THERE'S 25 YEARS OF INNOVATION IN EVERY ACURA

Acura is celebrating 25 years in Canada and a quarter century of driving innovation.

When you take the wheel of an Acura, you experience a legacy of precision engineering, outstanding performance and class-leading amenities.

Our commitment to excellence is matched by our commitment to Canadians. We've designed vehicles to meet the specific needs of Canadian drivers and have been manufacturing them in Canada since 1996 ? the first luxury automaker to do so.

As we mark a quarter century in Canada, we invite Canadians to experience 25 years of innovation, and see for themselves that it's an achievement worth celebrating.

MDX A SPORT UTILITY TOUR DE FORCE

The 2012 Acura MDX -- designed to perfection. Behold precision engineering and performance-inspired handling in its most stylish form. The ultimate sport utility vehicle, the MDX raises your expectations and heart rate with ease, as it empowers your every move with incredible power and grace.

EXTERIOR STYLE

STYLE

A modern masterpiece of perfectly designed proportions, the MDX is everything the ultimate sport utility vehicle should be. Its bold grille and chiselled hood accentuate its aggressive aerodynamic body style. A restyled headlamp and taillight design with sculpted front- and rear-bumper treatment enhances its wide confident stance. And from a 360-degree perspective, it embodies everything SUVs of the future should look like.

HIGH-INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) HEADLAMPS

DUAL EXHAUST AND 19-INCH WHEELS

In an MDX, you have the power to illuminate even the darkest roads with high-powered High-Intensity Discharge low-beam headlamps. Producing an intensely brilliant beam of focused light, HID headlamps enhance your ability to identify what's ahead. Plus, with built-in headlamp washers and available auto-levelling front headlamps with the Elite Package, you'll have a bright long-range outlook.

The large-diameter dual-outlet chrome exhaust hints at the powerful presence of the MDX's confidence-inspiring 300-horsepower engine. Plus, with available 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, the only thing you'll notice more than your newfound feel for the road will be the heads that turn as you drive.

LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (LED) TAILLAMPS

POWER FOLDING SIDE MIRRORS

From dawn to dusk, LED taillamps offer a brighter, safer way to let other drivers know you're braking, turning or passing. LED lights are extremely bright, long-lasting and are easier for other drivers to see at a distance, regardless of the outdoor or ambient lighting conditions.

New for 2012, the MDX features power folding side mirrors that make getting into the tightest of parking spots a matter of convenience. With the simple push of a button, your side mirrors fold in to help you glide into a space between two cars or that last open spot in the parking garage.

DESIGN THAT

BOLDLY GOES

INTERIOR TECHNOLOGY

THE FUTURE OF FORM AND FUNCTION

BLUETOOTH?-ENABLED HANDSFREELINKTM

BLUETOOTH-ENABLED AUDIO INTERFACE

Program and link your Bluetooth-enabled wireless device to the MDX's HandsFreeLink mobile phone interface to make, receive and transfer calls without interruption or having to remove your hands from the steering wheel. Say the word and ? provided your programmed mobile device is located inside the MDX cabin ? calling numbers will be displayed, your phone will respond to voice activation and you will hear the caller's voice over the MDX's audio system. What's more, the system recognizes up to 800 verbal commands in either English or French and is capable of seamlessly integrating up to six different compatible phones, turning your MDX into a hub of connectivity.

Here's something you don't hear every day ? all your favourite songs anywhere you want. With the MDX's available Bluetooth-enabled audio interface you can now bring your personal playlist along for the ride and, thanks to the latest in wireless connectivity, leave all those wires at home.

Top of the line never sounded so good. Unlike anything you've ever heard in an SUV, the Acura/ ELS Surround 410-watt Premium Audio System with 10 speakers produces an enriched audio quality that rivals most professional recording studios. With DVD-Audio, AM/FM/XM? tuner, MP3/Windows Media? Audio compatibility, 15 GB hard disk drive (HDD) storage, DTS? and Dolby? Pro LogicTM II, you can experience your favourite music using the format of your choice. What's more, with the MDX's standard XM Satellite Radio tuner, you can subscribe to some of the best music the world has to offer, all from the comfort of your MDX cabin.

Talk about next-generation convenience. Utilizing satellite-linked GPS technology, the MDX can pinpoint your location almost anywhere in North America or access its search directory to help you find directions to those hard-to-find places. The system is equipped with trilingual Voice Recognition software and features real-time directions by voice or by moving-map display. Simply ask the system to show you the most direct route to your destination, offer an alternative route or, with the Zagat? Survey ratings, help you find a restaurant based on your choice of cuisine.

INTERIOR LUXURY

AUTOMATIC HUMIDITY CONTROL

TRI-ZONE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

Another first for the MDX, the automatic humidity control system uses electronic sensors to measure humidity based on cabin conditions. In the event of window-fogging conditions, the MDX compensates even before fogging occurs by automatically activating the heat/defrost mode, adjusting the fan settings and turning the air conditioning on or off.

Optimal cabin comfort is at hand. From cold winter mornings to hot summer nights, the synchronized tri-zone automatic climate control with air-filtration system keeps the zones for the driver, front passenger and 2nd-row passenger all at the desired temperature. And for extra seasonal comfort and luxury, the MDX offers standard heated front seats and heated 2nd-row outboard seats.

VERSATILITY

STEALTH STORAGE

Space is never an issue. With so many innovative cargo and seating configurations, everything from golf clubs to groceries will find a home in the MDX. Featuring a 50/50 split flat-folding 3rd-row bench seat and a 60/40 split folding 2nd-row seat ? versatility abounds. And for securing the occasional larger item, there are four conveniently located cargo area tie-down anchors.

To keep your cabin clean and clutter-free, the MDX interior features a myriad of intelligent hidden-storage solutions. Up front there is a centre console with a spacious compartment to keep smaller items out of sight. This console also has a side storage compartment with a sliding cover. For hiding valuable items, there is a large lockable glove compartment and a concealed cargo well for storage in the back.

SPORTY LEATHER SEATS

Feel the difference ergonomically sculpted seating makes to your drive. From the two front seats to the comfort of the second row, tightly bolstered sumptuous seating with available premium perforated leather trim lends an air of modern distinction to the MDX cabin. Adding to the experience is a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat including power-adjustable lumbar support and an 8-way power-adjustable front seat for the passenger. Plus, there's even a remote-linked 2-position memory system for the driver's seat, steering column, side mirrors, climate control and select audio functions.

LUXURY FOR SEVEN THAT'S MILES AHEAD
