Tales of the Angry Stoner: “When You Get Dolled Up, Shit Gets Done Right”

As of 8 November 2019, I now have the option of taking the bus, or driving out in MY CAR! Getting to this point was a feat all in itself. I did not think in a month of Sundays that I could even get an affordable car with a low down-payment... So, I woke up on Friday morning, went to the Rick Hendrick’s dealership on the Southside of town JUST FOR A TEST DRIVE and to see what was on the lot to choose from within my price range. As soon as I walked into Hendrick’s, they were right and ready to tell me to throw my $88 Local Monthly bus pass in the trash. I was first pre-approved for a 2016 Honda Civic, but the down payment was 3x what I needed it to be, because you know niggas be broke. Second car they pre-approved me for was a 2010 Kia Rio with a stick. I told him that I’ll end up frying the clutch before I even get to Plaza-Midwood. So, the next pick for pre-approval was a 2007 Acura RDX. I said to myself when he pulled the jeep into the park “That’s a cute little jeep”. So... when I got to the dealership, it was 0930. I left out of the dealership at 1430, in that 2007 Acura RDX. So, after leaving the dealership, I was amazed how the jeep, to which me and Bae named it Christianne Antoinette, has about the same amount of pick-me-up as a Range Rover. Low key, I am scared that I’m gonna get a ticket; how fucking fun this jeep is to drive. 

To the people who think that your credit is gobshite and the only place you’ll be able to get a motorcar is a buy-here-pay-here, sheeeeit! The salesperson, Mr Fisher laid all the laundry on the bed and I laid in it, because I already knew that my credit was bullish and I would’ve thought I would’ve been preapproved for a scooter. Since I have no credit history outwith medical bills being assessed to my credit, Mr Fisher said that buying your first car and being dedicated to paying the lienholder in time is gonna help build a reputable credit history... Plus, had I went to a buy-here-pay-here, I would’ve spent $3,000-$5,000 more on average at the end of my financing term. Plus, they don’t do vehicle inspections, history reports, nor do they make sure that the car has been in a fire, hurricane or a flood. 

Just so you know, this is not a promotional for Hendrick Automotive Group, because if you’re a native Charlottean, half of the populace in Charlotte has bought a car from Hendrick’s. My mother bought her jeep from Hendrick. My aunt (Mother’s sister and grandmother’s sister)  bought her jeep from Hendrick, with the latter buying her jeep from Hendrick Honda in Concord. My aunt bought her last car (which would’ve been my car) from Hendrick Honda in Hickory. It’s always good to go to a reputable dealership, so I said “Why not go to Hendrick’s”?

Acura’…

[officialroyalqueen]

 The 2020 Lincoln Corsair debuted this week at an event ahead of the 2019 New York Auto Show, as the brand’s smallest crossover, a space once occupied by the MKC. But the Corsair is a new car from the ground up and targets an even younger demographic for Lincoln. Standard on all Corsair models is Lincoln’s basic suite of safety features, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams. In addition to the standard kit, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, reverse brake assist, and automatic park assist are optional. The Corsair also comes with phone-as-key technology, enabling owners to keep their key at home and use their smartphone instead. And yes, before you ask, there is a code-enabled entry method on the car’s door panel if your phone dies. The Corsair enters the hottest segment of the SUV market right now, looking to steal customers from competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC, Lexus NX, and Acura RDX. Pricing information is not yet available, but the car goes on sale later this year.

BOLD AND COMFY: ACURA RDX 2019

First thing’s first, the Acura RDX is an ideal crossover and one of the best mid-size SUVs for those who want superior control and an enjoyable ride.

Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine has much more low-end torque than its previous version- V6, giving the new RDX a greater potency. Its swift steering and acute handling make it a capable crossover SUV.

Should I buy the Acura RDX? Competing well with the luxury compact SUVs, the Acura RDX is quite a statement in itself. There are plenty of reasons why one can go for the RDX, including value. This Acura has a lower starting price (base price of $37,300) than several competitors. So, competing with cars like Audi Q5 and considering a less expensive option, one can definitely go with the RDX. It is one of the more attractive vehicles in the small luxury SUV class, and it has one of the quietest, comfiest interiors, too. Its turbo-four engine has more horsepower (272) than many of its competitor’s engines.

The RDX gets slightly better fuel economy than some of its peers, earning 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. You’ll save about $100 per year on gas in the RDX compared to the Audi Q3. However, the RDX will cost you about $150 more per year on gas than the BMW X3 and $100 more than the Audi Q5.

Should I buy the used or new RDX? One can go for a used 2018 or older RDX instead, but you would not get the benefits of the vehicle’s redesign and features. “The 2019 RDX is both sportier and more upscale than the model it replaces Buy Acura RDX new or used car on sale near you from reliable inventories. Check them below.

2019 Acura RDX models Base Model Base model: is well-equipped, having 19-inch wheels, LED headlights, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless ignition and entry, and 12-way power-adjustable and heated front seats.

Also comes standard is the AcuraWatch suite of driver aids (including forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control etc) and an infotainment system that includes the new True Touchpad Interface, a 10.2-inch central display, two USB ports, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and 9-speaker sound system with satellite radio.

The Technology package model The RDX Technology package starts at $40,500. It adds parking sensors, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, two rear-seat USB ports and an upgraded 12-speaker sound system. The RDX with Technology package makes a great choice for most buyers; it adds some descent tech features beyond what comes standard, but it still costs thousands of dollars less than a fully loaded RDX.

The Advance package Starts at $45,400. It is the most feature-packed of all. A hands-free liftgate, upgraded power-adjustable front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a customizable head-up display give it an edge in comfort and convenience. It also has the ELS stereo and ventilated seats from the A-Spec.

The RDX A-Spec The RDX A-Spec has a starting price of $43,500. It adds 20-inch wheels and wider tires, some visual flair via blacked-out trim inside and out, and unique cabin treatment. It looks sporty, but the suspension is the same as that of lesser RDXs, so the A-Spec’s wheels and tires are its sole dynamic differentiator. The A-Spec, though, does get a stunning 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D surround-sound system and ventilated seats.

Is the Acura RDX a reliable car? The RDX still handles winding roads better than many of its competitors, and it absorbs road imperfections with little trouble. The 2019 Acura RDX has earned a reliability rating of 4 out of 5.

We drove a $64,000 Cadillac XT5 and a $47,800 Acura RDX to see which luxury SUV was better — and the winner was obvious, Defence Online

The stalwart Acura RDX.

Matthew DeBord/BI

The Acura RDX is a solid luxury crossover that’s been recently revamped.

The Cadillac XT5 was the brand’s first – and quite successful – effort at launching a new lineup of crossovers.

The vehicles don’t match up exactly, but they are quite similar, and consumers are likely to be comparing them with each other, and with SUVs from Audi, BMW, and Lexus.

The Acura RDX takes the prize in this comparison because it’s both fun to drive and priced to perfection.

Visit Defence Online’s homepage for more stories.

We live in the Golden Age of the luxury crossover SUV. Automakers have been launching them at a furious pace, to capture customers who have abandoned sedans and wagons in droves.

The major players are Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Lexus. But don’t forget about Acura, which has been selling a pair of superb SUVs, the MDX and the RDX, for some time. And don’t overlook Cadillac, which in the past few years has added a total of three crossovers to its lineup.

The impressive Cadillac XT5.

Benjamin Zhang/Defence Online

The first was the XT5. I like this SUV, but I’ve always been an Acura fan. So I thought I’d compare the XT5 with the RDX. Obviously, there are some segmentation questions that arise from such a matchup: the RDX covers both the compact and midsize segments, while the XT5 is intended to be Caddy’s midsize warrior (the XT4 covers the compact/subcompact space, and the XT6 handles three-row midsize duties).

The RDX is also priced significantly lower than the XT5. But segmentation is kind of shaggy these days, as some automakers stick with their smaller lineups and others add new vehicles to dice and slice markets.

Ultimately, I think it’s valid to cross-shop the XT5 with the RDX, thus this comparison. Read on to find out how it went down:

We checked out the all-wheel-drive Cadillac XT5 back in 2017, not long after the SUV was rolled out in 2016.

source

Benjamin Zhang/Defence Online

We also tested the XT5 in both the Northeast and in Florida: the black SUV in the Sunshine State and the white version in the New York metro area.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Transportation Reporter Ben Zhang tried the black XT5, which came with a slightly higher-level trim package and tipped the price scales at about $64,000, while Senior Correspondent Matt DeBord investigated a $58,000 “crystal white” XT5.

The new XT5 is undeniably sharp, but it proves that Caddy is shifting away from its at-time divisive “art and science,” Stealth-fighter design vocabulary toward a more globally appealing approach.

source

Benjamin Zhang/Defence Online

There’s a smooth sweep of lines from front to back, with an integrated spoiler completing the roof line, and a bold – but not too bold – chrome-trimmed angle on the rear windows picked up and extended by the large rear tail lights. A pair of chromed exhaust ports delivers a sporty vibe.

The XT5 was the first new crossover from Caddy to join the stalwart full-size Escalade in the lineup. Cadillac has since unveiled a small XT4 and larger XT6.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

There’s more than cargo space to use the XT5 as an upscale weekend utility vehicle, to send it to the mall to load up on threads and flatscreen TVs, or to take it on a weeklong road trip with a family of five.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

We didn’t enjoy the combination of a 310-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission, even when we put it into manual mode and used the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel and pepped up the driving mode. This bugged us. A premium crossover with a decent-size V6 should have been oomphier.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

We asked Cadillac to explain. A spokesperson told us that Cadillac’s “engineering’s team was aiming to get the best real-world fuel economy and day-to-day usability for buyers in the market segment,” adding that fuel economy ranks really high in owner surveys.”

This confirmed our theory. We didn’t think there was anything wrong with the engine, but we figured that Caddy had gone for MPGs-18 city/26 highway/21 combined-over performance.

The eight-speed shifts tidily, and the XT5 hauls you from 0-60 mph in a Caddy-claimed 6.6 seconds, and it had a reasonably competent all-wheel-drive system that should be able to handle the worst the suburbs throw at it.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The interior of the XT5 is, in a word, fantastic. It’s roomy. It’s luxurious without being too much. It isn’t an orgy of topstitching and bright chrome. The materials are all excellent, premium, supple. The leather feels really good.

source

Benjamin Zhang/Defence Online

The XT5’s panoramic moonroof is a stunner.

source

Benjamin Zhang/Defence Online

The instrument panel is sort of old-school, but the steering wheel — leather-wrapped and wood-trimmed — is thoroughly modern, with buttons to control just about every function on the XT5.

source

Benjamin Zhang/Defence Online

The infotainment system is a standout feature for the XT5.

source

Benjamin Zhang/Defence Online

What makes it so effective is that the touchscreen interface is simple and intuitive; both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available; voice commands work well; the navigation is excellent and well-integrated with OnStar; and wireless 4GLTE connectivity means that an entire car full of people can use their devices on the road. That’s an amazing package.

The Bose audio system is wonderful.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

We’ve sampled all the premium audio systems on the auto market, and while some are more dynamically interesting than Bose, and some really make you feel as if you’re in a rolling concert hall, Bose Surround Sound will please almost any driver or passenger and can handle any type of music, from heavy metal to New Age, pumping it all blissfully through 14 speakers.

It hits a sweet spot. You just can’t find anything to complain about. That’s why it was our Defence Online Car Audio System of the Year in 2017.

On to the Acura RDX, which I tested in an Advance trim level. Sticker price: $47,800 (the base is $37,000, but that’s front-wheel-drive, versus all-wheel-drive for my tester).

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

For many, many Americans, the RDX is their version of a premium wagon and it’s dedicated to upscale family duty. But it also promises zesty performance and plenty of technology, given the typical needs and wants of an Acura enthusiast

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

This new-gen RDX is also taking some design cues from Acura halo supercar, the NSX, which took home Business Insider’s Car of the Year trophy in 2016.

SUV rear ends are usually a weak point, aesthetically, and the RDX’s is no exception. There’s a lot going on back there, what with all the swoops and indents and those crab-pincer tail lights. Bonus: Dual exhaust!

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Our RDX was of the “Super Handling” all-wheel-drive variety, with torque vectoring that sends traction to the wheel that needs it most. This helps the RDX with stable handling and in bad weather and on poor roads.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

There’s no third row of seats, and thanks to the RDX’s larger overall dimensions relative to the previous gen, the cargo space is now a considerable 30 cubic feet. There’s also a power liftgate.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The four-cylinder, 272-horsepower, turbocharged motor is demonstrably torque-happy with 280 pound-feet of pull on tap. It is also not torque-steer-y in any way.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The RDX can serve up a 0-60 mph dash in about six seconds. Fuel economy is about what you’d expect: 21 mpg city/27 highway/23 combined. I drove around for a week on single tank.

The 10-speed automatic transmission, which has four driving modes (Comfort, Snow, Sport + and a default Sport), along with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The leather interior is “Parchment” and almost but not quite as nice as the XT5’s.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The 2019 RDX is bigger than its ancestors. The subtle size increase makes the rear seats notably more comfy for passengers. On a side note, getting in and out of the RDX is a breeze – not something one can say about every luxe SUV.

Both SUVs have panoramic moonroofs.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

I always find the Acura’s driver’s view to be soothing. That’s weird because you’re presented with all kinds of buttons, thumbwheels, and a switch on the RDX’s steering wheel. And although the analog instrument gauges are old-school, the somewhat complicated center display isn’t.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Acura’s new infotainment system is called “True Touchpad,” and it uses a high-res center screen that juts from the dashboard and displays a host of apps, along the map, which is nearly always on view.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Here’s where the magic happens. This touchpad can be used like a trackpad on a laptop, and there are several hard inputs. But you can also simply drop a fingertip to an area of the pad that corresponds to the screen.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

I found the voice-recognition feature to be satisfyingly accurate, and Bluetooth pairing, navigation, and USB/AUX inputs for devices were all successful. There are better infotainment options out there, but given Acura’s history, this new True Touchpad approach has promise. Best of all, once you learn it, you can keep your eyes on the road.

Apple CarPlay is available, but not Android Auto yet.

The ELS Studio 3D audio system is all Acura — specially designed for the brand and outfitted with 16 speakers in the RDX.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The system is spectacular – it won our Defence Online Car Audio System of the Year award for 2018.

And the winner is the Acura RDX!

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

When I reviewed the RDX last year, I swooned. “I’d buy one,” I wrote.

“Seriously, I enjoyed the RDX immensely in the week that I drove it around the Jersey ‘burbs and the mean streets of New York City. But I tend to respond quite favorably to Acuras. For whatever reason, I think they combine a high level of luxury and value with legendary reliability and fun motoring that isn’t too demanding.”

A key differentiator for me between the XT5 and the RDX was the engine. The underpowered V6 on the XT5 that we tested was trumped by the overpowered turbo four on the RDX. The RDX’s power was snappier, and the fuel economy is superior.

The driving dynamics, however, were neck-and-neck. If I had to, I’d give the RDX a slight edge, but around corners, both crossovers are fun to handle.

Acura’s updated infotainment system is a notable improvement over the old setup, but the XT5 has an industry-leading system, so the RDX has a ways to go before it even thinks about knocking off the Caddy on this score.

In terms of interior appointments, the Caddy edges out a victory. But a slight one.

Overall, the Acura RDX wins this comparison because it simply feels more like a well-engineered, premium crossover that makes good on its brand promise. The XT5 is a dandy SUV, and it’s sold quite well since its introduction, giving Caddy an all-important crossover to pit against BMW and Audi.

But the new RDX continues to more than hold its own. It’s also extremely well priced. My tester was more than $10,000 less than the pricier cheaper XT5 trim that we sampled. OK, yes – the XT5 could be classified as more of a midsize luxury crossover, and perhaps we should see how the RDX stacks up against the Caddy XT4 that recently impressed us. But the Acura MDX has three rows, while the XT5 doesn’t (the new XT6 does). The vehicles are also almost exactly the same size (the XT5 is three inches longer).

The bottom line is that the RDX is and has been one of the most appealing offerings in the luxury market, both as an extreme value and as a capable crossover that’s a joy to drive. It’s one of those vehicles that I can recommend almost without reservations.

Drive Fast, Save Cash: The Best Sporty Car Values for 2020 Include These Six Picks

Sports cars are about having fun, feeling the road, and experiencing a connection between driver and machine. Buying one is a choice of passion, value be damned, right?

Well actually, some sports cars can make some sense from a value perspective. IntelliChoice, a part of the MotorTrend group, determines car values by factoring costs like fuel, insurance, repairs, maintenance, financing, state fees, and depreciation. By calculating these expenses over a five-year period, the company ranks cars based on their total ownership cost and overall value. So which new cars are sporty and offer good value? Keep reading.

Looking for Value? Try These Seven Rides Under $30,000

2020 Ford Mustang GT Coupe

America’s original pony car has earned fanfare for its timeless styling, potent V-8 engine, and reasonable pricing. Every year since 2013, the Ford Mustang GT Coupe has won IntelliChoice’s Best Value Performance Car award, a streak that continues in 2020. It holds 57 percent of its value, with a $48,660 five-year ownership cost total. How does the Mustang GT compare to its nemesis, the Chevrolet Camaro SS? The Camaro is more expensive than the Mustang, holding only 51 percent of its value and costing $53,210 over the same period.

2020 Acura RDX

As we found over a year with an RDX in the MotorTrend long-term test fleet, the Acura has quick acceleration and sweet handling, aided by its clever SH-AWD system. For purposes of value the RDX definitely appeals: it wins IntelliChoice’s Best Overall Value Award in its class. Retained value is nearly 49 percent, just about average for the class. However, five-year ownership cost of $47,214 is less than any competitor, aided a bit by low insurance costs.

2020 Porsche 718 GT4 and 718 Spyder

Porsche irked its ardent fans when it switched the Boxster and Cayman from atmospheric flat-sixes to turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Time behind the wheel proved that two fewer pistons didn’t mean any less mid-engine magic—actually, the 718 might provide even more of it depending on the model you pick. Nonetheless, Porsche appeased the purists by fitting a superb flat-six in the range-topping 718 GT4 and Spyder, which tie for IntelliChoice’s Best Value Premium Performance Car award. Credit for that goes in part to class-best retained value of 63 percent.

2020 BMW Z4 sDrive30i

Although the latest Z4 controversially shares its underpinnings with the Toyota Supra, we’ve found the two vehicles to offer entirely unique driving experiences. The BMW wins the Best Value Premium Convertible Award, thanks partially to its 46 percent retained value and $55,707 five-year running cost. In its IntelliChoice class, the four-cylinder Z4’s closest finisher was actually the BMW 230i convertible.

2020 Porsche 911

Porsche’s infamous options list can take the price of its rear-engine icon into supercar territory, but at least the 911’s performance backs that up. So how is the 911 a good value? It resists depreciation just like it does changes in design. According to IntelliChoice, certain 911 variants can hold up to 65 percent of their value over a five-year period, by far the highest in the Luxury Performance Car class. That helps it earn a fourth consecutive win for Best Overall Value in that class; Porsche also wins Highest Retained Value among Premium Brands. You’ll pay dearly just to use the 911—IntelliChoice predicts total ownership costs well over $90,000—but it’ll still be worth plenty if you decide to sell. And, if you love driving, it’s worth every cent. After all, the 911 was MotorTrend’s 2019 Best Driver’s Car.

2020 BMW 230i

Although BMW’s ultimate performance models are stupendously quick, that speed comes through computerized filters that sap communication and feel. In the 230i, it’s the other way around. Its acceleration won’t stretch your cheeks back, but it’s delightfully engaging on a twisty road. The BMW 230i wins IntelliChoice’s Best Overall Value Award for Premium Sporty Coupes, showing class-average value retention of 44 percent, but a class-best five-year ownership cost total of $45,772.

227's™ Facebook Fries!¡' (aka YouTube Chili' NBA) #Nike'Spicy' NBA Finals Trending News! 2018 Spicy' Bugatti Chili' Chiron Spicy' Lego Chili' Technic kit is Chili' amazingly detailed #Walmart'Spicy'Tunes #Nike'Spicy'Tunes Spicy' NBA Mix!

Lego has finally followed up its amazing Porsche 911 GT3 Technic kit with a kit that's arguably more amazing, and certainly has more pieces. It's the 2018 Bugatti Chiron, and the 1/8 scale kit features 3,599 pieces, which is nearly 1,000 more than the 911. Those pieces make up an impressively detailed model just on looks alone. The blocky LED lights up front, the wide light bar at the rear and the trademark horseshoe design elements all translate surprisingly well to the Lego format. The interior has detailed seats and instruments, and there's even some Chiron luggage that fits under the trunk where there exists a unique serial number. But the really impressive stuff is under the plastic skin. Moving piston engines aren't new to Technic, but it is cool to see that Lego managed to create a tiny version of the W16 engine. You can clearly see each bank of narrow angle V8s and watch all the pistons dance. The engine is even hooked up to a real 8-speed sequential transmission. The transmission can be shifted via paddles in the driver's side footwell. The rear wing moves up and down, too, and is lowered for high-speed mode with a key you build out of Lego pieces. You'll want to make sure you have plenty of space on your table top for the finished product, since it's nearly two feet long. And budget plenty of time for assembling those thousands of pieces. But once you're finished, you'll have your own Bugatti Chiron with many of the same functioning features for so much less money. On that topic, the Chiron kit will cost $349.99, which isn't entirely cheap, but it is coming with a lot of parts and functionality. It's available through Lego stores both physical and online right now, and hits other stores on August 1.

I drove a $60,000 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid to see if the fuel-efficient SUV can take on Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. Here’s the verdict., Defence Online

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is a mid-size, three-row crossover SUV whose powertrain is related to the Acura NSX supercar.

Competition is intense in this segment, but Acura has a worthy entrant.

If you want an excellent luxury SUV that’s cheaper than a BMW or Audi, yet has great performance and lots of the tech, the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is worth a look.

Visit Defence Online’s homepage for more stories.

We don’t lack for luxury car brands in this world. But the sheer magnitude of choice can be daunting. So if you’re having a tough time deciding whether it should be BMW or Audi, Mercedes or Lexus, Jaguar or Alfa Romeo, I’m here to help.

Consider Acura – I know I have. I’ve nearly bought an Acura a couple of times, and in the time I’ve been reviewing cars at Defence Online, I’ve driven many and enjoyed them all.

Acura, Honda’s luxury brand, debuted in 1986 and has been producing excellent vehicles ever since. The NSX supercar nabbed our Car of the Year award in 2016, and other Acuras have been finalists. As luxury brands go, Acura takes a lot of agita off the table. If you’re familiar with Honda, you know the company engineers superb cars that have a deserved reputation for reliability.

Acura adds a premium dimension to that, and has always pushed for technical innovation. That’s why I was excited to test the 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, which has a nifty three-electric-motor drivetrain coupled with a bulletproof VS engine.

Read on to learn how it went down:

Here we have the 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid, in a fetching “Canyon Bronze Metallic” paint job. My tester was about $60,000, but the base MDX is $44,000.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The color is nice, but the overall design is pure crossover. Personally, I think the styling is more appealing than the Audi Q7.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The beaklike grille and the large Acura badge have been divisive, but overt time I have grown to kind of like them.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The Acura badge does double duty — it’s an “A” and also a caliper, with the latter stressing the Honda luxury brand’s passion for precision engineering.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

And precision engineered it is. This “Japanese” ride is assembled in Ohio — and assembled beautifully. The LED headlights really slice through the darkness.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid of course falls prey to the design weakness of all crossovers: the backend is dominated by a huge (powered) liftgate.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The integrated spoiler and dual chrome exhaust pipes take some unpleasantness away, however.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

And the tail lights are nicely coordinated with the overall rear design.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The Acura badge could even be called subtle.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Cargo capacity with the third row deployed is typical for the segment, at 15 cubic feet.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Drop the third row, and you more than double that, to about 40 cubic feet. Drop the second row and you’re looking at about 80 cubic feet.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The hybrid system is related to the powertrain in the Acura NSX supercar.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Let’s pop the hood and take a closer look.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The 3.0-liter V6 cranks out 290 horsepower, but the hybrid power plant’s three electric motors brings that to 321 hp. In real life, this crossover feels quite robust, and it can dash to 60 mph in less than six seconds. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission channels the power to the MDX’s all-wheel-driver system.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Let’s slip inside and sample the “Espresso” interior.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The seats are extremely comfortable without being overly smushy, and the moderate bolstering will hold folks in place if the driver opts for spirited motoring.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The front seats are heated and cooled, and the wood trim is downright gorgeous.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The rear captain’s seats are also comfy, and there’s a decent amount of legroom.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The third row is intended for short hops if adults are in the picture, or for smaller passengers if longer journeys are planned.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The interior can get a bit dark …

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

… so the moonroof is a welcome extra.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The rear seats are heated and have their own climate controls.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

I generally find Acuras to be optimized for driving in a way that’s challenged mainly by BMW. The leather-wrapped steering wheel and analog gauges are purposeful.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

The offbeat, pushbutton gear-selector take some getting used to.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

We haven’t been huge fans of Acura’s two-screen infotainment system, but the additional screen does allow you to run the Acura system and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto at the same time.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Infotainment is controlled using a knob and buttons. The system has been updated — we sampled the new version in an RDX crossover — but for this test vehicle, we had to deal with the previous generation.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Even though it isn’t terribly user-friendly, it gets the job done. My test vehicle included Acura’s extraordinary ELS Studio premium audio system, which is among the best in the business.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

Navigation worked superbly, and Bluetooth pairing was a breeze. There are also USB/Aux ports and numerous places in the vehicle to charge up. As you can see, there’s also a CD player!

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

If you like, you can tweak the system to display how power is being routed through the hybrid drivetrain.

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

So why don’t we fire up this luxury hybrid, drive it around, and …

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

… Render a verdict!

source

Matthew DeBord/BI

It’s hard to argue with Acuras. My colleague Ben Zhang and I can certainly find things to pick on, such as the awkward two-screen infotainment system. But when we got down to the important stuff, the Acura MDX Sport Hybrid delivered a fantastic payoff. Some car companies simply build a fine automobile that checks off all the boxes.

Acura adds luxury to Honda’s already stupendous engineering and quality. It isn’t Mercedes-level luxury, but it’s about what you see in BMW and Audi. In my experience, Acura can’t quite match BMW for driving dynamics, and Audi offers some snazzier tech. But those brands cost more, and it’s not always clear it’s worth the extra scratch, given how well-executed Acuras are.

Driving the MDX Sport Hybrid ranges from relaxing to invigorating, depending on how you’ve managed the settings. Ben was particularly impressed with the buttery smooth power delivery, something we’d already experienced with the NSX supercar. I like the steering, which combined gentleness at low speeds with precision at higher velocities.

The MDX Sport Hybrid is brisk off the line, and in corners, it exhibits a refreshing lack of body away. It isn’t a sports car, but the “Sport” in the name isn’t a ruse. You can have some fun with it.

Otherwise, the vehicle is an ideal suburban family hauler that won’t make parents feel like minivan-piloting schlubs if they want to enjoy date-night at an establishment with a valet line. For an oomphy V6, the hybridized MDX drivetrain yields decent fuel economy numbers without sacrificing performance: 26 mpg city/27 highway/27 combined. And the MDX is crammed with driver-assist technologies and safety features, under the “AcuraWatch” banner.

The upshot here is that the 2019 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is well-priced, offers good fuel-economy, and won’t bore you behind the wheel. At $60,000 well-equipped, it’s a bit pricey, but you’re getting a lot of car for the money (and Acuras tend to hold up over the long term).

It’s the thinking person’s mid-size, three-row luxury crossover.
