The refreshed Acura MDX posted an “Excellent” overall score to top Consumer Reports’ tests of four luxury SUVs for its June 2010 issue, and is now the magazine’s top-rated three-row luxury SUV.

The MDX earned an overall road test score of 85, outperforming the Land Rover LR4 at 73, the Lincoln MKT at 72, and the Audi Q7 at 68. The other three vehicles all earned “Very Good” scores.

Of the four, only the MDX receives a “Recommended” rating. Consumer Reports only recommends vehicles that have performed well in its tests, have at least average predicted reliability based on subscriber surveys, and performed at least adequately if crash-tested or included in a government rollover test. The magazine doesn’t have sufficient reliability data on the MKT or LR4, and the Audi Q7 has had below-average reliability.
