Acura's luxury sport utility vehicle has more safety features and a fresh styling update for 2004. The popular SUV is now quite a bit better than before, something Acura clearly wanted to address to keep the buyers rolling in.

The changes this year also include additional horsepower and more torque. Inside, the 2004 model now has standard side-curtain air bags, a tire-pressure monitoring system, a power-adjustable lumbar support, new Bose tweeters and 40% more room in the second row slide.

Available Models
The 2004 Acura MDX is offered in two model trims: base and Touring.

Interior Features
The four-door Acura MDX is quite roomy on the inside. It has three rows of seats and will hold up to seven passengers with ease. The second and third row seats both fold flat to the floor to provide more capacity.

Standard with the base trim are front and rear air conditioning with front and rear automatic climate controls, a tilt leather-wrapped steering with radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery and heated front bucket seats. Touring models add things like a memory system (driver seat, mirrors) and a Bose AM/FM/cassette player with in-dash 6-disc CD changer.

If you really want decadence, all you need to do is grab some items from the options list. For entertainment, there's a rear-seat DVD system. There's also an advanced navigation system, which comes with a built-in rear camera that is activated when the MDX is put into reverse.

Exterior Features
New projector-style headlights and dual exhaust outlets are part of the exterior renovation of the 2004 Acura MDX.

Performance
The 2004 Acura MDX uses a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 265 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 253 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm. It is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The MDX is also fairly efficient, with a fuel rating of 17/23 mpg (city/highway).

For stability, the 2004 Acura MDX is equipped with a Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system, which detects impending oversteer or understeer. VSA then automatically applies braking to the appropriate wheel to help bring the car back to its intended course.

Also standard is an all-wheel drive configuration called the Variable Torque Management 4-Wheel-Drive (VTM-4) system. It reroutes torque to the wheels that need in most, depending on the situation.

Safety and Security
The newly standard curtain side airbags are placed in all three rows. They are designed to deploy in both side impacts and rollovers.Other standard safety features include antilock 4-wheel disc brakes and the aforementioned antiskid system.
