2020 MDX Exterior
Like other modern Acuras, the MDX gets the brand's Jewel Eye LED headlights and diamond-pentagon grille. It's a handsome and inoffensive mid-size SUV, although it seems primed for the A-Spec package as there's nothing especially remarkable about its lines. Further standard features include a power moonroof, auto high-beams, and a power-operated tailgate. The Technology package also adds 20-inch alloy wheels, LED puddle lights, and power-folding side mirrors, while the A-Spec gets gloss black trim and exclusive front/rear bumpers.

Exterior Colors
Nine total colors are available for the MDX range, but some require a package upgrade. On the standard model, you have immediate access to the following five shades: Platinum Pearl White, Lunar Silver Metallic, Modern Steel Metallic, Majestic Black Pearl ($400), and Performance Red Pearl ($400). Colors requiring a package upgrade are Apex Blue Pearl, Canyon Bronze Metallic, Fathom Blue Pearl, or Gunmetal Metallic. We'd go for one of the more flamboyant shades such as Performance Red Pearl or the Apex Blue Pearl which do a good job of endowing the basic MDX shape with a bit more flair.
