“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!”
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.
Drove every luxury model and nothing comes close to the 2022 MDX. BOUGHT IT IN PEARL RED. PICK UP MONDAY. MY WIFE LOVES THE RDX. GREAT JOB!
Finally the MDX comes with a panoramic roof!!!
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.
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
That cx9 aint even comparable to the last gen mdx...
@@Alexbuilt Except for the price and MPG
Such a huge improvement compared to the third generation mdx
I love the 2022 Acura MDX advance, it’s very nice! I love the updates and 3D sound system! Happy super bowl Sunday! 🏈
Happy Super Bowl Sunday to you too! Who are you rooting for? I'm rooting for the Chiefs!

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.
I'll take an MDX Advance SHAWD just as pictured!! I'm blown away

I love the MDX I have purchased 2. AWESOME JOB ACURA! Great review.
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. :)
Ur rich
I have the 2017, I feel like crying! I want this! God will provide!
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 👍
You're welcome! Glad we could help! 😁
Wow love the mdx 2022 good job guys
oh man! the improvements made me love this car even more and it looks stunning!
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.
loving the dark colored leather
Once my moms 2014 mdx gives up she’ll be getting a new one! Her current 2014 mdx has over 160k miles
it wont die anytime soon... this is technically a honda you're talking about. my dad has a cr-v from '04, 210k miles... runs amazing.
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.
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
@@rahimi4762 I agree if the palisade can have it why can't this. This is my motto for all luxury SUVs now.
@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?
Third row vents are under the 2nd row seats. Not ideal, but they’re there.
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.
Love the new MDX-cant wait to trade in my MDX Aspec 2020 for the Aspec 2022
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.
This is really nice way to go Acura/Honda
21:40 That engine sound was soo good. 😋
You guys do a great job! Love you reviews.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
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!
Thanks, Jared! Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck with your future purchase 👍
Amazing review by amazing guys....
Just quality information given by you...
Thank you Sir👍🏻🤗
Thanks!
Thanks soo much for sharing! Luv the latest generation
Does the key fob give remote feedback when doing remote start function?
All I can say that the Type S will be fire!
this SUV is an eye candy
Great videos! In the market and your content really helps to make an educated decision. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
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 ?
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.
drooling over this car.
So close to 200k!!!
Almost there!!
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 :)
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.
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
Only the smaller +19 Acura RDX has a 2.0L turbo engine. All +22 MDXs have 3.5L NA V-6 or 3.0L V-6 turbo for the Type-S.
I’ve been waiting for this!
definetly
Samee🔥
damn, after watching this video , I just want to trade in my RDX 2020
It’s giving me refreshed Mazda CX-9 vibes.
I was looking for this comment
The new one will always be the most luxurious.
Acura, how hard it is to put air vents on the third row for your luxury suv?
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.
The 3rd row vents are under the 2nd row seats.
when u will make video on hyundai palisade callography and pls do offroading too, if u interested. plzz.
Nice suv . Little pricey . Thanks guys . Another great video .
We have owned 4 mdx cars. I am surprised Acura hasn't offered a hybrid option.
I love it!! However the MDX Type S is coming!! Stay safe guys!!!
will you buy it?
@@amirfirdaus9419 Maybe the TLX Type S
Is the Aspec and type s going to have the same design?
All have the same design. However the Type S, will be 355 up. The TLX Type S first coming out in May, 2021, and Mdx Type S by July, or August, 2021.
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
When is the type S going to be released?
I believe sometime this summer is the latest from Acura
Excellent information 😎
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...
The advanced model has all the features I will take that with black wheels, I like what they did with the back seat very smart
I'll be test driving the MDX Type S when it comes this summer.
Test drive the gv80

@@JulezWinnfield anyways, I can’t wait for the type s. Did Acura a give a date?
Great in-depth review and enhanced detailed 😎🥃
Thanks! 😊
Much more luxurious than the 2020! So close to 200k guys!
This 4th generation MDX is the sexiest SUV since the 3rd generation MDX (which was the sexiest SUV since the 2nd generation MDX).
I’m disappointed why would they not put a touchscreen on the dashboard instead of using a control pad it makes the car not useful
How reliable is it? Is it as reliable as Lexus? Please I need answers
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 love this SUV. Kinda looks like the QX60 or 70?
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.
Is the ZF 9 prone to issues or just a quirky gear change?
Hope you guys can compare this with the gv80 soon....great video as always?
Coming real soon!
1:08 I really like how you show the trims
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 think that’s where the PMC comes into play with the Different Paint Job
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
Some nice updates (especially the exterior design) but somehow Acura always seems to fall just short of greatness.
What would you like to see them do to achieve greatness?
I'd prefer this anytime over the overplayed newbie Nifty review
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.
Wait for 2 years at least to buy this new redesign. Acura need to get their shit together especially now these are made in the USA.
Why?
Very good vehicle
I like the MDX but the rear door speaker cover looks like it came from a Yugo
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.
Why didn’t Acura include touch screen capability like every other luxury brand?
No touch screen means no sale!
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 😁
The touchpad is a dismal interface...Acura needs to cut their losses on this and go with a touch 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.
Bottom door chrome styling is exactly similar to Honda accord.and even how it extends and go upward after back wheel fender.
Looks nice but I wish they made a better red. And the option for black interior with the red
Base is not leather?
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.
I wonder if the outcome collected globally would focus any new features to boost the brand.
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!
I cant wait until acura make a minivan!!!
Me too
Hopefully we can swap out our 2012 MDX for this one!
Super awesome SUV, I can hardly wait to get mine
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 think there will be a super bowl commercial for the new acura mdx
I hope
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.
Audi q7 overpriced cheap plastic?
dont understand why only the top trim gets heated steering wheels? only the rich feel the cold?
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.
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.
Isn’t there an MDX without the third row?
No
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…
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.
This is so nice but that tablet like thing is a deal breaker.
Nice design 👌👍
Courtesy MDX ?
I just hate the fact that the unveil version of the MDX doesnt even exist!
That one had the parchment leather interior, with a parchment colored steering wheel to match the interior, and 21 inch Type-S rims!
Yet in real life that combination doesnt exist and the colored steering wheel isnt an option in any trim...
They really need to make the type-s drivetrain an option on the advance because not everyone wants blacked out trim and red interior
The prototype was the Type-s. That does exist but it’s the Type-s variant that’s not out yet. The rims on that one too which I loved.
@@AFCompany
Well thats what im saying
It had the Type-S rims and drivetrain....but with the interior and exterior from the Advance trim (parchment leather color, chrome exterior trim)
The Type-S is going to feature a bodykit and blacked out trim like the A-Spec along with a red interior
Which is why I said the MDX unveil version doesnt exist!
It *WOULD* exist if you could add the Type-S rims and drivetrain to the MDX Advance trim..but you cant
@@joecool9739 the interior was of the Type-s most of the model was a type-s except for the exterior body. So that interior does exist but it’s a type-s only interior.
@@AFCompany
Well I hope that was a Type-S interior...but I highly doubt it.
Acura never explicitly said that was the Type-S they just said it was an MDX prototype.
Acura *DID* show the "Type-S" as well and it comes with a yellow paint tone and blacked out trim with a black interior.
I think black/red interiors with carbon fiber and metal are over played
The Lincoln Aviator makes way more power than the Type-S yet you dont see it all riced out...its purely luxury inside and out.
As of now it just seems that the silver MDX prototype was exactly that...a prototype...they mixed all of the highest-grade features into a single concept vehicle that was never intended to be available for sale in its entirety.
Chromed exterior with type-s rims and powertrain and the advance trim parchment interior.
I love how all the info and videos show a massage seat option then low and behold it is not even offered on the Advance, and the seats and interior are subpar for the category. Actually it’s disappointing all around even more so with the $900+ a month all in lease price.
my mom has the exact same spec mdx as the one shown in this video
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
Technology package dont even have Fog lights. Why?
I love that car
Best MDX ever!!!!
