What is the life expectancy of a 2006 Acura MDX?
I’m looking to purchase a used luxury SUV but I want to make sure it lasts a while. What is the life expectancy of a 2006 Acura MDX?

We completely get it! A 2006
Acura MDX
has a life expectancy of 16-20 years with proper care and maintenance. So as long as the previous driver took good care of it, this luxury SUV could last you between 250,000 to 300,000 miles. Powered by a mighty 3.5-liter V6 engine, the 2006 Acura MDX boasts 253 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque that can soar from zero to 60 in less than eight seconds. Of course, you’ll want to drive more conservatively if you want to keep gas costs down. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard, so you can expect an EPA rating of 15/21/17 mpg for city/highway/combined driving with premium gasoline.
If you’re looking for your 2006 Acura MDX to last for the long haul, you’ll need to stick to a proper
car maintenance schedule
, including regularly checking your SUV’s fluids, belts, and brakes. But keep in mind that MDX models from 2003 to 2007 are prone to automatic transmission failure that is said to cause the gears to slip and shudder when driving. So you may want to consider a 2008 Acura MDX model or newer to get the most mileage out of your luxury SUV. View full answer
