Back in 2014, the Acura MDX underwent a significant overhaul that upped its luxurious looks and finally gave it the style needed to compete with the big boys. Today, we have learned that a fully redesigned MDX is just around the corner, and Acura will show it off at the upcoming New York Auto Show.

Acura didn’t reveal details on the model’s looks, but it did release a teaser image that gives us an idea of just how significant this update will be. As you can see in the above image, the restyle will be comprehensive and will include harder bodylines, more pronounced kinks, a brand-new nose, and a restyled version of the existing headlight design. What really stands out is the lack of the infamous Acura beak-style grille and the introduction of the Diamond Pentagon grille.

While the current MDX has a great cabin, the 2017 model will likely push the envelope a bit with updated features. Look for some enhanced materials, and possibly (read: hopefully) a new infotainment system that consolidates the two-screen system into one large touchscreen. The latter is doubtful, but I can wish, right?

Acura didn’t go into the powertrain of the 2017 MDX, but we can just look at the recently redesigned Pilot to get that info. This means that the 2017 MDX will likely arrive with the same 3.5-liter V-6 as the 2016 Pilot but with its power turned up a bit to around 290 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. There is still no word on a thrifty turbocharged four-cylinder for the MDX, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for it.

We’ll learn all the juicy details behind the 2017 Acura MDX once it debuts at the 2016 New York Auto Show on March 23, 2016. Until then, stay tuned for additional updates.
