With an emphasis on driving, it’s easy to forget that the MDX is also a big box that can haul up to 83.5 cu. ft. of cargo with all the seats folded. The liftover isn’t too bad by SUV standards, and the power hatch is handy when your arms are full. The seats are all easy to fold down, but curiously, they don't create a flat cargo floor. Instead, the load floor slopes downward to the rear hatch. If you stuff a lot of groceries or Christmas shopping or other bags back there, remember what they say in the airlines: Open the hatch with caution, as items may have shifted in transit.
