Morning everyone! We realize the over exposure is set far too high in some scenes of this video. Still tinkering around with the settings on the new DSLR camera but we'll be sure to not make that mistake again! Thanks for watching as always and be sure to let us know below if you think the MDX is still the King of the 3-row luxury SUV segment!
Naveen Krishnamurthy Toyota’s V6 are a bit quieter but is also a bit slower than Honda’s V6, the smoothness is because of the transmissions, Honda’s transmission are all ways made with a bit of sportiness and quick shifting, Toyota’s transmission specially the 6 speed auto with the V6 is a very smooth combo, the new 8 speed auto is terrible😓
What a thorough review. Never ran across someone who goes into so much detail. First time viewer but an mdx awd tech owner and you are spot on everything.
I still have the 2001 MDX, 235k miles and still going strong, everything is holding up well! It's interesting to see how the vehicle evolved over the years. My 2001 MDX is a basic car compared to what is now available, but still drives well in all weather conditions, and the utility for carry people and stuff is still excellent. When my MDX falls apart, I'll definitely consider the new version of the MDX!
@@ACURACALABAR11 Your absolutely right but i am a cheap ass brother but thanks for the advice i know how it feels to live in the momentum after surviving cancer.
@@patrickboyd3364 the reason I said that....my uncle bought a shelby brand new in September. Same day it got delivered he felt sick and went to the hospital. He died last week. Never even drive the damn car. He had cancer cant remember the name but it attacks your proteins and it was in his blood bone and kidney. They even took him off the machine thingy that pee for you.
I have actually owned five MDX’s, they are my travel cars. I have the 2014 and will go to the 2020 next. Mine are Tech and Advanced but I’m into the Acura for its longevity and comfortable seats. They’ve been bulletproof for me so I’m excited to get the next one.
Especially the red interior. they did a horrible job. The 3rd row isn't even red. The center seat is black with no hints of red. Terrible combination. But seeing the RDX, I have high hopes for the next gen MDX. Should be a winner - hopefully.
I have a 2017 MDX tech. I was initially disappointed at the fit and finish quality compared to previous generations.. but the handling and driving dynamics make up for it. Plus pretty good fuel economy for a v6 3 row SUV. It's not a luxury vehicle, more of a premium class. This is a good suv if you're willing to sacrifice luxury.
2017 Acura MDX Elite 6 passenger, black on brown, yeah we call the top trim Elite here in Canada. Bought it brand new. Love it like the first day I got it.
I tried this one and Lexus 350 . I like This one much better even interior not so hot as Lexus but this one more spacious seams quicker plus it's a little cheaper .
I still love my 2011 MDX with Advance Package. The car got everything I needed, it still drives comfortable and sporty and it body style still look up to date, but I can't deny, this Aspec looks nice thou....
In all honesty, how many people feel the dashboard on a regular basis? I know a lot of people complain about not getting soft touch everywhere or leather, but to me it just seems ridiculous. I would rather have a the extra durability of plastic in places where I am almost never gonna touch like the dash and the areas by the side pockets where people tend to bump the door open with their feet.
Unfortunately it looks like a sporty van. The infotainment system is horrible but yet the new Honda Accord has a way better infotainment system very strange choice that Honda has a better infotainment system then their luxury brand.
My wife has had her 2019 black MDX ASpec with the black and red seats for a month now. The Navi is sooo outdated, it’s the same as the 2008 MDX that we used to have. But it has Apple Car Play so that really doesn’t bother her. But other than that she loves her MDX.
Great review, reading some of the posts hating on the MDX reminds me why I don't care for the general public. If you talk to someone on the street they're pretty savvy but get a group together and they'll hate on oxygen. Funny how people are. One thing to agree on is a great review from Redline once again and a great Acura product although a Turbo V6 would get attention.
Acura is by far my favorite luxury brand there sporty and reliable and luxurious and I just got an mdx and looked at all luxury crossovers three row and even though the interior looked outdated the new trim pieces are nice and luxurious and the infotainment system isn’t that bad as long as it has Apple car play in good (Lexus rxl).
@@EDHBlvd I've been looking at an X6 BMW and you talk about bland. It looks like it came out of an old 7 series with a fancy screen. Acura's still better than that. IMHO I have a 2010 MDX Advanced 262k miles, my wife drives a 12 TL Advanced and I lilke the dashes ok.
Sofyan, great video as always and congrats on getting oh so close to the half million subs. I have to say, there isn't much about the new Acura line up that I personally like. I just think other brands have sort of caught Acura styling wise and are equally as good inside, as well at better prices. The sad thing is these new cars/suv's are a refreshed line up for Acura and they just don't look very good.
why would complain about the lack of a pano on a old platform? Yes the pilot has it, but that's because it's a completely new vehicle to the MDX. Do you assume a car manufacturer would add something as major as that on a refresh?
Running Coyote yes, the pilot and mdx share a platform so I don't see why not and some manufacturers strengthen the front crash structure during a refresh
I love the exterior looks and the engine is absolutely superb but man they really have to work on their interior game. Can't wait to see it given the RDX treatment!
Love the A-Spec trim, but this generation of MDX needs a bigger refresh. Love what they did with the new RDX and expect the new generation MDX will be again class-leading. I have a 2008 MDX that still runs like new. IMO, this generation of MDX was the best looking - great combo of practicality and sportiness without looking oversized.
my favorite auto reviewer. you have a great style, delivery... great job. I think would be great to add a DB meter test in some of the luxury cars to show differences in isolation and quietness. I bought a 2007 MDX in 2009, and was very disappointed in the lack of isolation of sound in the interior. I think they have improved though from what im reading but wonder if Lexus for eg is better in the GX 460 or RX350 Its too bad the Aspec it just visual upgrades and nothing at all mechanical. Also, what a disappointment they didnt filter down the RDX nav in the MDX for 2019. The RDX is better overall.
@@RomaneMaticaliseGordon Vs. an Audi Q7 or Volvo XC90🙄🙄? Let me guess, the 10 year old infotainment system and lack of driver tech upgrades, and sub-300hp motor, gives the MDX the title of "Luxury 3 Row SUV King" over the cutting edge tech of the Audi or Volvo? I'm pretty sure the MDX lacks the 4 corner air suspension, a pano-sunroof, automatic self-parking, semi-autonomous driver assistance tech, etc. Basically the features and options that are expected in the 3 row luxury SUV segment.
The MDX is at the end of its life cycle the major redesign is a year or 2 away and you will see many of those elements added. the XC90 was extremely dated at the end of its last lifecycle until its 2017 redesign as well. In addition the current MDX HAS semi-auto driver assist tech standard including LKAS and ACC with low speed follow. It works extemely well.
@@doomsday9973 Woulda, shoulda, coulda. The current MDX in this review lags far behind the current Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 in present day luxury SUV comparisons.
I’d totally buy this car over the Volvo XC90. It looks better than the Chinese Volvo, and the exhaust note is there, unlike the Volvo’s electric feel of the 2.0 liter 4-cylinder, which is small for a relatively large SUV.
NICE BUT ANYONE THAT CAN WAIT FOR THE REDESIGN WILL GET MORE UPDATED TECHNOLOGY IF YOUR FOLLOWING THERE PATTERNS AND UPGRADES TO THERE LINE UP OF VEHICLES. GREAT REVIEW SOFYAN
@Darkivaz - AAA this will probably be the last year of this production model as it ran from 2014 if I'm not mistaken so I would think we should see an all New MDX by 2020.
With most vehicles, anything over 18" wheel size, you start to feel a lot of the bumps, plus buying new tire, prices jump way up with every inch in wheel size you go up.
jmen8888 I agree however with the mdx and 19 inches you don’t feel more bumps compared to the smaller wheels like you would other vehicles. It’s so nice
That can be easily fixed, theirs a module you can buy that plugs in to the taillights and they will flash with the signals and make your existing signals inop. I had it on my 08 wrx. They sell those for a shit load of cars
I think that the people who are making bad comments about the MDX have never had one. It is an awesome smooth, usefull, comfortable SUV and has a very good performance on the road. A vehicle made to last long long time.
Nice improvement but why isn't the panoramic sunroof available 🤔 Acura just needs to improve the look of it's center console and grille upfront. Many current drivers have expressed how it reminds them of a Sony Aiwa from the early 90's. Otherwise it's a great package all-around kudos to Acura for not putting the ugly crab claws on the rear end 😎
hate the a/c and seat heat controls being on the screen. Had a Chrysler 200 for a rental for a while and it was sooo annoying having to go through screens to just control that.
I feel like I would appreciate a slightly more definitive position on these cars. Meaning I like when you say "If I needed a 3rd row SUV for under 55k Dollars, I would pick the MDX but also test drive the T5 AWD XC90" If I had more to spend I'd go for the T6 XC90 because I like the looks, tech, added power etc. I'm looking at the RDX and your segment with Alex on the RDX/Stelvio/XC60 was great because you made those distinctions at the end.
I have a 2018 with the 9 speed and I notice the difference from a complete stop and slight hesitation when hitting it hard. Good engine but the trans needs adjustment and I’m coming from a hemi Charger.
Many people don’t understand on older versions of cars for example the MDX they can’t just add a panoramic roof on a refresh model because it’s structural, they would have to redesign the roof and side body panels which would defeat the point of a refresh, it’s not a redesign, on the redesigned model it will most likely have a pano.
Acura MDX was introduced back in 2017 model with the mid-cycle refreshed model and the all new 2014 Acura MDX and the mid-cycle refreshed 2010 Acura MDX and the all new 2007 Acura MDX and the 2004 Acura MDX and the 2001 Acura MDX!
LOL, I just watched the Straight Pipes video as well......and just like the Acura in Sofyan's video, the ILX in the Straight Pipes video didn't impress me either. Both are just bland and not worth the price that they're asking for.
I hope the new generations Garmin based Nav is as good as their old gen Nav because it worked so damn well, I still miss that Nav system to this day. I would gladly give up pixels for a better working system, I’m not watching movies on it.
I’ve got a 2012 and it has the worst backup camera. It doesn’t seem to have changed 7 years later Sadly. Also the navigation is poor. I still love my Acura. The 2022 looks sweet,
Sure you will get some comments regarding the interior being dated. The manager at the local dealer assured me the MDX will soon get the new refreshed look similar to the RDX,
Acura have you seen the Q8?? Still very nice and I would purchase this over the Audi because of reliability although, the Mazda CX-9 feels more luxurious than this.
I’m choosing between this one and Lexus nx300 please give me heads up which I should get if u guys know both the cars from ur experience thank u...have a good day
The exterior is nice, interior and tech is definitely dated. There is a lot to improve for the next generation. Driving dynamic is a plus of this vehicle in my opinion though.
Automotive industry and enthusiast obsession with large and visible exhaust tips will continue to baffle me. I left that obsession after I became an adult.
My leaae is up in May on my 16 mdx im keeping it. Tailpipes nice but not enough to make me change in for another lease and another downpayment and taxes. I have tech version so I use the navi rarely I prefer waze on my phone. Not gona get nw to change for nothing.
I have a 2016 MDX. There is no big interior or power chain update in this three-year-later version. I am a big fan of Acura. But they really need to upgrade the infortament system!!!
I wish Acura’s used the dual or single touchscreen infotainment, it’s way more convenient. Acura seems to be a bit late to the tech areas in general and have for a while which sucks as they’re supposed to be a luxury brand.
Oh damnitt……. you had to rag the display and map system... and ALL I'm hearing is "Pilot, Pilot, Pilot!!"... Glad you highlighted "WAZE"... Most of all I'm glad you hammered it so I can see IF I really want this thing...… so Conclusion, Advanced Model...…..
Love the car but i noticed in this video and the last that you seem alittle over exposed in some parts. Especially the beginning. Love the reviews though.

Thanks for watching as always and be sure to let us know below if you think the MDX is still the King of the 3-row luxury SUV segment!
@* I wouldn't ceitisise the V6 at all if you look at 0-60 times it's faster than the Audi Q7 and almost still at top on game as far as engine.
@* completely agreed basically Acura needs to give us some excitement!
Still the KING, Lexus has a lot to do even though they try to be competing with it by bringing the RX 350L
Please can you do a review of the C43 AMG sedan Preferably 2018 - 2019 ?
@* look at 0-60 times MDX is still very good. But yes the infotainment system is a joke.
I hope the Honda Acura V6 never dies...it sounds so good.
motomusiq I don’t know if it ties with the Toyota v6. The Honda v6 sounds good with the VTEC, but the Toyota’s feels smoother
the honda V6 is an awesome engine however it has a history of VCM issues
Naveen Krishnamurthy Toyota’s V6 are a bit quieter but is also a bit slower than Honda’s V6, the smoothness is because of the transmissions, Honda’s transmission are all ways made with a bit of sportiness and quick shifting, Toyota’s transmission specially the 6 speed auto with the V6 is a very smooth combo, the new 8 speed auto is terrible😓

Its just really dated
This was just a refresh. Check out the RDX interior, that's the direction they are going
Ahmad Al Ameer you should get a Mercedes. Beautiful inside and out. Acura is trash and I’m just here to hate watch lol
This is the old interior. Look at the RDX of what Acura’s new interior design will be.
Especially the red interior. they did a horrible job. The 3rd row isn't even red. The center seat is black with no hints of red. Terrible combination. But seeing the RDX, I have high hopes for the next gen MDX. Should be a winner - hopefully.

The Sport Hybrid is underrated - it's technically the same powertrain (detuned, though) as the NSX

Plastic rattles after a while and especially in cold weather it creaks and makes noises . soft touch dash adds to the intergirty of the interior
I don't mind the two information system. Because I can use Android or apple carplay map. But besides that MDX looks sweet.
Unfortunately it looks like a sporty van. The infotainment system is horrible but yet the new Honda Accord has a way better infotainment system very strange choice that Honda has a better infotainment system then their luxury brand.
Its because the MDX has an older system. The accord was just redesigned from the ground up last year while the MDX was from 2013.

What specifically do you think makes the infotainment system on the Honda better than the one in the mdx
"The third row seat is pretty useless for adults" .... Sofyan fits back there just fine lol
The interior just looks dated and cheap in 2019. Looking forward to the next generation in 2020.
Im so tempted to get this model a spec but I'm very patiently waiting for the upcoming type s mdx
What did you expect from interior bits from 2013?
Yeah if the interior matched the 2010-12 models, it would be awesome. Doesn't scream 'luxury' inside.
ER B It does. But so does the 2018 Honda Accord. It needs a refresh from the exterior and interior.
The gen is in 2021
Im sold when I heard that sound when you shut the door. that’s the main thing on my “must haves” 😉 lol

The two screens was one of Acura’s biggest mistakes.

Roger Young for the price you pay it’s disrespectful for there to be any halogen bulbs on this vehicle.
Well wanna be like that look at some Cadillac and Lexus hmm don’t be biased against Acura

First off, where the hell were you that you can wear a t-shirt while we freezing here on the east coast! Love your reviews man, very detailed.
It's surprisingly low. Almost reminds me of a wagon sometimes, in a good way. Makes it look sporty.

LOL, I just watched the Straight Pipes video as well......and just like the Acura in Sofyan's video, the ILX in the Straight Pipes video didn't impress me either. Both are just bland and not worth the price that they're asking for.
@@mikewazowski7613 they're not a drivers car. Daily, yea probably. Not for spirited driving though. I tend to lean away from boring cars
@@mikewazowski7613 it also cheapens the Acura brand.
Because Acura sends these out at the same time to review. Has nothing to do with "great minds think alike".
@@MaxSpeedMike Disagree 100%. Acura's coming back...
Why no digital gauges and surround view camera like the advanced package...
Great review as always - the infotainment system is way too old for this price point.
Great video. I love going to Falls Church when visiting from Pittsburgh. Eden Center for some Pho... AWESOME.
who’s here for my boy edp445???
I love that blue! Come to think of it I like blue waves too! And I am from Canada
I hope the new generations Garmin based Nav is as good as their old gen Nav because it worked so damn well, I still miss that Nav system to this day. I would gladly give up pixels for a better working system, I’m not watching movies on it.
the only bad thing is that the directional rear lights is still the same should be updated
RIP, I just bought one of these today. Should of waited for the all new MDX.
I’ve got a 2012 and it has the worst backup camera. It doesn’t seem to have changed 7 years later Sadly. Also the navigation is poor. I still love my Acura. The 2022 looks sweet,
Actually I laugh when companies still charge for navigation 😆 carplay will do the job
Sure you will get some comments regarding the interior being dated. The manager at the local dealer assured me the MDX will soon get the new refreshed look similar to the RDX,
Acura have you seen the Q8?? Still very nice and I would purchase this over the Audi because of reliability although, the Mazda CX-9 feels more luxurious than this.
I’m choosing between this one and Lexus nx300 please give me heads up which I should get if u guys know both the cars from ur experience thank u...have a good day
When u drove it under Sport Mode, I saw you didn't used the paddled shifting. Question, can u drive it with out using the paddle shifting? Thanks
The exterior is nice, interior and tech is definitely dated. There is a lot to improve for the next generation.
Driving dynamic is a plus of this vehicle in my opinion though.
A very handsom looking SUV. Would be nice if they sold these in Australia
That's always a great color, even on a large suv.
Automotive industry and enthusiast obsession with large and visible exhaust tips will continue to baffle me. I left that obsession after I became an adult.
Thanks for not calling the door handle a "cell phone storage spot". That really irritated me every time.
My leaae is up in May on my 16 mdx im keeping it. Tailpipes nice but not enough to make me change in for another lease and another downpayment and taxes. I have tech version so I use the navi rarely I prefer waze on my phone. Not gona get nw to change for nothing.
I have a 2016 MDX. There is no big interior or power chain update in this three-year-later version. I am a big fan of Acura. But they really need to upgrade the infortament system!!!
best for the buck - MDX or Subaru Ascent ? both can find around 30,000, well MDX might be 2018, 2020 with 5,000 miles around 40K. ?
I watch this video over and over t so I won't forget all the attachments it has
The interior is incredibly messy.
Like your room
I really enjoy this car seems genuine all in all, and has a rich taste . love the midnight blue. But the interior is outdated
What’s the name of that intro song? It’s so tranquil! I need it!
Redline! I love your reviews! You’re the best!
I wish Acura’s used the dual or single touchscreen infotainment, it’s way more convenient. Acura seems to be a bit late to the tech areas in general and have for a while which sucks as they’re supposed to be a luxury brand.
Can you do some Lincoln products? Either the MKZ OR MKC
Oh damnitt……. you had to rag the display and map system... and ALL I'm hearing is "Pilot, Pilot, Pilot!!"... Glad you highlighted "WAZE"... Most of all I'm glad you hammered it so I can see IF I really want this thing...… so Conclusion, Advanced Model...…..
Please consider switching it up and do the top of the range luxury version of vehicles. Not just the sporty trims.
Hope they finally add a pano-sunroof next year.
Love the car but i noticed in this video and the last that you seem alittle over exposed in some parts. Especially the beginning. Love the reviews though.
We love you!
@@25DARKSUPERSONIC who cares?
Love it... can I have it with a real transmission shifter? (no buttons for me please)
When will Acura allow the A-SPEC package to be optioned with the MDX Sport Hybrid?
I would love to see in these reviews how luggage or golf clubs fit? Will it fit 4 sets of golf clubs?
God you know how much I want this car..Just open the doors for me to have it🙏🏾
Wow stepping inside that car is like getting in the 2009 TL, disappointing to say the least, i would in a heartbeat get the volvo xc90.
Between MDX and XC90 is about 15k diffence in price. Its like compare Escalade to XC90
True, but I'd take the XC90 over the Escalade.
