MDX the Gas Saver?

Hard to believe but probably true, when comparing the Acura MDX to any Truck based SUV such as a Tahoe, Escalade, Sequoia, or GX 470. Name one other vehicle that can carry 7 passengers, has all wheel drive, and gets an EPA estimated 20-24 MPG (Highway 2008 and 2004 Model Years). I personally just drove 750 mile round trip and averaged 22.7 MPG doing mostly free way driving, that is impressive for an AWD vehicle that can hold 7 people. To put it in perspective imagine a one gallon milk jug and the size that it is, then imagine the distance of 20+ miles out of a one gallon jug of gasoline. That is alot of distance for such a small amount of fuel, especially in an MDX!

Currently we have seen a large spike in SUV buyers that normally want a truck based SUV are now looking at our New and Certified MDX's mainly because gas mileage, but also because of the incentives we have on them (0.9% for 36 months and 2.9% up to 60 months on New and Certified MDX with approved credit through American Honda Finance).

If you are looking for a sensitive alternative to the large truck based SUV then go with the Acura MDX, the ride, the quality, the design, the safety it really is the best in overall value.
