The MOHAVE can't even stand next to the MDX not to talk of the sportage, the sportage is a nice looking vehicle and fuel efficient and rugged to an extent but buy the ACURA MDX, and command respect, luxury, piece of mind and SWAGGER.

Are you comparing 1972 Acura and 1980 Sportage?

For what is it the fact that it is better than the Mohave, sportage or even the sorento. MDX is a luxurious CUV with leather and state of the ART design, you just need to be in it tO appreciate it even the pilot gan sef is far beta than and more luxurious than all those kia mentioned. If you want more clarification find the reviews of this vehicle.

Acura is the luxury version of Honda just like Lexus to Toyota... It's not in the same class with sportage.

OP, stop insulting the Acura please. İt is not because you are a Nigerian that you would be sounding off like someone that schooled in France.

Even the Acura RDX which is a far smaller vehicle than even the ZDX, not to talk of the Almighty MDX beats the Kia Mohave (Kia's biggest SUV) hands down even though they are not in the same class. Please compare your Sportage to the Honda HRV, yes İ mean the HRV which is the smallest Honda SUV.

İ am warning you for the last time please, do not mention the Kia and Acura in the same statement even if you are being asked to make a list of cars/car manufacturers. You have been adequately warned.

This is like comparing Benin Republic or Togo to Nigeria.

Want a luxurious utility vehicle that's sensible and practical yet also luxurious and enjoyable to drive? Then you should place the 2014 Acura MDX near the top of their shopping list. For for more than a decade, Acura has honed the MDX into a remarkably sharp-looking, responsive-driving vehicle that doesn't include a lot of compromise.
Design-wise, there are no big surprises. The 2014 MDX takes to a shape that's a little more sport-wagon influenced, perhaps, and mates that with interiors that are a little warmer. The sleeker profile, more curvaceous sheetmetal, and some new, precise front-end details serve to give it a leaner look overall. Our editors are split on whether Acura’s ‘beak’ front end works, but we think that it’s much more flattering on the brand’s utility vehicles—and this new MDX—than on its sedans. Crisp matte-chrome details and ‘jewel-eye’ LED headlamps altogether gives this model a streamlined, elegant look. Inside, Acura has paid much more attention to properly coordinated materials and trims, and it shows.

The 2014 MDX is powered by a 290-horsepower version of Acura’s always-excellent 3.5-liter V-6 engine—now fed with direct injection and kosher with the full suite of Honda’s so-called Earth Dreams technologies. Across the lineup, it’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that includes steering-wheel paddle shifters. The so-called Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system that’s available in the MDX (yes, front-wheel drive is now standard, if that’s all you need) provides more all-weather traction, and even a little more cornering control in some situations, and it can vary front-wheel torque distribution from 90 percent down to 30 percent (70 percent to the rear)—or up to a hundred percent to either the left or right wheels.
It's now one of the roomiest three-row crossovers inside, unless you're willing to step up to a vehicle that's potentially too big to park. Front seats are about as supportive yet plush as you'd expect in a luxury crossover, and you can now slide the second row back and forth about six inches, and Acura has even installed a little lighted button beside the second-row outboard seats, for third-row access. A press enables a neat, cleverly-designed spring-loaded process (yes, fewer motors to short out, less weight and complication). Flatter-folding seats, better storage solutions, and a great center-console arrangement with a slide-out tray all contribute to an impression that this is a vehicle that doesn't waste your space—or your time.

The 2014 MDX is also very, very quiet inside. An active cancellation system inside the cabin helps, as well as an active engine mount system that helps quell low frequency vibrations from the powertrain. Full-on acoustic glass is used for the windshield and front windows, while thicker, noise-insulating glass is used elsewhere; and Acura has added a load of insulation elsewhere, while looking at cabin air leakage to help seal out residual noise.
