MDX Hybrid performance upgrades?

I am loving the MDX hybrid and the way it drives. I gas up maybe once a week. honestly, sometimes I don't even remember when was the last time I went to the gas station.

The car performs very well and sometimes I am shocked at how quickly it picks up when trying to pass someone on the highway.

I wanted to know if there is anything out there that we could do to the hybrid to make it even faster? Like more powerful motors, ecu tune, etc.. I am still new to hybrids so I do not know if this will mess with the hybrid driving system. I also know that if there is opportunity to increase performance, gas efficiency will take a hit.

Don't get me wrong, the sport hybrid mdx is no slouch..

Any insight would be great! Thank you.

You could trade it in and get a Tesla Model X. Better performance and efficiency.

Otherwise I'm of the opinion "don't touch it". Acura has smart people and more money than all of us, combined. You're not going to do better than they did.

Best I can do is to take my time doing maintenance so it's done properly and with high-quality parts. But I don't usually deviate from the factory design.
