If you’re shopping luxury SUVs in Columbia, SC, chances are the Lexus TX, Genesis GV80, or Mercedes-Benz GLE have caught your eye. But before you make your final decision, there’s one model you absolutely must consider first: the Acura MDX — consistently one of the top-selling 3-row luxury SUVs in America for good reason.

From daily commutes down I-26 and school drop-offs at Hammond or Spring Valley to weekend getaways at Lake Murray or Charleston, the MDX is built for Carolina living — powerful, comfortable, efficient, and easy to own.

Let’s break down why the MDX is your smartest buy.
