Best for

  • Value-first shoppers — the $51,800 starting MSRP is the lowest of any model in this dataset.
  • Cargo-heavy households: 95.0 cu ft with the rear rows folded and 18.1 cu ft behind the third row.
  • Buyers who want seven seats and a premium badge while staying under $60k to start.

Watch out for

  • Third-row legroom of 29.1 inches is the tightest in this segment — treat it as a kids-and-short-trips row.
  • The 5,000 lb tow rating requires SH-AWD; front-wheel-drive models are rated at 3,500 lb.
  • Acura's cargo figures include the underfloor bin — behind the third row it is 16.3 cu ft without it.
