Has anyone noticed that the current gen MDX has no plastic guard at all where your feet enter and leave the vehicle? Never saw a car previously that didn’t have at least some level of protection. I know you can buy the door sills that light up, but that’s more cosmetic than anything and won’t cover the area that gets the most usage. For reference I took a picture of my 2022 Odyssey which has ample protection. Seems a weird omission from Acura?

You can get the ones that say just Acura on there in silver. Also i would recommend wrapping in clear vinyl to protect the paint.

Did this start with the 2026? Why would they do this?

 

I saw a 2022 with this. Prioritizing appearance over durability I guess.
