#Acura #MDX #walkaround - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
To me the MDX is too small for a third row. Acura needs something bigger in their lineup for three rows.
I advocated grand MDX. And the pilot needs grand pilot and hybrid too to much Toyota
And Acura needs to update the RDX too at last.
Totally agree! Definitely need a bigger third row.
@@tylersrubar6451 I think you are right for a family that will use it often. We literally only need it once a year when the grandparents visit and we all need to go somewhere in one car. So for us, it’s fine and we like this for the handling and that it takes up much less space in the garage than the larger 3-rows out there.
Wish it was two rows and it had 3'' more second row leg room and true captains chairs, then make a larger 3 row
I wish manufacturers would just completely get rid of piano black.
It just scratches so easily. 😑
Make them 10k cheaper. More people will like the piano black interior 😂😂😂
I wouldn't be against it if it were some super hard material that doesn't scratch. too bad diamond coating are not cheap. lol
Mazda CX-70 has ZERO piano inside. 😁
@@DrT1250yet the Mazda has no type s equivalent
@@DrT1250 What kind of piano would fit in that dinky little thing?
I have a ‘23. Wish in the type S, they would eliminate the 3rd row and give me a slightly larger fuel tank. Only gets 280 miles on a full tank.
Mines gets 300, but yes, I wish.
And how do you think that would effect sales of the Type-S? Talk about a 1% opinion.
Agreed, most would never use a 3d row.
It's still one of the best in its class! I'll say looks wise, it's right behind the X5
X5 drives 10 times better.
@@ryanb8736 and you pay much more for that
The price of everything has gone up but wages have not
The MDX is more cool minivan than SUV. 75k for a not full luxury but an upscale family hauler is crazy. National average household income for 2024 is 74k. To show how much Inflation has destroyed the middle class in 1965 National Avg Household was 6900 and a new Buick sports wagon with the upscale "Custom" trim was 3,250
It’s not 1965. We also can make 100 times more money so easy these days. Anyone can make money with just a cell phone. You couldn’t do that in 1965.
its almost as if wages dont keep up with inflation
@@ryanb8736 Some of us do not do "Only Fans"
Awesome suv for what it is. I love mine, but most reviewers forget it's not a luxury brand like BMW or Mercedes, just like BMW and Mercedes is not like rolls Joyce and buggatti...Acura is premium brand means more than Honda products and first in America before Lexus or infinity. I love Honda products and love that now I make more money I can buy more premium Honda products including my Integra, rdx and mdx
@@TheKingkingg Spot on. Makes no sense to me when people want to compare Acura to BMW. Different buyers and motivations.
Really bad placement of the wireless charger next to the cup holders. Phone and charger should be nowhere near liquids and possible spills.
where else would you put it
Really great premium crossover, I like the 2025 changes.
Glad I decided on a 2020 over the new generation. Only thing I wish I had was the 10 speed but supposedly they worked out the 9 speed issues before my year.
$76,000 gets you unlimited piano black trim 😢
I like the MDX a lot. 3 things I want Acura to change: Get rid of the cartoonishly large grill emblem, tune it to run on Regular 87 octane, and give a hybrid option.
Good review. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering when/if you were going to shut the hood properly lol. Test drive?
Piano black is the biggest mystery in automotive history. The gap between the universal hatred and car manufacturers not giving a damn is astounding.
I would give that honour to the trend of putting all controls in a screen and getting rid of all buttons. Easily the worst thing to happen to the car industry in decades
Personally love the look of piano black but I totally understand the hate because that's what I hate as well about it. But it's easy to clean and looks really nice when it is clean.
It's a strategic decision by manufacturers. The logic, one would assume, is that if a customer is willing to accept a ginormous, nasty, fingerprint-smeared screen right in their faces they deduced that a little piano black messiness won't put them off.
I love the fit and finish of these vehicles. I just wish it offered more performance, I'm still content with my Edge Sport as far as how it's equipped and performance.
Glad they kept the exterior design and get rid of the infotainment pad. Great positioning in the market considering Honda/Acura reliability.
Thank you
I wish Acura would bring back a non plug in hybrid version of this SUV. For those of us who have to occasionally make 350-450 mile trips without wanting to stop or suffering any range anxiety (yes us ICE drivers also have this affliction). Not to mention the benefit of running the HVAC for a bit while the engine is off plus the additional torque provided. Yes I know there is Lexus RX and now TX (since non plug in hybrid category) but the Honda has historically been a more spirited driving experience w better AWD.
Acura did make a hybrid MDX in the previous generation. Unfortunately the MDX Sport Hybrid sold poorly. The market at the time wasn't ready for hybrid luxury SUV's.
look at Lexus TX. That’s what most people are trading in their MDX’s in for. Lexus has been trading in lots of MDX’s.
@@TheBreakfastLover pretty dumb decision on their part- the mdx sport hybrid got 30+ mpg highway with only 20 less HP and was way lighter than this and still sat 7.
@@ShaiyanHossain it was simple, people weren't buying the MDX Hybrid so they discontinued it.
@@TheBreakfastLover You've brought clarity to a nebulous comment thread.
That price jump 😢
I'm afraid at this point they just want people to get used to hearing these prices... $76k for an MDX is criminal 😅
He literally said the base MDX starts at $52k
It’s a luxury vehicle if you can’t afford it they have the Honda pilot, then the pilot maxes out in the 50s right where the mdx starts at.
Companies don’t have a choice. Now that interest is up, investors are now getting 8 percent on their investment for companies to borrow money to build.
COVID shutting down everything and prices of fuel going up while causing inflation to skyrocket, huge pay raises, utility bills doubling, insurance doubling, etc.
It now cost a company double the price to build vehicles. So they are building less for more money.
This is why most manufacturers want to move to Mexico. It’s cheaper to operate there. Unfortunately a lot of parts are still built in US. All those small companies went up in prices to sell to manufacturers.
Simple people think it’s just the dealers making these suggested prices. Dealers have to pay the higher invoice prices now.
@@CK-1000That’s for the slow 290hp one.
@@EdwinRodriguez-zt5fx I challenge you to find another vehicle in this class with the same features for less. It may seem like a big number, but It’s a solid value in the new car marketplace. However, you can still find 2024 models of the Type S and they are selling for 10K less. So that is an alternative. Or used.
If they are gonna make a sport model, idk why they didn’t just go twin turbos on this instead of one. Especially on a v6
decision not to do mdx hybrid was a major strategic flop for Acura/Honda
Are you doing one for the RDX by any chance? I’m looking to buy one soon
and I like it that you can have with different leather options or wood options or metal options inside and if you want it with carbon parts inside and different wheel options like the European Luxury Cars 👍
Hopefully Tommy's new wife will require him to keep his hair cut and clean.
Personal grooming tips from the peanut 🥜gallery. How nice.
Always buy CPO. There’s no reason ppl should be spending that type of money on a car. You would probably get this for about 50k after it’s returned from lease. I wouldn’t mind having this car in 3 years with under 40k for 26k less. I’ll let someone else eat that depreciation.
When will people realize these cars are not worth nowhere near $76,000 maybe $50,000 for the type S! Car pricing is way out of hand but it won’t stop til people start leaving these cars to rot on lots.. But to many unintelligent folks just keep handing money over to these corporations!
No way! Hey, you’re rich so you can buy me one Tommy. Great video.
I agree that the third row is not as good as a lexus TX, but the added size of the latter means it is even more of a struggle to park, won’t fit in a standard garage and ends up outside… and that means where I’m from it’s going to get stolen and will be seen on the news somewhere in Africa with my license plates still on it 😕
I own a Lexus TX and it easily fits in my garage.
@@CK-1000 it doesn’t in ours. I measured it out and there is no way the door will close unless I pin it right into the back wall. Our neighbor down the street traded in their old Highlander for a new Grand Highlander now sits on the street in front of their house because it won’t fit in their detached garage in the back lane 🤷♂️
@@Fabulousprofound168 dang that sucks. Obviously garage size depends on the builder, the area, type of home, age of home etc etc. But yeah the TX fits in our garage with 6 or 7 feet to spare.
@@CK-1000 my garage is way too small, it barely fits my type R, and it was "only" built in 1986
@@ShaiyanHossain I honestly forgot how small garages are in older homes. And the 80s was an era before gigantic SUVs became a thing
It’s a 31 speaker bang and olufsen system in the type-s the rest get the 19 speaker system
Can’t believe it only has 31 speakers. If only it had 57, it would actually sound good
@@jwltiger3357 ridiculous, they should’ve just put a Bluetooth speaker instead since they want to be stingy
In my humble opinion the real advantage to the 3.0 liter turbo V6 over the naturally aspirated 3.5 V6 is the 3.0liter Turbo does NOT have cylinder deactivation. If you want to keep a car long term never buy a vehicle with with any type of cylinder deactivation.
You have no data to back up your claim.
@@mrsj1417 it’s called knowledge and research.
@@mrsj1417If you can’t be civil or engage in adult conversation, don’t comment.
@@FirstHillSeattle if you have a différence in opinion provide the data.
@@brianb4501 that’s not how it works. Look I can’t teach you how to be a rational friendly human. But it starts with engaging in a conversation by offering facts, not just slinging mud. The original post was educational to me and I was able to find a couple of articles about the topic.. You just want to be negative and offer nothing.
21 mpg hwy is awful this day and age. The Explorer ST makes 45 more hp and gets 26 hwy, and it's 10 grand cheaper and RWD based.
True but it is garbage.
@gordonschiff3621 Tell me why it's garbage instead of blanket statements. I gave several reasons why it's not garbage.
I like the ST, but no big ecoboost gets great mpg. And if you baby it, why did you get the ST in the first place?
You get eco or boost…not both. Staple of the engine line for the last 13 years now.
@@SteveLord Sort of like the old racing adage: Good, cheap & fast. Pick any two.
Why didn’t you put it on the rollers Tommy? You’re losing your way with these videos.
The car might be 2024 but you are 1980😂😂 .
Your dad's picture !
What happened to the exhaust demo lol
Your body language is hysterical
75k is a lot. For an extra 20k, you can get an Audi SQ7 with over 500hp and that’s a powerhouse. Plus it’s 10 times more fun to drive.
If one doesn’t need the 7 passenger, the X5 is a perfect SUV to buy.
$20k is quite a bit of money though
personally at the $95k mark I'm going BMW x7 for a hauler.
The S type has 31 speakers, not 19.
The new B&O uses cheaper speakers than older ELS. B&O are literally cheap Chinese speakers. They say made in China on them.
@@ryanb8736 Buicks and Polestars are made in China. Being made in China in and of itself does not mean inferior. However, I’d take a car made in America with Chinese speakers over an entire car made in China any day.
@@FirstHillSeattle Acura cut back on manufacturing costs. That’s a bad thing. That means all the great companies helping manufacturer parts for this are now made in China. Not just the speakers.
No spare.. Wow!! .. The Mazda Miata don't have a spare either.. but it's a lot smaller car and this is a family car.
You said it has 19 speakers. Wrong. It is 31 in your type s
Great price, for a premium vehicle.
Why won't Honda/Acura offer a tow package with this type S model? They forget about the many campers out there. And don't just give me a 5000 lbs rating. It needs to be 7500. Putting the better option for me is a Toyota Sequoia.
Great job Acura
See you at the dealership
Thanks for closing the right side of the hood, it was bugging me. 😊
Hopefully the tuning on the 10spd is better than it is in my ‘24 Pilot. It has the worst trans tuning of any car I’ve ever owned. 😢
buy a zf8 product
I mean this really has no competition with regards to what you said, the amg are way more money and M sports
Because they're way better. This isn't even close.
Gas mileage is a joke. CX90 is better.
The biggest surprise for 2025 MY is the 30 year old engine wuth a timing belt under the hood of all but the highest nobody buys it trim.
Cringe review
Ill buy this in 4 years half the price
Surprisingly don't see them much at all here in SF bay area. Everyone is driving Model Y or X. See a lot more GX460/470 that this MDX. Personally I take GX550 over this and I am a Honda guy.
I thought I was gonna get a GX550 until I sat in it. The use of space is atrocious. It feels about as big as an FJ Cruiser even though it is enormous on the outside. Ended up going MDX simply for space for our family.
$76.5 is insane for an MDX. I would get an R1S, X5 ,Q7 or GLE for that kind of money.
Why no spare tire
The info screen doesn't look very good.
Why is this 1970s enamel bathtub paint color so popular now? I don't get it.
Thank you!
Retro bathroom chic?
75k and no power folding seats? 🤔
I've seen 5 reviews of this very car, acura won't let any of them actually drive it... Lol
2025 MDX type-s will be TH-cam driven in due time. Lots of 2024 reviews out there though. It's a normal model year update...hint, hint...it hasn't changed much.
$76K is way too much money. Auto manufacturers need to lower their pricing. So they took space from the second row to get some space in the third row. Not a fan! There are much better options out there. A fulll EV would be a much better option.
Allow me to show you our Cadillac Lyric clone ZDX on the other side of the showroom.
Or even better, the Nissan Ariya EV for a lot less money. $185.mointh with $0 down for 24 months.
Thirsty engine. They should start looking at hybrid powertrains. Digital cluster looks dated. It's for Acura to up to the plate and start give more offerings.
Tommy must be doing too many tik tok videos and shorts. The high pitch intros and exaggerated movements are starting to look comical
Sorry 70k+ is insane
I would pay extra to get one DE-GOOGLED. Can you imagine how much they make selling driving details if not also personal info?
I don’t care
Acura has lost their way. The type S should have 400+ hp. Nice vehicle and looks great but way too high for what you get. Acura needs to step up their game or lower the price. Way too expensive for what it is.
I have type s 2023 top speed 109 is a shame pay for premium and don't haven't . I don't advice no one to purchase. If you buy is no tune available for mdx type s . If I one to swap for another v. I lose more the 10k . Don't buy . Is my advice
You lost me at “Sinister black trim”
You could spec the "wholesome benevolent black trim". It doesn't cost any more.
I’ll buy a used one in 3 years for 45k
🏁🏁🏁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Acura sells 40-50k a year which is fine.
It's not a hit, it's not struggling.....its fine.
It's looks are also fine. It's not beautiful or cool.
It's not too safe and timid. It's fine.
MDX is better buy than BMW. They gona hold value better than BMW and not gona be money pit.
Lose the face eating bangs 😊
Nice ride, but that price point is about $20k too high. My Ram hemi 4wd gets better gas mileage.
Acura need to bring back the boxy car style, no headroom at all...pass
$75k for a Honda with lipstick? I don’t think so.
Did you see that fancy eye liner? 👁
That's why you put children in the back
I always thought that was what the roof rack was for.
acura there is still no rear ac vents instead they mounted speakers , underfloor vent doesn do justice during this freaking heat .. but honda pilot has it ..
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just my $.02..Looks okay to me, but nothing special, and I'm not interested in looking like a million other MDXs. Barely has more power than my old '03 Infiniti FX, and doesn't look as good.
I miss the old FX… Infiniti today has lost its way 😢
@@Fabulousprofound168 Agreed. I loved my ‘03 FX45, and kept it for nine years. Infiniti doesn’t have anything of interest these days. The only problem I ever had with the FX was a headlight ballast that they wanted $700 to replace…that’s $700 in 2010 dollars. Told ‘em I’d tape a flashlight to the hood before I paid that. Managed to find one online for $200.
It doesn't have the tech or the speed of the Tesla for the money. Try again.
You don’t dress up for your audience or videos
How bout a little young sporty casual? Just wondering
The Acura motor company would agree 😅
Continental tires…cheap cheap cheap.
How does it stack against Audi Q8
Q8 is only a 5 passenger. It feels a little more athletic. X5 is another great performer for same price. Get the base B58. Awesome drivetrain in that.
@@ryanb8736 x5 is two row only, otherwise i agree
Please Acura get rid of the ugly front ends. Every model looks the same. All ugly.
I almost got this over a trackhawk. Thank god I didn’t.
Mazda CX-70 or CX-90 would be a better choice and value
It got smoked by this car in a performance test
Folks are getting 12 mpg, is this true?
You turbo and stand on it you might get into single digits. That's the "dark side" of the dark art of turbo charging. No free lunch or power allowed.
QX60 interior makes this look cheap.
That looks like an overdone Pathfinder
You have to stop creating videos like this. Sounds like a dealer trying to push this vehicle on a customer. Painful to watch 😢
Car salesman try to sound excited about every Vehicle. He doesn’t, so is nice to hear that in his tone, that way we know is a good car, car salesman can’t be trusted but I trust his dad.
Car Reviewers explain the vehicles more thoroughly at a slower pace than the car salesman. The car salesman is on the job. That being said, time is money. Videos like these are awesome. I bought my 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid based off of a car review and then me going to the dealership test driving the car and making the purchase. I know the new Civic Hybrid has way more power but power isnt important to me.
just proves my point that this is not s real review but a promotional video.
@@Blazackwelcome to TH-cam. The goal is to gather information, filter out the BS, and then make your own decision.
Who said you have to watch it…🫏🤡
Lexus TX is not minivan like
I test drove a Grand Highlander and the first thing that came to mind was that it drove like a Sienna minivan, minus the sliding doors… I hope the TX isn’t the same 😓
@@Fabulousprofound168 yeah they're worse minivans, what were you expecting, a sports car? the germans may interest you
Just the amazing third row in the TX solt of counters this. Several reviewers have said that the GH/TX is two sliders away from perhaps the best AWD minivan on the market.
These newer Acuras/Hondas are poor quality. Their best years were back in the 80s and 90s. I have owned Acuras/Hondas for 4 decades but last 10 years have gravitated towards Toyotas. Toyotas are absolutely overbuilt vehicles.
new toyotas are also built poorly
Over priced!! I would rather buy a Tesla Y performance and dust this car all day long . 😂
Far too many gimmicks. No one buys an Acura SUV for “sport mode”. This is a Mommy mobile!
they should buy minivans :)
Somebody might but they wouldn't use it very often, imo.
It's nice, but it's over priced. Bad value.
Compared to what?
You could actually cut and paste that comment on every new car review on TH-cam. Well, not the "It's nice" part, but you get the point.
Unbelievably overpriced, no storage space, horrible mileage. Not seeing an upside to this one. Are you getting paid to review this?
Uh Lexus TX 500 also $70k+, BMW X5 with matching features $80k+, Volvo XC90 Ultimate $70k+, Lexus GX550 Luxury $80k, Mercedes GLS $110k+, Toyota Sequoia Plat $73k+....And MDX has better storage than the GX, Sequoia, X5, XC90. Only the TX has better space but zero sporting nature. Believe me, I've testdriven all of them and the MDX is a surprisingly good balance
@@robertt8654 yeah an x7 is better but a similarly specced 40i x7 is now $90k+
if you want to go fast with a 60i its already $110k+
Instant unsub.
"and it actually sounds pretty good as well, which we’re going to show you here in a second" ..except you never did.🫤
