AA has the best detailed car reviews in youtube.

They nailed it on this model. This should sell well.

Alex consistently offers the most thorough, detailed, comprehensive auto reviews I have seen. Well done!

Congratulations Acura. I haven’t desired a single Acura since the Acura TL Type-S. Looks like they finally got their Mojo back

The Acura is sharp looking and has arguably the best awd system in its class. Add that with great value and pricing...We will be at our local Acura dealer this summer.

Had a 2015 mdx advanced and currently a 2017 tech. Every time I try the competition I come back to the MDX. My take is it does everything VERY well but nothing perfectly. I don't need perfection, just something that works out very well and on budget. Type S is probably next for me.

There are plenty of auto reviewers on youtube BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE ALEX. He's in a class by himself. Thanks Alex!

Best reviewer on KZfaq. Hands down.

This guy is the best auto reviewer on the Internet. I think I'll subscribe.

So glad Acura kept the V6. A 2.0T has no place here.

Finally a truly premium Acura flagship SUV is back

I’m in Half Moon Bay temporarily for work and those winds were ridiculous. Great job as always. Big fan of your work.

Well done Acura

How fast it down shifts and that Engine growl. My gawd, Vtec just kicked in yosss

Just got the internet offer for the Advanced spec for $48.4K without tax and destination charge. Looks like a good deal for 13K of the list at this time of year. I am in NC

Your is always the no-nonsense, pragmatic and clear review I look for. Thanks for another terrific one!

Very nice Acura. Will take this over the RX anyday. Very handsome SUV

Hi Alex! Just popping in to say that I live your reviews. Years ago, I had contemplated maybe doing car reviews on KZfaq. I saw your reviews and went no further. Honestly, there’s no better review around. I watch others, as well, and they are good, but you’re the best. I can’t imagine buying a car without watching your review first. Be well and continued success.

Excellent review! I really enjoyed it, very informative! Much appreciate!

Update! After driving every luxury SUV. I bought the 2022 MDX. Super smooth, super silent, super comfortable and the boxes are X for sure. Very smooth 10 speed. Pick it up Monday at 11:00 A.M. Bought the super bright red metalic. Like the full moon roof too. This thing is huge, but drives like a much smaller SUV. Acura is on a role with this MDX!

Excellent review as usual. Thank you. 👍🏾👌🏾

Great review as always Alex, can't wait to see your review on type S.

His review is the most accurate and informative! He is very knowledgeable. I am enjoying his reviews.

Mom's about to run to the dealerships. Good job Acura!! This will continue to be the Best selling 3row lux suv.

The removable middle first debuted in the 2008-2013 Highlander. Slid into a spot underneath the front center console. Definitely was a awesome feature, glad to see Acura bring this feature back from the graveyard.

No brainer, MDX is my picked above all

Always enjoy your reviews, Alex. This is at the top of my list, but I'm super curious about the Type-S version. So it looks like I'll have to wait a little while longer.

Sh-awd is standard on A-Spec and Advance trims. Optional on tech and base.

The 2022 MDX looks so good!

The base model of MDX gets you so much for the money. Our lease on Pilot is going away in 5 months. MDX it will be this time in Black.

As usual, better than the Lexus equivalent.

Great review/info Mr.Alex, Acura should have made ventilation on all seats standard and have a front passenger moonroof standard on the base models with the full length sunroof been standing on the other models.

Ultimate Luxury Family Hauler 🤔

I’ve watched like three other reviews about the new MDX but I am waiting for Alex for the review.

12:41 Time to play hide and go seek with the keys. lol

I did not realize until now that you are local to me-- hope you are safe and not washed away!

Alex's most favorite: "Winding mountain road" Alex's least favorite: "Your mother in law"

The MDX TYPE-S is going to get an air suspension. When they first announced the teaser video they said on their website that it will get an advanced air suspension, but they took it off and replaced it with just Brembo brakes.

Will sell fast and quick , moms already has interest for this over gv

Thanks Alex!!! I waited for the outgoing model to be replaced with this new one, very glad I waited! Now with my ‘18 RDX, all of my everyday cars have a J35 variant!! 🤠 That means I’m going to be doing Honda timing belts & water pumps for the remainder of my life, seems like 🤣

Cannot wait for you to show us the A-Spec! This new MDX might just quash my Euro-Lust... Thanks Alex!

Really looking forward to test driving this. I wish the infotainment was a touchscreen, other than that it's basically perfect for me.

Excellent reviews on MDX 2022

If I remember correctly, the China versions have had massage seats as an option for years on the TLX and CDX... weird they just haven't done it elsewhere.

Ur the best car reviewer in KZfaq. THANK U

Really good job on the narrative.

It's been well over a dozen years since I could call an Acura, stunningly handsome.

Soooo glad to see the new 10 speed in there

Many thanks for great video as usual👍 Do you know by any chance if it will be released on European markets?

We picked this!! And now a 2 month wait.

Trunk comfort 9/10 😂👍

Ha the 3rd seat for your mother in law exactly. Brilliant!

Just got a ‘24 MDX SH-AWD with tech pkg. crazy discounts right now because the ‘25 is coming soon with touch screen.

Hi Alex, Thank you for your always accurate and independent reviews. I see you added in the comparation entries like the X5 and GLE, and others like the XC90 wich have a 3rd row on all trims, but you left out the Genesis GV80. Is there any particular reason? I mean you are adding front and rear wheel drive, as well as 3rd row standard and optional. I'm considering the GV80, But I would like to cross shop with the new MDX, so if possible, please include the GV80 on your full review> Thank you!

When I first saw the design before I glanced at the badge ... was convinced it was the next gen Mazda CX-9

I find it odd they didn’t include vents in the 3rd row. My Pilot has it and is perfect for animals in the trunk.

I swear it looks alot like a CX-9 which isn't a bad thing at all

250lbs heavier does suck with no extra power but with the new design, interior its a great buy. Plz make a Sport Hybrid for a mid range model!!!!

Hey Alex, as usual Perfect review. I was looking confused between 3 row suv or mini van. I have a 6 yrs old. But after watching this I am leaning towards max. Am a fan of SH-AWD which i will miss in mini van if I buy one. Did you really throw the keys to show the proximity hatch sensor 😀

Looks like there’s a decent amount of space in the engine bay , which should make it easier to work on!

That grill screams Game of Thrones.

You can get a heated steering wheel on all trim but it’s only standard on the advanced. It’s a like $500 add on for all the other trims.

The Advance @ $60k is interesting case. The loaded GV80 2.5T is $64k, but has primo interior, better infotainment, and arguably better styled. However, it is missing the vaunted 3rd-row and Acura customer base, plus resale is unknown(the G90 and G80 don't have exactly high resale values).

those rear lights make me think of the square root sign (or mirrored if you're looking at the right side) lol *although they're not an exact match, I know*

great video

I want to run out and buy one right now but I must wait for the Type-S to come out. I'm probably going to buy the A-Spec but if the Type-S isn't 70K it's mine.

This car is great

The Toyota Highlander use to have a removable middle seat in the 2nd generation

I like MDX but timing belt. I wish Acura engineer could use timing chain.

What is an Infiniti Q7...think you merged Audi and Infiniti in your thoughts there. Lol. But as always great and fair review ...always appreciate and have great new year!

Sign me up for the MDX Type S.

Seems like Alex hates his mother in law! He wants to torment her by throwing her in the 3rd row.

Alex, Can you do a review of this vs the CX-9? I am on the fence, I like both cars. Wondering if I should wait and get this or get the Cx-9, the only issue about the mazda is that it looks like other Mazdas

Have you driven the 2022 base model mdx? Would like to see a review on that. I wish acura would include sh awd on all mdx instead of a option .

I’ll be interested to see how folks like the infotainment system. The MDX is an awesome car from many standpoints. I had a 2005 and 2015. Loved the powertrain, seats, 3rd Row, handling, and size. I loved the SH-AWD, but it’s a bit overrated since most people aren’t going to be throwing this thing through cornes and htting the gas while hitting curvy roads (SHAWD doesn’t engage if the gas isn’t engaged!). BUT, my issues with: Suspension would bottom out on not so broken pavement AND for the 2015 and beyond, the reason I will never buy another Acura...the infotainment system. They look great and work fine when you test drive and have it for a short time. HOWEVER, when living with one, it’s death by 1,000 papercuts...there is no one single issue, but an accumulation of head scratching, frustrating things found throughout Honda/Acura no matter how hard they try...I’m not betting this one will not fix that. Some tell tale signs: why did they make the Mode button THE largest button on the dash? How often do you need that? And the touchpad...hello, Lexus...can you inform Acura that touchpads are terrible? Overall, I liked my X5 better, and LOVED my 2017 Q7 better than both in every way. But, if price is a factor, the Acura isn’t a bad deal if you can deal with the infotainment....

The proportions are MUCH better than the outgoing MDX. However, the wheels are unimpressive!! They should have allowed to prototype wheels hit the production model.

The key throw out the trunk to activate the trunk close, lol!

Price needs to be adjusted to include replacement key costs associated with trunk comfort indexing.

Hi Alex, can you please complete your final review of the 2022 MDX?

once I found out that the type-S was an extra 12k more. had to settle for the regular advance trim (non type s)

It’s possibly the gear ratio and rev limits for the first few gears that leads to slower 0-60

I will choose Acura over Volvo for sure

You need to take over for motorweeks John Davis.... when he retires(he is great) Absolutely best reviewer on KZfaq and mainstream media.

I am curious about the comparison to Aviator when you do the full review.

Outstanding review. Question: does this MDX have reverse automatic braking when a fixed object is detected? I’m going to sell my 2019 RX350L for the new type S when available.

I have wasted a bucket load on so called German reliability. I had a 3 year old CLS 320CDI with 32,000 on the clock. I changed front shocks, and some suspension bushes. I had an intermittent engine warning light. The centre console had an annoying and constant creak, which I eventually managed to reduce to a bearable level with the assistance of folded card and a few strategically placed match sticks. All of which occurred before reaching 50,000 miles. I believe that the car was a £50,000 + purchase from new. I have had similar issues with the other highly rated and highly recommended marques that are so adored by the automotive journalists. I bought a Mazda 6 Tourer, fully loaded and good spec. I admit that I needed to change it for work purposes, but I was determined not to buy an estate from the aforementioned marques. I was really impressed by every aspect, and now I am currently looking towards a Genesis saloon. There doesn’t seem to be many available, but I am sure I will find a low mileage that is still under warranty. I have friends who have bought Lexus and have never looked back. A 1-2 second difference in 0-60 times is irrelevant in regards to the daily commute. I am interested in comfort and overall reliability...........

The drive mode and gear button selector look out of place. Positioning closer to the driver would have been better.

Telluride SX-P/L Night(Fall/Sky) or GV80 3.5T Prestige (7 seater) over this ! Not much brought to the table against the other two.

i want one!

Would the massage feature propel the front seat score to 10/10?

quick question: are there any "child seat" anchors on the 3rd row of the new MDX?

I’ll take a slightly rougher ride over an active air suspension that will eventually fail in a very expensive way.

It would be better if Acura has a 2nd row center console as dealer accessory. That way, you don’t have to choose between captain’s chair or bench seat, you get both.

How is the new MDX priced against the GV80 in the States? Here in Canada, the top trim MDX is only about $3000 more than the base GV80.

Looks awesome.. better than europian cars of 3 years life time

I checked Infiniti Q 60 Lexus GX 460 Toyota Highlander Lexus RX 350 Cadillac XT 6 I think I’m gonna get this one ☝️, are used to have Acura CL in the Acura RX in the past, now I have Lexus RX 350 GMC at4 1500 diesel , and I think I’m gonna switch back to Acura

One big advantage that Volvo has is that are CPO current-gen XC90’s. It’ll be a few years until these start coming off lease.

What do you think about the black piano finish for the front panel? It was such a disappointment for me.

Nice

wish Acura will make a light duty pick up truck with the same formula as the new MDX
