As a Lexus fanatic, I'm in love with this MDX!

I saw a black 2014 MDX the other day. I was very relieved to see that it looks better in person than it does in pictures. It's not quite as conservative as it would appear, especially compared to the previous generation. I really like the look of the headlights.

This video makes me want a new MDX. As always, you provide us with the most useful car review videos on the web (as far as I have found). Thanks again!

Tom thanks for reviewing this finally, we are excited to see this and test drive it.

Just saw a black 2014 MDX on July 5, 2013. Overall design looks better than the last MDX.

I love the new looks of this vehicle.

Awesome Tom... wouldn't mind having that.

The black one looks lovely.

Thank you for the upload.

Nice car, good review... keep 'em coming, please!

OMG..! I used to think how difficult it is for a car maker to build a car with a 0-60 in 6 secs as well a fuel economy close to 30..Acura has finally did it and its a 7-passenger SUV for god-sake !..Acura is the best ...love to own one of these in the coming years

Finally a reviewer points out how good the ELS sound system is. I would go Acura just for it.

27mpg for sh-awd is amazing. The headlights look awesome.

Great review

Because you don't have to take the "key" out of your pocket. It's like leaving your doors unlocked and the key in the ignition all the time. Once you get used to it, it's hard to go back.

Great review this guy is really good

Correct, both the MDX and ZDX were made in Ontario. No rattles via that assembly plant. Now, a new location and new crew. We'll see how it goes.

Uf. I don't know how I feel about those lights and the overall sameness of the design. It was on our list in 08. Not sure about now. Good review as always.

Tom, would you review the Acura ILX if you could get the chance? Especially the 2.4? I'm interested in that car and I feel your style of reviewing would help a lot! Thanks for the videos! I'm a fan.

Used to be made in Canada, it cannot be too bad.

I own an mdx and it looks like its time for an upgrade

Agreed... even the infrequent monsoon rains or occasional ski trip to Snowbowl or Sunrise would never warrant it (IMO). That aside, isn't SH-AWD more for handling than 4-wheeling?

Personally, I've always seen SUVs as big station wagons (albeit with camping clothes). Maybe FWD is for consumers who know exactly what they want. Why would a tame driver need SH-AWD in Phoenix? At a lower price point and better MPGs, it makes sense in the sunbelt. Also, MDX is hardly alone offering 2WD.

Does this compete with the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder? Oh and 20/28 mpg for a three row luxury SUV is amazing. Hey tom can you do a review on the2013 Nissan Juke please I really want to see the TP trunk test because you are the only reviewer I really trust.

Is this a pearl finish paint job? It really makes the car's looks stand out

This car is great, Does it really get 20 mpg city and 28 mpg Hwy with air condition running. How does it compare to the Infiniti QX35, QX60, Buick Enclave, Cadillac SRX and BMW X5 . How is the car compared with the Ford Escape Titanium (althought its in a different class

Great looking SUV. Too bad about Alabama assembly. Can't wait to hear about rattling.

All MDX's have been made in the US if I'm correct.

How do you like it over the Enclave?

Sorry amigo, you're wrong. Both gen 1 and gen 2 have been made in Alliston, Ontario, Canada (HCM). Check Wiki on the Acura MDX.... Cheers

Imo this car is at the zenith of balancing of compromises and modern automotive execution. Its a low 6 second car but gets 28 mpg, it can haul 7 people but from all of the reviews I've read it handles better than one of the best - the previous mdx, it rides better with reactive dampers yet handles better, it's 275 lighter yet loaded with sound deadener, you get the up high view yet it handles like a car and is not much bigger than a mid size. A little bit of everything in this big box.

Where are fog light?

I'd like to see a comparison with this car vs Infiniti JX35, I think the JX has better road presence

its like roll up windows....im sure they thought back then..."i can roll them up just fine"....now its hard to go back

Time for an Upgrade?

The fog lights are optional!

1mpg adds up overtime...fwd mdx saves more than that..if u live in California or somewhere with no snow...wudnt u want the option not to have it?

Star (Portland) home if the Star Pant's in hockey and Star Picka Pecka Pipes in basketball.

i agree

Honda is understandable, but for any car that luxury is a selling point, a button to start the car should be standard

True. But dang. The SH-AWD is too good to pass up.

Woo Alabama!

And you expected... what? BTW, my mom and dad live in Alabama.

Did I hear 57k for an Acura? Damn!

Time to trade in my glk350

Where's the fog lights? SUV without fog lights for that price, are you kidding me?

It is the same facility that has been making the Odessey for quite a few years. There is no reason they can't build the MDX as well as any other plant could. By your logic no one should ever buy much of anything since they generally move models around every few years.

A normal wagon is usually enough for most stuff. The only good thing I can see about an SUW is that you have a good allround view, which is a pretty lame excuse to buy such a big car. I mean, it's not like you can't see in a normal car.

No CVT for the MDX. Wise choice on hondas part. At least for now...

Yeah Acura made in Alabama USA but some how Acura decided not to offer to USA market real wood inserts, surround camera viewing system,heated steering wheel,headlight washer as it offers in Europe and Canada so I guess Acura thinks USA market is not very important and it can cut some corners ???

To be fair, I didn't say anything negative about Alabama. Apparently though a sizable amount amount of non-Alabama residents agree with me given the thumbs up. If someone wants to purchase a first generation vehicle being made at a different production facility that is their choice, I would prefer not to.

Clearly you don't live in a southern state or care to look at the global perspective on that type of offering. Tons of people buy SUVs without AWD/4WD because they don't need it, but they need the space of this type of vehicle.

FWD availability in a luxury SUV? I don't think consumers know what they want anymore. If you're really that concerned about fuel economy that you forgo features that make an SUV what it is you're just buying a raised minivan.

People in Alabama aren't stupid. They've been building Mercedes' for years here, not to mention Hyundai. Don't knock an entire state based entirely on (very) old and tired stereotypes.

Actually there is a more indepth video @TTAV,its about 18 min long and way better then this video imo,ck it out.(The Truth About Cars)

1st

All Mercedes SUV's sold in the world are made in Alabama so ...

Great, overnight my comment about Alabama gets voted to the top now I am getting flamed by all the Alabama residents.

The rear end is turning more and more into the Audi Q7. Btw are Americans really that lazy to turn a key on a car anymore? People have really been hitting Honda about not having push button start...I mean atleast we are not cranking our cars on manually...

I hate hidden exhaust!!!!!

its too soccer mom....

Good but not good

That exhaust is disgusting. Just a gross pipe ? Last gen was better
