With the recent facelift, 2018 Acura MDX will surely continue to be one of the most attractive models in the class of mid-size crossovers. This model from Honda’s luxury division is present for about 17 years. Original model came in 2000, and we have seen three generations of it so far. The third generation came in 2014, and the company already did first update last year. This refresh included several changes, but most notable is the new front end, which features a completely new grille. Besides visual update, Honda also introduced some new standard features. So, if we consider this recent facelift, it is pretty much for sure that 2018 MDX will come without bigger changes. We expect its arrival late this year.
