of seats enable multiple passengers to climb aboard. While the 2019 Honda Pilot offers just as much space as the 2019 Acura MDX, it's not as upscale. You'll find a more significant number of premium materials inside of the MDX, including standard leather upholstery. Alcantara-trimmed seats come in the MDX's A-Spec package, which makes the cabin look exceptionally luxurious. Acura's twin-touchscreen infotainment system is another premium feature not available on the new MDX. Tri-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, and LED lighting also come standard on the MDX. These features are only available on the Pilot's upper trims.
While the 2019 Honda Pilot is a reliable family vehicle, it cannot compare to the 2019 Acura MDX. Aside from delivering a more engaging driving experience, the new Acura MDX also boasts a more luxurious interior.
