Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Safety Equipment 2018 SUV Specification

The 2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid SUV is equipped with an array of advanced safety features designed to provide comprehensive protection and enhance driver confidence. Central to its safety suite is the AcuraWatch™ system, which integrates several key technologies. This includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) that can detect obstacles ahead and apply the brakes to prevent or mitigate collisions. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow maintains a safe following distance from the vehicle in front, even in stop-and-go traffic.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) work in tandem to ensure the vehicle stays centered in its lane and prevent unintentional lane departure. The MDX Sport Hybrid also features a Multi-View Rear Camera with dynamic guidelines, providing a clear and adjustable view of the area behind the vehicle to aid in parking and reversing maneuvers.

Additional safety equipment includes the Blind Spot Information System (BSI), which alerts the driver to vehicles detected in their blind spot, and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, which warns of approaching vehicles when reversing out of parking spaces. The SUV is built with Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to absorb and disperse frontal impact energy more evenly, enhancing occupant protection in the event of a collision.

Front and rear parking sensors provide audible warnings to assist in tight parking situations, while the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) ensures optimal tire pressure is maintained for safe driving conditions. The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid also includes standard airbags, including front, side, and side curtain airbags, to protect all occupants. These combined features make the 2018 Acura MDX Sport Hybrid a well-rounded vehicle with a strong emphasis on safety and driver assistance technologies.
