2022 Acura MDX Platinum Elite vs 2020 MDX, time for an upgrade?
Is the2022 Acura MDX better than the older 2020 Acura MDX? Should you buy the 2022 MDX or get the previous generation MDX?
In this video I compare the older MDX to the 2022 fully redesigned Acura MDX to find out if you should get the new MDX.
Special thanks for this goes to our friends at Performance Acura North Mississauga:

Sam, terrific video! So through from beginning to end. What a huge difference from the outgoing model. The level of refinement, use of high quality materials, and class leading technology puts the new MDX at the front of the pack. One super cool feature is the 27 different ambient lighting options on this unit - looks like a polished space ship at night! Once again you are the very first Canadian KZfaq Auto Reviewer to get the all new 2022 Acura MDX out for us to preview, that shows your commitment and efficiency to your audience and channel subscribers. Looking forward to showcasing the all new MDX against the competition out there! I agree the removable center seat in the second row is a game changer. To have the option of the third seat capacity or the functionality of pass through storage or even the ability to walk through to the third row seat makes this vehicle magic!

My wife and I bought this car a few weeks ago and it truly is an amazing car. The dash and the control panel being near the wrist rest is so comfortable. It drives amazing and the features work very well. The only issue I have is some features that seem to be easy to add don’t get added unless you buy the higher end model. An example is the full camera when backing up.

Good job Acura, but not great job. Some of the features in the Advance trim needs to trickle down to the A Spec. Acura should've put metal speakers in the back. The 25 speakers that will be in the Type S, should be in the Advance.

The problem is the new MDX lacks that sense of luxury the other cars in its class have in spades. The fact that I can’t get a 2022 fully loaded MDX with and drivers assistance/co-pilot features speaks volumes of how far behind Acura is in technology. No lane change assist in a 2022??? Really?? No valet or park assist?

Not quite sure about that new information screen. Just from the views in this video, it looks like it would be subject to some glare issues. I have a 2020 MDX and even though the 2-screen setup may look dated, both screens are very usable and I really haven't had any glare issues. Anyone with a 2022 MDX ? What's your experience with that larger screen?

We have a 91 Legend in the driveway with 68,000 miles on it and no problems with it ever. It was our first luxury car buy. My husband refuses to get rid of it. Lol

After years of VWs, my husband says no more German cars. Refuses to buy Mercedes, BMW, or even British Rovers. I have to say we have owned 3 Acuras and it is gas, oil, tires, batteries, and wiper blades that are the only things we have ever needed. We sold a 7 year old RDX and took a hit because of the age. The new MDX looks amazing. BTW, we also own a 94 Volvo Turbo wagon with less than 70,000 miles, a new Honda van which we use for our Old English Sheepdogs, and 2018 Honda Accord.

The 2nd Gen MDX was more Trunk/SUV like and the 3rd Gen was more crossover/large sports wagon like. You saved almost 300-400lbs in weight with the 3rd Gen and mpgs were 26-30 on the hwy with the 6AT, 9AT, or 7DCT.

I like the way it shows the speed limit on the dash. Sometimes I change speed limits or am in an area I don't know and it's handy to check. My 2016 MDX has the auto heat/cooled seats feature, so that's not new. But so, so glad it's a button and not on a touchscreen! Excited to get traffic info on maps when driving. Often I would have my phone and car navigating at the same time. My passenger would tell me traffic info while the car would allow me to easily look over and see which lane I need to be in. If I didn't have a passenger it was much more difficult.
