Thanks Joe for all the videos you post. I almost always watch your review everyday. Two things I've learnt from you is that you need consistency and passion for what you love to do in life. I like the motivation and energy you have for doing what you do. Great job Raiti's Rides family.
It has been a minute since I have watched any videos on this channel. Last time I watched, he was a little over 200k subscribers. Man....Joe has been hustling putting out review after review. Nice to see him approaching 1million subscribers.
The SH-AWD makes a world of difference in these cars, especially in corners. Totally worth it, even in warm/dry climates. Either way, the MDX has always been one of the more athletic midsize crossovers.
@@paul562 the demographic for Lexus is older people. It's not surprising they still have CD players in their cars. Toyota sells reliability, they don't change too much.
I had the A-Spec for 4 months. Great vehicle. But as soon as the Type S was available, I traded it in. I now have a Type S Advance. I love it!!! It’s such a well rounded vehicle.
Do you see a huge driving difference? if you don’t mind answering. I own a 2020 Rdx a spec and it drives like a dream. Was going to trade it in when the 2022 MDX’s came out and was very disappointed with the power compared to the Rdx. Test drove the advanced Type S once and still noticed a small lag in it
@@chrisespinosa2886 between the A-spec and Type S Advance, yes I notice a driving difference. It rides better, it’s more comfortable all around. I normally drive it ‘normal’ mode, but one turn to sport or sport + and it really does come alive. I know a lot of people say it needs more power, but I’m not drag racing anyone. It’s really the perfect balance.
Nice review! That looks like my MDX. Same color, tech pkg, 2022. First review I have seen that shows why the UI for infotainment makes perfect sense. No need to reach out to the screen. Very intuitive and convenient. Double wishbone suspension rocks btw. I usually drive it normal and switch to sport for twists and turns. My average mpg is 23 for 20k miles so far. 80% highway, 93 octane.
Good review Joe. My wife had an MDX 2010. They have improved the interior a lot. The tech keeps the price competitive with upper level Ford, Toyota etc. The higher cost Advance and Type S gets into German price points. This tech model seems to be the sweet spot.
Zonk those non-painted fender parts Joe. Great review as usual. Merry Xmas to you and all your family. Looking forward to more Raiti's Rides in 2023. Cheers from Ontario Canada.
I pulled the trigger last week on the MDX. Initially, from browsing on the both websites, my intent was to get the Q60. Both my wife and I agreed, we liked its luxury look in and out, but when we went to both dealers, sitting inside the vehicles changed our perspective. The Q60 STILL looked great on the outside, but when we stepped inside the difference was night and day. What is boils down to was personal choice. We first went to Acura and we felt like a pilot behind the controls. We had no issues with the touchpad...it felt totally natural leaning back and navigating the screen. Then we went to Infiniti....the exterior still looked fantastic, but then we stepped inside...we both looked at each other and knew instantly that the Q60 wouldn't be for us. We just didn't get that huggy cockpit feeling...and I am a buttons and lights kind of person. Both cars looked great, but the MDX was more our taste even though its exterior wasn'tas luxurious looking. But it had enough style and atheletic look to satisfy us. So we returned and made our deal with Acura.
@Dawn King I share that sentiment about every vehicle. They are all overpriced hunks of fiberglass, and the moment you drive off the lot, you discover how much overpriced they all are. You just have to find the vehicle you want that you can afford. If it has the features important to you and the design that's your speed, and you can afford it...then...I say buy it. You only live once, and what's the point of leaving money around for inflation to eat away or for Wall Street to steal. I say be smart and have a 20 year nest egg put aside that allows you to live and travel comfortably if you aren't working...then buy whatever you want with the rest of your money because if you don't spend it the government sure will. That's my motto, to live below my means. So I don't buy or invest in anything I can't afford to lose the next day. These vehicles aren't worth more than $40,000.00, so you are absolutely correct!!!
Our experience was exactly the opposite,. We thought the MDX looked better but had terrible infotainment. The qx60 was much better both on the touchscreen and dial. The console is more luxurious and better laid out. The only thing we liked better on the MDX was the removable middle seat.
@sivryn1 And therein lies the reason for why both these vehicles exist...to give choices that appeal to our varied tastes. Imagine if we didn't have options? I guess we wouldn't know any different, right? 😀 Glad you are happy with the QX60!!
You are hysterical!! Great detailed review. I just test drove the MDX today and the Lexus RX 350 hybrid. The MDX felt like you were in a cockpit, and it was fun to drive. But the engine sounded loud to me. I am very concerned about the MPG, plus the premium gasoline. But i love how roomy it feels in the back seat and all that potential cargo space to load up at HomeGoods😂 The Lexus display screen is large and touchscreen, where MDX is not. That seems to be a big point of contention in the comments. I love the fact that it is a hybrid and the MPG. Torn between two lovers...
I just bought a 2023 MDX tech package 2 months ago. Love the car for the most part. 2 things I dislike are the lack of touch screen. The touch pad is fine as a 1:1 true touch for all acura functions but it is not 1:1 true touch for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto which is extremely annoying and they don't tell you this before the fact. You have to swipe each time on every button on Apple CarPlay which can get very distracting while driving. The 2nd thing I dislike is the fuel economy is not as it says. I have been driving in comfort mode in the city and get between 14-17 MPG only. I have never reached 19 in the city despite keeping auto start/stop on and driving normally. It does improve on the highway but I have not taken it long distance yet. Otherwise it is a beautiful car and practical/family friendly.
This Acura MdX I've always liked Joe, especially the redesign for 2022. Great work as always Stephen and Joe and Lori👍I've been hearing a lot about these two new models coming called the CDX amd the ZDX. Can you clarify these two for me Joe on what they are exactly?
Currently I have a TLX with the same infotainment set up and I can say I'm not a fan. You do get use to it however. Im moving up to this MDX next cycle. I really like what they have done with it.
Buying the 2024 MDX w/Tech…SH-AWD…in just this color combo…added the heated steering wheel. Dealer installed he accessory. Acura throws in the first 2 years of maintenance as well. I looked at the CX-90…shorter warranty, bulbous rear end is horrible, plus, first year for the drivetrain. Also looked at the Infinity…already have a Murano Platinum AWD in the stable. Appreciate all of your videos, though!
Love your reviews as always Joe. Love the Acura MDX…but I’m gonna have to ZONK that non-touchscreen infotainment screen. Mazda does the same thing and I absolutely do not like it. Especially when driving and trying to navigate the screens and functions. No heads up display for this price point in this segment is also disappointing. I love everything else on this vehicle.
Love Raiti's Rides. Joe has a background in racing so I trust his ride and handling opinions more than some other reviewers. After watching lots of reviews across different brands I've come to this conclusion. Every manufacturer requires its designers to come up with at least a few things people will hate in their car designs. Acura has done it with the track pad and the gloss black in the interior and the black wheel well cladding. Infiniti also has gloss black and they had to put those hideous fake exhaust/skid plates on the rear of the QX60. Try to find one manufacturer who doesn't put some "wtf" design elements in their models.
I have a 2008 Acura MDX Sport Package with 120K. Love ❤️ it. Only problem is the gas mileage. Very nice vehicles they are ,I can just imagine how much better the 2023 one is
Loving my 2022 MDX Advance! Drove all competitors and the drive rivaled BMW, AUDI and Mercedes! I’m not saying it is as powerful, but as far as handling it was just as fun to drive. When you compare top trims with those vehicles the MDX is much more affordable!
Be honest, it drives better than all of them. I was on the highway with some company in Sport mode, accelerated and he commented "I never heard an SUV that sounded like a Mustang".
As a long time Acura owner and now a 23 QX60, Infiniti much better. After comparing the MDX to the QX60, the 60 is superior. Glad we went with it. Getting rid of the CVT was the best call Infiniti made. Came close to getting the MDX but decided to check out the QX60. No buyers remorse the day after taking delivery. Got it 2k under MSRP.
Same here. The MDX’s infotainment is a mess. Who does a touchpad in 2023? The console is poorly laid out too. The biggest button is the drive/sport button. The qx60 felt more luxurious and has a great infotainment system. Wish they didn’t divide the screen though. I like full screen CarPlay. MDX does the same thing. We planned to buy an MDX and wound up with a qx60
I had a chance to drive the 2023 acura mdx a spec.... for 2 weeks only man what a ride. Hopefully when the value goes down definitely will go for it. As always good review keep it up 😊
I hate the non-touch infotainment screen and I really hate the fake mouse-like choice picker. Give me an Infiniti Autograph QX60 Infiniti any day of the week. The interior of this car is gorgeous and yes it has a touch screen and the best color heads-up display that I ever saw. It's really a classy family car that anyone could be proud of along with some of the best safety tech out there.
This is the best all a-rounder! Great handling, enough tech/features, enough luxury, enough power, decent MPG, good amount of room, and good looks. To top it all off, it’s priced great!
@@limitedreach4446 its a acura designed and made in murca, not made in japan with japanese reliability, it isnt performance oriented, fwd biased, not even 300 hp, mpg is the same as the competition or worse, hyundai and kia has more room inside for cheaper, towing is trash compared to americans and germans, price is trash compared to toyota and the koreans
Joe... don't zonk those black fender edges...lol. I believe they put up to make the wheels looked bigger and beefier 😅 Just visual effect design scheme.
He zonks every design detail he doesn't like. I understand the obvious fake vents on the front of vehicles, but he zonks a rear "fake vent". Those are just a design theme and not even meant to be venting for it to be fake. They would look dumb as flat black as he would prefer. He also zonks the rear wipers that aren't "tucked under" the spoiler. A wiper coming down from the top doesn't clear the window very well to allow for proper and decent visibility. In this case, function is more important than design. He zonks them every time anyways.
On a premium brand suv especially their top seller as well as the best selling luxury suv in the segment of all time, those black wheel well covers simply look cheap and don't belong. You are correct. They should be painted!
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 *LOVE this new 2023 Acura MDX* !! *Really like Honda/Acura* !! *Yes, it is much better than the Infiniti QX60* !! *Steven Flood ALWAYS does a superb job on the video* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Mazda CX9 Signature is just as nice and has a nicer dash and features! Crazy how Mazda made this formula back in 2016! All these Japanese automakers are using the CX9 as their benchmark. The middle center seat removal is very cool though!
Enjoy your reviews and sense of humor! Drove this today. Materials/fit and finish are really nice! A little less space than pilot, and slightly fewer features for 5k more but nicer on the inside. Seems like a Pilot Touring in terms of features, slightly smaller, but much nicer. Space, features, and 💵 or nicer interior? Does the tech package have a spare tire?
I already had lunch I don't need to eat my legs..funny..I hav 23 A-SPEC THE OTHER BLUE lov it...goes well with my c8 corvette...I wacth all your videos joe the master
The problem with acura is they make you go to the advance package to have everything like head up display cool seat. And foward camera. Sometime idon’t understand thieir trims.
I have a 2012 Acura RDX TURBO. I love it but I now have 4 teenagers. I need something bigger!!! This like my dream car, I want it so bad!! I just hope this one isn’t premium gas.
I've had the 22 MDX tech for 1.5 yrs, absolutely not bulletproof for reliability. Major electrical harness system issues corrosion, steering wheel column issue with motor, I haven't driven mine for 3 months. Not bulletproof
Love that blue....But it's missing so many features for a Luxury vehicle....Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy has heated/cooled front AND rear seats. Integrated 12 inch in-dash touch screen. HUD. 110v plug for the rear seats. USBs in 3rd row. An actual usable 3rd row for adults. Napa leather seats. $5-10k more for Acura. I'm a Honda fan....but for this to be next level, this ain't it. Always enjoy your reviews...Great Work !!!
Very dubious about what is under the hood of the Palisade. Lots of plastic and old school Hyundai technology with questionable reliability and longevity.
It bests the Infiniti with the transmission Fathom Blue is tasteful Exterior design looks amazing Nice interior however the gloss black is a bit too much!
I've been eyeing a QX60 in the moonbow blue but, like Acura and so many other manufacturers, they play the combo games where you can only get certain interior/exterior color combinations in different packages which really is annoying. Hard to find my preferred combos amongst them.
Wait are the side air curtains fake on the Type S as well? I'm leaning towards the Defender but ... the rumors are Land Rover is not Reliable. Anyone have experience in Land Rover?
The screen Needs to be touch screen and bit bigger and the software does not makes since for not using full screen with maps and hope fully better Mpg, also rear view mirror needs to be update to digital besides that love this car
This is a killer car! Just be careful, if you live in very cold climates, the infotainment /electrical system has been noted to malfunction without resolution or a fix from Acura. Look this up and see for yourself!
I just bought the 2023 MDX A-Spec used with only 6,600 miles for $47,500, 😊 love the ride .
Damn sweet deal

On a premium brand suv especially their top seller as well as the best selling luxury suv in the segment of all time, those black wheel well covers simply look cheap and don't belong. You are correct. They should be painted!
ZONK
Joe I love this car, after watching your video I want it,esta muy duro
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 *LOVE this new 2023 Acura MDX* !! *Really like Honda/Acura* !! *Yes, it is much better than the Infiniti QX60* !! *Steven Flood ALWAYS does a superb job on the video* !! #RaitisRides 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Thank you Susan for sharing your thoughts and your awesome support!
And a lot more expensive.
Mazda CX9 Signature is just as nice and has a nicer dash and features! Crazy how Mazda made this formula back in 2016! All these Japanese automakers are using the CX9 as their benchmark. The middle center seat removal is very cool though!
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2022 Genesis GV80 3.5T Prestige
Are you able to remove the 3rd row? Seems silly in a car this size
Enjoy your reviews and sense of humor! Drove this today. Materials/fit and finish are really nice! A little less space than pilot, and slightly fewer features for 5k more but nicer on the inside. Seems like a Pilot Touring in terms of features, slightly smaller, but much nicer. Space, features, and 💵 or nicer interior? Does the tech package have a spare tire?
That Blue!!! 👍👊🍻
Tell me about it Andrew!
This MDX is great and all, but that stop sign really needs to be painted..
5 sisters is crazy
😂
I already had lunch I don't need to eat my legs..funny..I hav 23 A-SPEC THE OTHER BLUE lov it...goes well with my c8 corvette...I wacth all your videos joe the master
The problem with acura is they make you go to the advance package to have everything like head up display cool seat. And foward camera. Sometime idon’t understand thieir trims.
I have a 2012 Acura RDX TURBO. I love it but I now have 4 teenagers. I need something bigger!!! This like my dream car, I want it so bad!! I just hope this one isn’t premium gas.
I've had the 22 MDX tech for 1.5 yrs, absolutely not bulletproof for reliability. Major electrical harness system issues corrosion, steering wheel column issue with motor, I haven't driven mine for 3 months. Not bulletproof
Can you provide update/status? Seriously considering a slightly used one.
Agree on the fender zonk. Should be painted.
Love that blue....But it's missing so many features for a Luxury vehicle....Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy has heated/cooled front AND rear seats. Integrated 12 inch in-dash touch screen. HUD. 110v plug for the rear seats. USBs in 3rd row. An actual usable 3rd row for adults. Napa leather seats. $5-10k more for Acura. I'm a Honda fan....but for this to be next level, this ain't it. Always enjoy your reviews...Great Work !!!
Yet not even the Calligraphy trim has power folding mirrors. ZONK!
Very dubious about what is under the hood of the Palisade. Lots of plastic and old school Hyundai technology with questionable reliability and longevity.
It bests the Infiniti with the transmission
Fathom Blue is tasteful
Exterior design looks amazing
Nice interior however the gloss black is a bit too much!
fender openings should always be body color and material. Especially in a luxury car
Tech Package needs to include SURROUNDVIEW CAMERA
I love a touch screen. It's easier than the little pad, and I can use it without looking.
I like this blue color but if the Infiniti didn't look so good would buy this ASAP.
I've been eyeing a QX60 in the moonbow blue but, like Acura and so many other manufacturers, they play the combo games where you can only get certain interior/exterior color combinations in different packages which really is annoying. Hard to find my preferred combos amongst them.
Infiniti has cvt transmission, I would be scared buying those
Hands Crossed With a Vengeance !!! 💯🙂
Wait are the side air curtains fake on the Type S as well? I'm leaning towards the Defender but ... the rumors are Land Rover is not Reliable. Anyone have experience in Land Rover?
I love this SUV. Always have! Best all around luxury SUV.
The screen Needs to be touch screen and bit bigger and the software does not makes since for not using full screen with maps and hope fully better Mpg, also rear view mirror needs to be update to digital besides that love this car
Honda still using a timing belt?
You continue to entertain me. Regardless, for the money, I'd definitely hit the Hyundai Pal aside! Acura tends to overprice all of their vehicles.
Considered Q7, X5, RX , MDX and ended up with an MDX ASpec for $60k as it felt the best out of all those due to comfort and long term reliability.
What about Infiniti qx60?
I think the infinity is great suv , but we didn’t think of it at the time
This is a killer car! Just be careful, if you live in very cold climates, the infotainment
/electrical system has been noted to malfunction without resolution or a fix from Acura. Look this up and see for yourself!
My cousin has a gray MDX type S
Your cousin is a lucky guy!
Love the vehicle just hate it when they throw what looks like an regular ipad for the stereo and etc.always looks like it easy be knocked off

Anyone notice that the passenger side mirror turn signal was barely visible blinking? That’s not good
I think that the MDX is more the sporty drive SUV and the QX60 more the comfy and luxury car to drive, both are good in their class.
That's why I choose infiniti. For sports, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi are way more sporty than Acura.
Now with the new infiniti QX60 without CVT Tranny I'll take the Infiniti.
If you move the rear wiper up, it may look great but don't work or clean as good.
Great car great experience and great drive.
I hope Adidas is a sponsor for Raiti’s Rides. Nice shirt Joe!
I freaking wish! LOL
