Overview

Cars like the 2019 Acura MDX Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The MDX hybrid uses its 3.0L V6 engine and a 1.3-kWh battery pack to produce 321 horsepower and 289 lb-ft of torque. This gives the MDX Hybrid a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2019 MDX hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 27 MPG. As part of the midsize SUV, the MDX hybrid competes with the Lexus RX 450hL, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport P400 HST SUV. It offers 2 trims, starting off at MSRP $52,800.

Buying Advice

With only 2 trim levels to pick from, buyers can pick either of them when purchasing their 2019 Acura MDX hybrid, but our recommendation is the Advance package. It's considerably more expensive but considering it offers more standard features, it's well worth the money.
