From the outside, the MDX sports thick D (rearmost) pillars that you’d think would hamper visibility. You’d be right, too. The rear window glass is small, and those big rearmost pillars create enormous blind spots. Acura compensates with a backup camera that displays a wide-angle version of the world on the large centrally-located navigation screen, but it’s only active in reverse. At least the second-row headrests are low, and the middle one disappears completely when not in use. Otherwise, like in most large SUVs you sit well above traffic, and with the narrow front pillars forward vision is excellent.
