- The all new 2022 Acura MDX Advance is a very impressive 3 row SUV that's packed with a lot of technology. There's wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360 degree camera system, a bunch of helpful driving aids, and it also comes with Acura's very first fully digital instrument cluster, the Acura Precision Cockpit. The interior has also been drastically revamped, and it now looks like an impressive luxury car. There's a lot of changes inside and underneath, so make sure you watch all the way to the end.

After watching every car reviewer on most all 3-row SUV's and also driving for a year, all luxury models, nothing even comes close to this terrific well thought out and totally inside and out remodel. Acura was smart to keep the tried and tested six and that combined with the in-house designed 10 speed just works so smoothly unlike all the competition. The only thing I drove close to this was the BMW X5, but BMW's have a bad reputation when the warranty runs out, (then you pay big time) and take a look at parts you can not find and oil changes costing many hundreds of dollars. Go to Scotty Kilmer on this one and other European models that have that sweet smell for a while, but unlike the Acura's and Lexus models just disappoint over time. Time tells all things and Acura MDX has been the number one best seller with over one million MDX's sold and this one it off the charts impressive in every way. So many things like they had a think tank in engineering etc. come together to say let's make something NO one else will ever try. They did just that and I bought this Pearl Red and even my wife of 53 years loves the color and that is the only shock I had with the MDX. My only task is now watching tutorials on how to understand a huge computer on four wheels, as tech is everywhere in the Acura MDX. Also, as an author with eight books published I can go with just the third row down and carry 40 cases of my latest book to autograph signings and still seat five or four with the back seat center pull out seat. A neat trick there too!
I’ve had my 22 Advance for a week now and I can not say how in love I am with this car. Acura is just getting better and better
Can you share how the cabin noise is? And is the air flow in the rear cabin is adequate with just the two lower vents?
Just purchased a 2022 Advance Model for my wife. Black pearl with added roof crossbars and hitch. I didn’t think too much of it at first but after driving it for a few days now I must say, it’s an absolute fantastic car. The interior quality is fantastic and the removable middle seat is great. Perfect family car. It a bit long in the front end and we are still getting used to that over our 2010 MDX. The steering wheel also feels really nice. The tech is almost overload. It will take a while to figure everything out from the safety features and settings.
My daily is a 5-series. I ll probably be sneaking away with my wife’s car a lot more often to keep “testing” the MDX out.
This reviewer is amazing...in no other reviews will you find the knowledge and detail presented here. Great job !
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like the style. Many more reviews can be found on our channel, and many more to come!
Great review- you covered things others didn’t keep up the great work 👍
Ive had my 2022 MDX for a year now and absolutely love it. It's so smooth and Apple car play is very good
Great, IN DEPTH review by Hanson. All the changes are totally tech-forward & impressive! I actually love my 2017 Acura MDX w tech package, but am waiting to first see the MDX type-S, before making a decision. I’ve been a long time believer in Honda/Acura products. Whatever you’re paying for your Acura, you can expect to pay TOO MUCH MORE in a German/European vehicle and without the long term RELIABILITY. To me SAFETY & RELIABILITY means everything. Have a nice day.
Well said bro
This is not accurate with the 2022. Go price one out in the top trim, look at the lease prices. Then consider the Type S will be over $3000 more. There’s no rebates or incentives unless you are coming from another Acura in which case you will get $1000. But the dealer will mark up the top trim especially in the rarer color schemes. It’s not 2017 anymore, you’re in for some sticker shock, especially with this car. And let me tell you, it won’t be as reliable as you think. There’s tons of early release gremlins and many half-baked, imbecilic implementations.
@@ahf5471 actually some of what you say is true but not all. I just brought a 22!A Spec in extra option color (liquid carbon) and MRSP was 58 and a half. Got it to 55k with Acura loyalty. Also your jumping the gun on the gremlins and possible reliability issue. Very subjective post
Really nice redesign and love it. Thank you.
Just drove 14 luxary SUV's this 2022 total MDX IS BY FAR THE BEST. PAID CASH TODAY FOR THE RED BABY. LOVE ACURA AND HONDA TOO! GREAT JOB ON THIS 2022 TOTAL CHANGE INSIDE AND OUT!
This is our next family suv. Great review!
I think this is the best review for the new mdx you did a great job I knew I wanted this car from before not now it's a I got to have it now lol
Excellent review
Got to say Hanson you do a great review , always enjoy your reviews.
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
Great review. Thanks so much!
Well done Hanson! Thank you Sir!
Thank you for the very good review, loved it! The new Acura MDX is the suv to go for
Love the interior! Everything looks amazing (materials and organization). Got in one at a dealership and it's even better in person. Of course, the exterior is also gorgeous.
Very nice review!! Keep em coming!!
Great review. Nice to get your take on the 2022 MDX.
Great review. Almost convinced me to go buy one 😊
I don’t normally make comments in TH-cam. I love to watch car reviews and can’t believe I haven’t come across you till now. Great review man! I have a 2017 MDX and am thinking of upgrading to the 2022. Great info man!
Thank you for that!! That means a lot. I hope you stick around!
Most detailed review of the Acura MDX Advance Package. Good job, Hansen! In the market for the Advance Package but supply is low at the moment and I prefer not to pay MSRP.
Excellent 👍
Very well explained 👍
Great review.
Great review, I was leaning on getting one for my wife and your review definitely helped my opinion on it. When we test drove It I was pretty impressed by the handling and technology in the car
Thank you for watching!!
Subscribed ...Honda forever !
Thumbs up here. I just bought my 2022 mdx and I'm in love
I do love this such new MDX 2022 !
Great job on the review! You have a new subscriber =)
Yes!!! Thank you so much!
3rd row is for kids or Adults that you don't like 😅😅😅😅👍
wow im really impressed
Love the new MDX
Awesome review. Very detailed and to the point. Subscribed!
Are you planning to compare MDX with other SUV’s
I still think Acura should have had touchscreen, just my opinion. And also lane changing cameras similar to Palisade, Telluride, GV, etc.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment!
Yes we will be doing comparisons between this and other SUVs in the near future. We have a new segment that focuses on comparisons. I hope you subscribe to get updates.
I love that lane changing camera feature!
Attention to folks shopping between non advance and advance models regarding ambient lighting in my aspec the light strip is just on top of the door trim and footwell, advance gives you more lightstrip on the dash and and below door switches. Lol I am scorned.
Great review! I’m going to trade my 2016 mdx for this new one!
I love my 2017 MDX with Advance package. The new one has a lot of upgrades and I like it too. There are some things I don't quite like like using the same engine with the same hp but the vehicle is bigger and heavier which is not ideal. The other one is the exterior - the old MDX (post-facelift) looks better to me. I don't quite like the rear lights of the old MDX but I don't like them on the new one as well. Also there are some shiny plastic (piano black) parts in the interior and this is a slight step back for me. Other than that a solid upgrade and I wish someday I get the new model. That said I plan on driving my MDX for at least 4-5 more years.
a big pro: power front seats are the same for pilot and co-pilot. the only mid-priced suv to have this.
Just ordered mine today. The almost dealer breakers for me were: cheap headliner, piano black plastic center console, intrusive fake engine noise, cheaper interior materials compared to our rx350. However, i was sold by the wireless CarPlay, standard digital gauge, panoramic sunroof and superb handling.
Do you still like it ? How’s reliability so far ?
This Acura generation is really nice 👌🏾
Hey Man, a very Good overall review.... Best I've seen the past week or so. No one emphasized the Interior lighting changes- that is very Cool. Even at 69 YO , I like Gadgets. This model is a wonderful upgrade from mine , at 201 MDX Advance. I would like to [pint out : Mine has 245/45 ratio tires, the new one has 50 ratio tires. When I out mine into Sport Driving Dynamic mode , the Advance package introduces Suspension Dampening together with the throttle and steering enhancements . The 45 ratio ties in Sport mode feel way too hard forcing me to go back to Normal mode. When I had a Loaner with 50 ratio ties, it was definetely better . I presume this MDX also engages suspension dampening !!
Great review! With family, I am seriously considering selling my TLX Type S and using that money to buy a 22 - 24 MDX.
Great review. I don’t know why they eliminated the Remote Start in the Tech package. Just ordered a ‘22 and realized that after the fact.
To make money off the app subscription. Just got a 22 and there’s I believe a three month trial before you have to pay to include remote start with the app
Nice review. It would be helpful to see you sit on the second row seats and discuss leg room.
Thank you. I’ll be sure to include those clips in our future reviews.
@@ShiftingLanes Awesome! Looking forward to your reviews!
I like the outside shot of the car, it provide a better view of the car.
MDX has always had one issue that is annoying to me ==> the floating horizontal exhaust. It always seems like an after thought. It makes it seem like the fit-&-finish is lacking....
Anyway, awesome review style/info
What u mean?
My only gripe from reading the reviews and the Acura web site is the Color combos. I have a Canyon Bronze Metalic - not too many on the road, but is a standout as many people have complimented me on it with an Espresso interior. Acura dropped the Canyon Bronze color but retained the Espresso interior but only in the White exterior color. I personally don't embrace Black leather interiors. Or for that matter, they have a beautiful new Platinum color,but only paired with Black interior. A nice two tone grey would have been spectacular. Beggars can't be choosey. If Acura comes up with a Nice Trade up program (rade uip from my 2019 ) I would strongly going down that "road" ... THX again for nice succinct and informative Review.
Thank you for your feedback! That’s very much appreciated! I hope you’ll subscribe as we try to do more in depth, but succinct reviews like this one. Thanks again!!
I am just worried about reliability. I read on boards about the transmission issues and sudden stalling of the engine.
My favourite SUV
Cant wait for type S
You didn’t say a word about NVH of MDX... as a current owner one of our major complaint is the interior noise
It really is a great car, if you are in the market its a no brainer when comparing to its class.
I’m trying to get one tomorrow. :)
This Advanced MDX should now include a working Dashcam (front and rear) that records when you start your engine using micro-sd card. Something to think about.
They aren’t using a camera capable of recording at higher speeds, typically that requires a compromise between optical power and optical speed. And Acura isn’t spending the kind of money to find a high quality solution.
And frankly, I’m not sure the control unit could even handle that on top of controlling the current head unit and it’s various features.
They can’t even find a suitable solution for in-motion-camera or a valet or park assist. The 2022 still lacks fairly plebeian features common in this segment like lane-change assist. Most vehicles already have a co-pilot/drivers-assist package in this segment. Not Acura.
Yeah, forget a real off-road model, hybrid model or XL model. A TH-cam trim level is what Acura needs.
I have a Type S. Incredible ride and very versatile. Came from BMW X5. Very ergonomic from the driver’s seat. Love the tech compared to my ‘15 BMW. Hope it has good reliability, TBD.
Can you do one of the TLX Advance? Thanks!
We are getting a TLX to review in a couple of weeks. Will have that one soon
Are used to have an 02 Acura MDX and I loved it. One of my favorite cars however after that I moved over to the Hyundai brand because it was a much lower price and the warranty was phenomenal it was a full five-year 60,000 mile warranty. I also did not like the looks and the direction the MDX was going. This latest one is a big improvement for sure. It’s the first time I’ve even looked at an MDX several years. Once I started buying holidays I became hurts. The latest 2020 to Tucson in Santa Fe are amazing vehicles and just loaded with tech in a very reasonable price and phenomenal warranty. They may not be quite as solid as an MDX but for the difference in price that’s a direction I went. I’ll definitely check out the 2020 to MDX and see what’s going on with it before I make my next purchase. Right now I’m looking at a 2022 Hyundai Tucson or Santa Fe highbred. Both have a ton of horsepower and specifically thinking of the plug-in hybrid which gets 32 miles just on the battery but I still have a turbo engine at 182 hp backing it up for a total horsepower of over 240. Best of all worlds. All wheel drive course as well.
I’m still absolutely in love with my ‘14 MDX, this new one is gorgeous as well but it looks like a Mazda CX-9.
It does, it really does. 😄
I have the 2022 mdx and it's more like 15-16 mpg
Picked mine up in Fathom Blue Pearl (Graystone interior) today, also in the Advance trim. Looking forward to learning all the features hands-on and your detailed explanations and descriptions help a lot. Great video. Thank you!
Can I ask how you like the 2022 MDX so far? We have one on order to be picked up in August. Thank you in “advance”. Pun intended.
do you know any good out door price for 2022 MDX?
If you can afford it, it looks like a good long-distance tralling SUV.
The 19MPG/290HP/267TQ aren't best/fun for long distance; however, everything else seems fine.
I hope a next gen crv use mdx as a basis...
Anyone know where I can get the key fob cover and the rain visors for this car?
I have a 2020 MDX and love it! I must say, the upgrades on the 2022 gives it a wow factor. I’ve been asking for a panoramic moonroof since I had a 2010 MDX. 👌🏼
Glad u like it, I am waiting on the type S, but it might be a good idea to test drive a new one right now?
This is a very high quality reviews and very thorough ,. Good job Sir. I'm on the market for a suv. I'm thinking the GV80 I was want to look in to the MDX but the 2 reviews from Steve hemis and one other guy they all said the MDX has more road noise. That will bug me that's why I look elsewhere.
I noticed road noise also. What did u decide?
Great SUV but I don't like digital cluster. I want my analogue speedometer.
Leaver or lever?
Is there a cargo cover/security shade for the rear space? We had it on our 2010
No cargo cover. Yes to rear shades
No ventilated 2nd row seats?
If you had to pick would you take 22 Acura MDX or 22 Lexus RX350L? I like to size of the MDX but I think long term Lexus would hold up better over time as for as reliability. I don't like the fact that MDX has a timing belt which is a big maintenance cost at 100k miles($2300). The Lexus RX350L has a timing chain.
Are the headlights adaptive? Power folding mirrors?
Power folding mirrors but the headlights only have auto bright and dim. They don’t adapt to turns and uphill/downhill.
SL, How did you like Acura's Red Color.... I'm debating that color or the Liquid Metal look .
It’s pretty sharp! Looked awesome in the snow when we were filming :)
Pause@8:17 The design details... awesome.
(The font is legible, to large, to close, etc. The icons aren't appropriate, too large, too shapeless/close, etc.)
Anyway, Tesla should pay attention to quality design/build.
Dang! I was about to buy a low mileage 2018 MDX but I’m thinking of cancelling it.
Don't all MDX's get low milage? Mine gets 15 city milage in the area where I live (mostly hilly).
How much price in this car
Gloss black below the climate control should have been matte wood
I fast forwarded through some of the parts so, pardon me if I missed this, but does it still have the engine start/stop "feature"? Thanks!
Yes, it does. But what's unique with this vehicle, you can press on the Acura logo on the dynamic dial and you can disable the auto stop/start permanently.
@@GBraidi78 I hope you’re right but I’ve seen 10-20 comments on different reviews saying you have to turn it off EVERY time you start the car. Again, I hope you’re right because I have one on order.
Ironic old MDX @ 2:58
That red color is stunning 😍
Didn’t mention pricing
Acura should include digital rear mirror, hill descent control and backing up emergency brake if you call yourself a 2022 luxury family suv. These safety features are actually nothing new or special in today’s vehicles. Even Toyota or Subaru has them.
there's no need for a digital rearview camera as you have cameras all around, i want to say it has backup e braking (not sure) and hill decent control is a nice idea for sure however the majority of people wont ever use it. Its a "soccer mom suv" if you know what i mean so while you can definitely take it off road the vast majority of people wont ever unless its an unpaved back road. But all good suggestions
Why did the keep the same motor ?
If it ain’t broke ....??
Range of 178 with over half a tank of fuel means this thing is terrible on gas. My 21 X5 gets 520 miles on a tank and I average 27MPG.
Lol. I own an 2009 and a 2014 Mdx and man it’s seems they never get the Tech right. Lol. I love them though. 205k on my 2009
I've seen a lot of reviews on not liking the touch pad. How many times are you going to play with the screen while driving.. lock it and leave it.. pull over and change if need be
OH GOD.. FINALLY.. ACURA REALIZED THEIR INTERIOR IS ABOUT SAME AS THEIR HONDA... ACURA WAS NEVER IN MY LIST FOR LUXURY BRAND.. NOT EVEN CLOSE. NOW THIS NEW DESIGN IS CLOSER TO LUXURY INTERIOR
Pause@8:54 wow, truly flat. I really really like the design engineers for this MDX.
They did an awesome job. Thoughtful people.
THE BAD:
I don't like the busy dashboard, the gloss-black paint, the unnecessary curves and molds on the dash -- way too busy/old.-style.
Even the leather stitching/wrap around the display is overkill to me. Are all these molds and curve really appealing to people?
It's puts a strain/weight on my eyes. I feel stressed looking at them -- too busy, to cluttered, totally unnecessary, to me :)
👍🏻 Acura
CAN THE 3RD ROW SEATS BE COMPLETELY REMOVED OR ONLY FOLDED DOWN 🤔
Technically you can unbolt the seats and remove them lol
I disagree that touchscreens are difficult. Touch pads and dials certainly are. I don't want a learning curve with my infotainment screen. Just give us a touchscreen, please.
Completely disagree! This is the easiest direct touch Infotainment system on the market. Touch screens are actually as dangerous as playing with the phone. I taught myself this system driving down the freeway in 20 minutes. SERIOUSLY! This is the most logical and easiest to learn system on the planet!!
Gotta agree with Matthew down below, if it was a mouse pad style where you have to drag the cursor around then yes, this is similar to a mouse pad in that you press down to click however where you are on the trackpad is where the "cursor" is on the screen so if you touch the bottom left on the pad you'll be selecting the bottom left on the screen. It takes a minute to adjust but once you get used to its much easier.
The backrow is reserved for kids and adults that you dont like!! haha
i shoulda buy MDX ...im not happy with my RDX
Love my 2019 RDX S. Has big 22 tires wheels. If I had kids , I'd get this.
If your gonna get a MDX make sure it's either a A Spec or Type S.
This is a GREAT SUV AND I WOULD LOVE IT....but I can’t see me paying 46k-50k for a car
No worries because it cost more than that lol. Stick with your accord or pilot
What brand is that SUV? Is it a Mazda?
People that you dont like in The 3rd row? Hahaha
Over 50% of the video on technology!??
Get rid of the gloss black, Acura!
I think the interior design is eye dizzying, not eye catching
Can’t wait for all the digital malfunctions to start. Gonna be fun…
DIGITAL great in war and EMPS
