I disagree about the need for a power third row. This manual mode third row works efficiently, and is faster than any powered third row in the market. And the absence of a motor is one less thing that can potentially break. I like it the way it is.
It's not just less complexity but I would argue a better UX because the problem with power rows is that they're very slow. On my x7, it's VERY annoying to stand there and wait for the seats to fold down so someone can get into the 3rd. A flick of a switch or latch and down it goes is way more efficient and less annoying.
i just sold mine 2023 Type S yesterday after owning for 2 months, Reason-1 Worse mileage, 2-Infontaiment system lack, no Touch screen, takes forever to connect Apple Carplay. 3rd Wireless charger never works well, 3rd row is very tight in segment. Good thing- it was comfort, zippie
Yeh my 2023 MDX Type S got.totaled and didnt buy another one solely because of the absolute HORRID mpg......thats a deal breaker. Didnt know it was going to be that horrible.
My grandfather has a RDX Advance 2019. Very good. This lacks in the third row. Now in this heat, I would be dead if I was in the third row. Third is just usb ports. Why? I’d rather have the vents over the usb ports. For cheaper and more features I believe, I think the palisade is better. Cares a lot about its passengers plus it’s cheaper! But great car review! Excited for tomorrow’s video! ❤❤❤
I am from San Diego, and have driven the exact road they did their sound test on many times... that road is NOT recently paved. I would not pay attention to a sound level reading taken there when being compared to readings taken across the country on a better quality road.
The benefit of the mdx being v6 exclusive is that it is very refined, smooth and more hp than the base powertrain in the tx. However, depending on which engine you opt for can be worse fuel economy than the turbo 4 cylinders.
Cell phone is dancing while you are driving) why didn’t Acura do the charging place the same form as ZDX has? Also shining plastic for Type-S could be changed for smth different. As gor audio system would be interesting to compare it to the previous one with ELS
Vs high possession opponents, I'd love them in a 442. If only Marcus decides to defend, we could play him and Garnacho on the wings.. Mainoo and Bruno as the two CMs. As things are now, I'd play Bruno on the right, Garnacho on the left and Mainoo and Ugarte (if we get him) or Amrabat in the CM.
The camera angle behind your seats seems to show a lot of seat vibrating. You said the ride quality was quite good but the camera showed otherwise. Maybe it was just the angle?
I have a 2019 Odyssey and really like it. 3.5l v6 wagon ftw! One of my top favorites is the placement of the fold down elbow rests attached to the seat and their padding. Thick and comfy and just right for resting but still good control of the wheel on a long cruise. I always wonder if these vehicles with a big pad top door center armrest will be as comfortable or relaxing.
Touchscreens are responsible in part to distracted driving taking over for drinking and driving as the biggest hazard on the road ....touchscreens are not a good idea .
the funny part about Acura's previous TTI touch pad is that it's actually LESS distracting to use than a touch screen. The catch is that there's a 2 week learning curve. Reviewers and test drive customers won't develop the muscle memory but owners do.
The 2024 MDX Type-S sound level reading was 54.4dB ... this one is 58.7dB. It even looks like the new one was tested on fresher pavement and in the summer rather than the winter for the previous gen. Over 4dB difference is pretty substantial. Do they run on different tires? Does that horrendous new front fascia cause a lot more air turbulence that translates into more wind noise? Worst gas mileage in the segment while also being the slowest. Simply awful choice in using air suspension with it being by far the most expensive and least reliable suspension system ever created. Piano black plastic galore that swirls like crazy after a year of ownership plastered all over the interior and now the exterior. And now it's even louder inside than the outgoing model? Besides the Acura fanboys, who in their right minds would pay $75k for this dumpster fire?
Dumpster fire? Did an old Acura leave you stranded in the middle of the desert mid summer at some point in your life? You sound like you lose sleep at night hating on Acuras.
All these reviews were filmed about a month ago. However, RUclipsrs were only allowed to show the new features, full reviews weren't allowed to be posted until July 9. Most auto makers do this which is why you see reviews posted on the same day.
What is going on with acura mdx type s reviews.. they are pushing this gas guzzler, overpriced and outrageous insurance cost ... i think Acura can NOT SALE THESE VEHICLES.. what they DID NOT CHANGE IS : LOWER PRICE, HYBRID MODEL, AND THE BIG BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE( CAR MODE) MOST PEOPLE WOULD LIKE IT GONE! as a consumer i do not see this acura type s on the road. See more Toyota, genesis etc.. or older acura mdx and rdx.. so my advice watch this hundred video on the type s. And lol when they tell you the price, and GAS ⛽️ MG... LOL. acura has priced it's self out of the smart buyers market.. to wealthy and lease
@@mikemayers8672 Yep, turbo definitely needs premium and when you're on throttle it guzzles it quite liberally. 19 mpg combined isn't a competitive unless you pit it against (much) larger SUVs.
They even dropped 1 yr of compliment free service.. so you the owner can pay for electronics faults and issues...! I feel acura is going the way of bmw, audi, Mercedes that squeeze out the middle class and reaching for wealthy, rich and leasing to drive there vehicles.. consumer reports etc. Have lowered the dependability so low for acura that it is near range rover low levels... it is a honda product what is happening. ???? Toyota, chevy lexus on top...! Crazy 🤪 acura must reorganize!! Lol and i am a acura 2005 Rl and 2010 acura zdx owner,2005 honda pilot with 300,000miles on it.. older cars but bullet proof.. 👌 i would not except a free acura type s etc.. to compare to older quality of honda/acura products... 😢

Agree. And less weight without the power mechanism. A power 3rd row would make sense in a larger SUV.
It's not just less complexity but I would argue a better UX because the problem with power rows is that they're very slow. On my x7, it's VERY annoying to stand there and wait for the seats to fold down so someone can get into the 3rd. A flick of a switch or latch and down it goes is way more efficient and less annoying.

how much did u sell it for?
$1
The poor mileage is kind of the deal breaker for me. The tech is improved on this one but the bad mileage stays the same.
Yeh my 2023 MDX Type S got.totaled and didnt buy another one solely because of the absolute HORRID mpg......thats a deal breaker. Didnt know it was going to be that horrible.
What you getting next ?
There are vents under the second row seats that send conditioned air to the third row.
Josh didn’t blink the whole time & is staring into my soul 😂
There’s no reason that piano black can’t be wood grain
right?! wth can't automakers figure out how to do something else? piano black is terrible.

This is the best, most competitive Acura in many, many years. Fix the TLX, go RWD.
Awaiting for Sport Hybrid version🙏🏼
The sound meter doesn't lie. 58???? And Acura is claiming additional sound deadening? Pfft! X5 is now below 50db. Same price range.
No its not under 50….

BMW's dont come with turn signals 😂

Love your car video
The TX has a V6 option.
I think only the plug-in has the V6. I will search some more because if it does I rather purchase the tx
Acura will always be more sporty than Lexus
Did you forget NSX?.?

58.7 decibel? So the interior noise is louder for 2025 compared to pre-refresh model according to your website?
Please keep in mind that this was taken in California. We plan on taking our official Kentucky sound level reading in approximately a month or so
@@CarConfections ok thanks, looking forward to the update test
Excellent video!
The camera angle behind your seats seems to show a lot of seat vibrating. You said the ride quality was quite good but the camera showed otherwise. Maybe it was just the angle?
Nice! I like the blue interior
the video appears to cut off abruptly, is it missing a chunk at the end ?
Awesome and I'll trade in my 2023

Agree
@@TheBreakfastLover Perhaps adding touch screen but also keeping the touch pad would have been the better move.
@@TheBreakfastLover agree.
Does the base V6 take 87 like the Pilot , or does it take 89 or Premium ?
Acura recommends Premium on the base 3.5L V6 but you could get away with putting 87 on it. But I suggest 89 or 91 just to be safe.
Why isn't this a hybrid?
MDX Type S or GV80 3.5?
$75k for this? acura are out of their minds.
Also reclining 3rd row.
Deciding between this and BMW X7
Get a lexus tx
@@kustomchevy27acceleration is junk, looks cheap on the inside, engine may be unreliable….
@@kustomchevy27if he’s looking for performance the TX won’t be something he will be cross shopping
@kustomchevy27 You can't even buy one of those plastic clad v4's right now because there is a stop sale due to a major safety defect lol.
No thanks Toyota/Lexus did horrible in crash test@kustomchevy27

Will wait 5 years to own one ,.love buying these for around 25k . My 2017 mdx shawd entertainment/technology packages/tow. Got it for 23k 61k miles
Dumpster fire? Did an old Acura leave you stranded in the middle of the desert mid summer at some point in your life? You sound like you lose sleep at night hating on Acuras.
That road is NOT fresher... I'm from where they tested this, and I cannot recall the last time that road was repaved.
@@t3h8ar0n ... and yet it's still fresher looking than the road they tested the 2023 on
Hello Joshua
Every car reviewer is posting this as the same time haha what is going on

Better off getting a fully loaded Mazda CX-9 2023. The cx90 is great but they should have done more storage for the price.
$75k!? 😂
A similarly equipped BMW x5 would be 85k … so, yes.

Toyota will only give you a SUV with 4 CYLINDERS
@@mikemayers8672 Yep, turbo definitely needs premium and when you're on throttle it guzzles it quite liberally. 19 mpg combined isn't a competitive unless you pit it against (much) larger SUVs.
6 cylinders will always be smoother than 4 cylinders and you got to pay for that ride quality in MPGs. Type S MDX is selling well
Awesome car, terrible MPG, the Mazda cx90 Turbo S top trim is a better value package with MPG around 30 combined
Too expensive

What car will you get next then, if you had to buy new?
Y’all best spend that dinero on a Benz or Bimmer!!! Us ebony queens deserve better than this car!!!! Our yams are like diamonds!! Priceless!!!
Last MDX was 55 .
Last mdx was tested on their normal road... this is a shitty road in north San Diego county.
