Beautiful SUV from front to back with a stunning interior - combined with Acura’s reputation for reliability means their unit sales will continue increasing. Nicely done review, guys - have owned several Acuras in the past & was never disappointed! Cheers!
Awesome review on a truly exciting vehicle. If I may add - it’s understandable that you didn’t mention it because your review was during the daytime, but a very cool feature in the 2022 MDX is interior Accent (ambient) Theme Lighting throughout. You can choose from 27 different themes in the Advance and it looks amazing when you’re driving around at night. Love it in mine (Fathom Blue Pearl/Graystone). 👍
It looks much more upscale than before, like a true luxury product. The interior is an bigger leap for Acura. Now come spring/summer, when the Type S versions of this MDX and the TLX arrive, the real excitement will begin.
For a long time now, I have thought there was nothing that could get me out of my CX-9. You guys are on your way to proving me wrong about that. It’s beautiful and it’s more of a vehicle than I have, but it’s very expensive. Thanks for the great review. Cheers
Yeah, but I would rather have my entertainment system that I have on my current MDX Advance. It’s no longer an option with the pano roof which I would keep closed most of the time anyway.
I bought this last month (Advance) , my first MDX - and I love it! I owned two RDXs before jumping up to the newly redesigned MDX. Having a lot of fun driving it. :)
Do you love how you can’t answer a phone call without scrolling in the call menu? Do you also love how you can’t even hang up without going to the same menu? It’s hard to believe there’s no call button and the voice activation button doesn’t do double duty as one.
Thanks again for such great detail explanation on this suv.. A couple of years ago I was looking for a Volvo XC60 and you helped me on that decision. After my volvo I'm planning on getting this Acura MDX. Also hoping on financing it to keep for many years to come. Thanks again 👍
I agree on all and third row heated seats. Some features are probably coming to Type S and mid cycmye refresh like cooled rear seats, cooler box, pwer fold down to rear seats etc
@My Pets no one sits in the second row either apparently. Explain why the hell the 2022 MDX advance has much worse second row than the previous generation?
Love your review of the new MDX. I almost bought a 2022 MDX A-Spec recently but decided to wait for the Type S, and with the chip shortage, that might be a six-month wait...or longer.
GREAT JOB, Car Confections. A thorough and well done review. About to trade in our 5th MDX, and take home a 6th (possibly an Advanced), after this review! THANKS!
Woah, this car is amazing for a family SUV! I can't wait for the Type S! Also, I like how the rear design harkens back to the old RDX from 2008! Great review as always :)
In a upcoming SUV comparison video maybe you guys can compare the Acura MDX in the Advance trim level and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L in the Summit Reserve trim level. If not those two trims then maybe the Technology trim for the MDX and the Overland trim for the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. This will be a very interesting comparison if it takes place.
I think this new MDX is awesome. I will shop it soon when I am looking for a family vehicle. I do think one huge miss on the 7K advance package is massage seats. They should be in that package. All of the German rivals have them as an option and they make difference on long road trips. Other than that, not much to criticize. The touchpad may have a learning curve. Saw one on the road and looks really big compared to the previous generation.
After test driving the new MDX Advance and Genesis GV80 a couple times, I bought the Genesis 2.5T with the prestige package. I never test drove the Audi Q7. The Audi cost more with equivalent features compared to other vehicles and when I told the salesperson I just test drove the MDX and Q7 she said. "Ahh so you are just kicking tires" and then proceed to walk away.
They aren’t even remotely in the same stratosphere. The GV80 is head and shoulders beyond the MDX. The MDX however is considerably more spacious. That’s about all I can think of since the feature list is rather plebeian for a 2022.
Love it! The only complaints for me is 3rd row needs more space and AC vents. Lastly, 2nd row definitely needs ventilated seats since that's kind of standard. A+ but optional is if the engine just had a little bit more HP or torque it would be one of the Best luxury SUV hands down. *Edit: Totally forgot about the Type S whoops lmao
The 22 White MDX is beautiful. saw a 4cylinder MDX with the Tech package on a used car lot here in Ga. It was a 2020 and I was totally surprised to see that. Will Acura make more 4 cylinder MDX's in their fleet or were they just kinda experimenting? It had great performance. Reply
CC: You and others don't mention if there is a CD player? My current 2019 MDX does, and allows me to copy all CDs to the internal Hard Disk ? I do love the design changes ,but not the Touch Pad ... Does the Tech Package include Remote Start? My Remote start turns on the heated steering wheel, the heated seats and a the rear defroster in certain weather conditions, which is great feature. In the summer heat, it turns on the ventilated / cool seats too.
Howdy, excellent review as always y’all! Acura might not be as revolutionary as Genesis, but they are definitely pumping out some excellent cars! Infinity and Lexus need to play some catch up, and the Germans, Brits, and Sweeds might want to watch there back! I will say even though they didn’t do much with the power train, it didn’t really need it. In fact, my only power train complaint was the horrible ZF 9 Speed, which they got rid of! I do wish they’d made the 3rd row a bit better, but you can’t ask for everything, especially considering the competitive pricing!😸😸
On a quality perspective, my dads fully loaded 2017 RX350 (he has the rare model with the high-end leather and wood steering wheel only available in 2017), is of much higher pedigree than the new MDX. Everything from the paint to the interior details to the fit and finish is much better. Even the camera on the 360 has more options (panning) than on the 2022 MDX.
Although never an Acura owner, I always have a good impression on Acura, especially on its reliability, practicality and design (of some generations). I can see Acura's effort again on this new gen MDX. But my opinion that in order for Acura to improve its luxury game, there are a few more things it should do: larger and wider wheels (see X5 for example). Body-colored wheel fenders, not black plastics. This will lower the center of gravity to people's eyes, giving it a more sporty look. Leather/leatherette wrapped dashboard and door panels, or at least use some fake stitching. Those rough-grained plastic on the door panels are unacceptable nowadays. Of course, lots of these I mentioned are considered as impractical, unnecessary or even ugly. But other companies are doing these with success. If you cant lead fashion, then follow it.
I'm pretty sure it's not hard for them to do that. I believe the reason why they didn't do it is because they know that most people probably will not be using the 3rd roll anyways. But if they listen to the consumers, I think there is a very good chance that they will include that in the refresh model.
@@AlaskanSnowLeopard they didn’t do it because they tried to cut costs. If you actually go to the dealership and look at the new MDX it’s quite disappointing especially compared to lesser priced vehicles like the Palisade and the Telluride. Consider that they are selling above sticker price and the lease prices are obscene. For less money you can get a decently equipped X5, a new LR Discovery, a base model GLE 4Matic, Lincoln Aviator Premium, not to mention the new pathfinder offers a lot more capabilities for a lot less not too mention the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L. I don’t see the advantage in the MDX.
@@ahf5471 you are correct. Cut costs is the true reason why, and what I stated before was just a good excuse for them not to do it. But like I said if they listen to their consumer there is a very good chance that they will include that feature on the refresh model. I'm pretty sure that all the vehicles that you mentioned have their own flaw and areas where they cut costs also. No vehicle is perfect at any given price range.
I wonder do Acura still have this feature were if all the windows are closed and the doors are locked and if you press open on the key fob and press open again and hold and then all the windows and sun roof opens all at the same time I was just wondering did they keep that feature ?
A little Mazda here, a little Volvo there, however I think Acura did exactly what they needed to do to keep their bread and butter vehicle current. While I do wish they would have abandoned the 20+ year old J-Series V6(and I deplore 2.0Ts, but Honda makes one of the best) in favor for a slightly detuned 3.0T coming up in the Type-S, there is enough here to be excited about. I do wish that Acura would not force A-Spec buyers to choose between it or the Advance to get some of the interior features of the Advance. Overall, this thing will sell like mad. @Car Confecions: What is that I hear? Is that a MDX vs GV80 comparison on the horizon? Too bad it is going to be tough to find a 3rd row GV80 because it is so limited in its offering.
I just see black A-Spec package at my local dealership today, it’s a nice SUV but the sales man said the sticker price is 57k but dealer ask for 65k...
Nice car overall, very reliable engine with a very good AWD system(SH-AWD) but overpriced at 62k . Looked at this very model a couple of days ago and it had to much cheap plastic.
Except that the larger 3rd row seated Cadillac XT6 beats the 2022 MDX by about a second in Motor Trend handling course. The XT6 also gets TSP+ and tops MDX with 310 hp!
since they designed the screen far back , for safety reason they have to use a mouse pad .It’s dangerous for the driver to reach out far to use the screen 😁
@@curiously1510 bro people make the touchpad seem too bad. i have had the touchpad for a year now and it’s not that bad. takes a learning curve but it’s fine. people sit in the car for 2 hours and make a verdict that doesn’t make sense...
@@VelocitronVoyager that is exactly the issue. An infotainment system should not require a learning curve. It should be intuitive with minimal effort or distractions. Anything else is inexcusable in a premium vehicle.
@@VelocitronVoyager it is bad, it’s everything people say it is. I’ve had my Advance for over a week and I’m still very uncomfortable. Do you know Acura removed the call button? You have to answer and hang up on phone calls from the scrolling menu. This is one of the most absurd fails I have ever seen.
I think its nice......should have released the type S at the same time so that the choice was immediate. Also when anyone does a 1st year redesign i think there should be a discount or added warranty because your basically the "real world" tester for their product. And most 1st year products are not recommended due to issues being worked out. I am on my 4th Acura so i am very familiar with the product. Such a price difference with this right now compared to outgoing 2020 MDX they are practically giving away.
ME-TRYING TO GET INFO ON THE 2022 MDX MY CAT WHOS TAKING UP CAPS LOCK AND I CANT GET OFF CAPS LOCK BECAUSE HIS PAW IS STUCK THERE.(SORRY FOR CAPS LOCK)
2022 Acura MDX should ADD (1) 2nd row console (Previous MDX). Both Rear Seat Monitor for kids (2) Touch Screen (3) 3rd row VENT. Not sure IF 3rd row has both USB. If NO then ADD. That should do it…
My uncle almost bought one of these, but declined because the touchpad like interface replaced the touchscreen, and the dual screen in the previous generation was removed. He went with a passport elite, saved $18k, and got a vehicle with enough tech to make an Acura blush, but isn't overloaded with unnecessary touch crap. Beautiful car, shame about the insistence on a touchpad.
Thank you. After watching this and your Toyota Highlander Platinum videos, I’m torn. Is the Advance worth the extra money over the Platinum? It seems like apples to oranges to compare Acura and Toyota, but I’d love to know if the price difference is mostly for the Acura name.
Acura just sold me a defective 2022 MDX Lemon 4 weeks ago. Be aware of the infotainment and reliability issues before you buy: th-cam.com/video/0ebZ-CsJHlw/w-d-xo.html
I like the Acura MDX but the length is too long for my garage. Maybe Acura should consider adding an MDX model with a short length and get rid of the 3rd row seat for customers who do not need it. This will significantly reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve its gas mileage. I prefer 6 cylinders and I do not like Turbo. So, RDX is out of the question.
Great review as usual gentlemen! Disappointed to see it lacks many of the features available on the Hyundai Palisade such as a touchscreen, 2nd row ventilated seats, 3rd row power recline and air vents, and power folding 2nd and 3rd row seats. I'm trying to find an SUV that is better built yet has all the features of the Hyundai Palisade I mentioned but that seems impossible at the moment. Any suggestions are appreciated. #Subscribed
Curious what you landed on? I'm in a similar boat at the moment. I tend to lean more towards build-quality and reliability and will sacrifice features if need be.
@@Grype I tested a Toyota Highlander and was really disappointed in the ride quality, ergonomics, and cheap feeling interior. I skipped over the Hyundai Palisade due to a class action lawsuit over it's windshield cracking, and customer complaints about bad smelling seats, touchscreens dying, and incredibly poor Hyundai customer service who didn't want to help the buyers and blamed them for their vehicle problems. I then test drove a 2018 Mercedes Benz GLS550 and was blown away by the active safety features, the luxurious air ride suspension, powerful engine and torque, the impeccable fit, finish, and ergonomics, the beautiful napa leather, and the driving dynamics of a regular sedan. I bought an extended warranty for piece of mind but current GLS owners are saying for the most part you won't need it because build quality and reliability is outstanding. I would heartily recommend any GLS model if you want the best safety features along with great luxury as well.
@@Nightbird. Still not sure. The market right now is brutal. The initial thought was to finance and keep it for a while so I was leaning Toyota/Lexus or Acura. But now I'm thinking of either leasing or just waiting to be honest. Still exploring options, it's definitely good to be flexible in this market.

Yea it is
Third-row recline, vents, and USBs should all be available. I can't believe only the advance has USBs and not even vents or recline.
I agree on the USB and vents, especially considering this is a 2022 luxury SUV. Hopefully Acura can fix this for the later model years.

Only good improvement over the past is no more transmission lag otherwise it is overpriced since it leases out the same as an X5
I found several X5’s in my area that were $50-$75 per month cheaper all in on the lease. The MDX is just not worth it, it’s still very chintzy.

And most 1st year products are not recommended due to issues being worked out. I am on my 4th Acura so i am very familiar with the product. Such a price difference with this right now compared to outgoing 2020 MDX they are practically giving away.
When is the type S going to be released?
I believe sometime this summer is the latest from Acura
ME-TRYING TO GET INFO ON THE 2022 MDX
MY CAT WHOS TAKING UP CAPS LOCK AND I CANT GET OFF CAPS LOCK BECAUSE HIS PAW IS STUCK THERE.(SORRY FOR CAPS LOCK)
I cant wait until acura make a minivan!!!
Me too
This is so nice but that tablet like thing is a deal breaker.
No ambient lighting that changes colors?
Yes it has a lot of ambient lighting, 27 different colors, lighting strips on the doors, dash and footwells
I wonder if the outcome collected globally would focus any new features to boost the brand.
Help me in picking Toyota GX460 luxury or Acura MDX advance.
Which one should I buy considering reliability and crash proof and overall experience.
Lexus gx460 for reliability. 👍
Lexus GX is so outdated
Best MDX ever!!!!
How reliable is it? Is it as reliable as Lexus? Please I need answers
Nice design 👌👍
The folding mirror is great but it doesn’t play well with the cold climate.
@@88hemoglobin it freezes and can’t unfold it. This usually happened when it is really cold.
I turn this feature off during the winter months.
2022 Acura MDX should ADD (1) 2nd row console (Previous MDX). Both Rear Seat Monitor for kids (2) Touch Screen (3) 3rd row VENT. Not sure IF 3rd row has both USB. If NO then ADD. That should do it…
My uncle almost bought one of these, but declined because the touchpad like interface replaced the touchscreen, and the dual screen in the previous generation was removed. He went with a passport elite, saved $18k, and got a vehicle with enough tech to make an Acura blush, but isn't overloaded with unnecessary touch crap.
Beautiful car, shame about the insistence on a touchpad.
Thank you. After watching this and your Toyota Highlander Platinum videos, I’m torn. Is the Advance worth the extra money over the Platinum? It seems like apples to oranges to compare Acura and Toyota, but I’d love to know if the price difference is mostly for the Acura name.
I love that car
I like the MDX but the rear door speaker cover looks like it came from a Yugo
Id pick the 2021 telluride sx..
Acura just sold me a defective 2022 MDX Lemon 4 weeks ago. Be aware of the infotainment and reliability issues before you buy: th-cam.com/video/0ebZ-CsJHlw/w-d-xo.html
Damn, guess I won’t be buying this car anymore
So what ended up happening?
I like the Acura MDX but the length is too long for my garage. Maybe Acura should consider adding an MDX model with a short length and get rid of the 3rd row seat for customers who do not need it. This will significantly reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve its gas mileage. I prefer 6 cylinders and I do not like Turbo. So, RDX is out of the question.
Great review as usual gentlemen! Disappointed to see it lacks many of the features available on the Hyundai Palisade such as a touchscreen, 2nd row ventilated seats, 3rd row power recline and air vents, and power folding 2nd and 3rd row seats. I'm trying to find an SUV that is better built yet has all the features of the Hyundai Palisade I mentioned but that seems impossible at the moment. Any suggestions are appreciated. #Subscribed
Curious what you landed on? I'm in a similar boat at the moment. I tend to lean more towards build-quality and reliability and will sacrifice features if need be.
@@Grype I tested a Toyota Highlander and was really disappointed in the ride quality, ergonomics, and cheap feeling interior. I skipped over the Hyundai Palisade due to a class action lawsuit over it's windshield cracking, and customer complaints about bad smelling seats, touchscreens dying, and incredibly poor Hyundai customer service who didn't want to help the buyers and blamed them for their vehicle problems.
I then test drove a 2018 Mercedes Benz GLS550 and was blown away by the active safety features, the luxurious air ride suspension, powerful engine and torque, the impeccable fit, finish, and ergonomics, the beautiful napa leather, and the driving dynamics of a regular sedan. I bought an extended warranty for piece of mind but current GLS owners are saying for the most part you won't need it because build quality and reliability is outstanding. I would heartily recommend any GLS model if you want the best safety features along with great luxury as well.
@@Nightbird. Appreciate the thoughtful response, thank you!
@@Grype You're very welcome. What do you plan on doing?
@@Nightbird. Still not sure. The market right now is brutal. The initial thought was to finance and keep it for a while so I was leaning Toyota/Lexus or Acura. But now I'm thinking of either leasing or just waiting to be honest. Still exploring options, it's definitely good to be flexible in this market.
i think there will be a super bowl commercial for the new acura mdx
I hope
Nice remote start thank you very much on a new mdx
Mazda called and wanted their CX 9 back.
Base is not leather?
