After watching every car reviewer on most all 3-row SUV's and also driving for a year, all luxury models, nothing even comes close to this terrific well thought out and totally inside and out remodel. Acura was smart to keep the tried and tested six and that combined with the in-house designed 10 speed just works so smoothly unlike all the competition. The only thing I drove close to this was the BMW X5, but BMW's have a bad reputation when the warranty runs out, (then you pay big time) and take a look at parts you can not find and oil changes costing many hundreds of dollars. Go to Scotty Kilmer on this one and other European models that have that sweet smell for a while, but unlike the Acura's and Lexus models just disappoint over time. Time tells all things and Acura MDX has been the number one best seller with over one million MDX's sold and this one it off the charts impressive in every way. So many things like they had a think tank in engineering etc. come together to say let's make something NO one else will ever try. They did just that and I bought this Pearl Red and even my wife of 53 years loves the color and that is the only shock I had with the MDX. My only task is now watching tutorials on how to understand a huge computer on four wheels, as tech is everywhere in the Acura MDX. Also, as an author with eight books published I can go with just the third row down and carry 40 cases of my latest book to autograph signings and still seat five or four with the back seat center pull out seat. A neat trick there too!

I’ve had my 22 Advance for a week now and I can not say how in love I am with this car. Acura is just getting better and better

Just purchased a 2022 Advance Model for my wife. Black pearl with added roof crossbars and hitch. I didn’t think too much of it at first but after driving it for a few days now I must say, it’s an absolute fantastic car. The interior quality is fantastic and the removable middle seat is great. Perfect family car. It a bit long in the front end and we are still getting used to that over our 2010 MDX. The steering wheel also feels really nice. The tech is almost overload. It will take a while to figure everything out from the safety features and settings. My daily is a 5-series. I ll probably be sneaking away with my wife’s car a lot more often to keep “testing” the MDX out.

This reviewer is amazing...in no other reviews will you find the knowledge and detail presented here. Great job !

Great, IN DEPTH review by Hanson. All the changes are totally tech-forward & impressive! I actually love my 2017 Acura MDX w tech package, but am waiting to first see the MDX type-S, before making a decision. I’ve been a long time believer in Honda/Acura products. Whatever you’re paying for your Acura, you can expect to pay TOO MUCH MORE in a German/European vehicle and without the long term RELIABILITY. To me SAFETY & RELIABILITY means everything. Have a nice day.

Great review- you covered things others didn’t keep up the great work 👍

Just drove 14 luxary SUV's this 2022 total MDX IS BY FAR THE BEST. PAID CASH TODAY FOR THE RED BABY. LOVE ACURA AND HONDA TOO! GREAT JOB ON THIS 2022 TOTAL CHANGE INSIDE AND OUT!

I think this is the best review for the new mdx you did a great job I knew I wanted this car from before not now it's a I got to have it now lol

Really nice redesign and love it. Thank you.

Thank you for the very good review, loved it! The new Acura MDX is the suv to go for

Ive had my 2022 MDX for a year now and absolutely love it. It's so smooth and Apple car play is very good

Great review. Thanks so much!

Great review. Nice to get your take on the 2022 MDX.

Got to say Hanson you do a great review , always enjoy your reviews.

This is our next family suv. Great review!

Most detailed review of the Acura MDX Advance Package. Good job, Hansen! In the market for the Advance Package but supply is low at the moment and I prefer not to pay MSRP.

Love the interior! Everything looks amazing (materials and organization). Got in one at a dealership and it's even better in person. Of course, the exterior is also gorgeous.

Very nice review!! Keep em coming!!

I don’t normally make comments in KZfaq. I love to watch car reviews and can’t believe I haven’t come across you till now. Great review man! I have a 2017 MDX and am thinking of upgrading to the 2022. Great info man!

Excellent review

Great review. Almost convinced me to go buy one 😊

Well done Hanson! Thank you Sir!

Great review, I was leaning on getting one for my wife and your review definitely helped my opinion on it. When we test drove It I was pretty impressed by the handling and technology in the car

Excellent 👍 Very well explained 👍

Great review.

Awesome review. Very detailed and to the point. Subscribed! Are you planning to compare MDX with other SUV’s I still think Acura should have had touchscreen, just my opinion. And also lane changing cameras similar to Palisade, Telluride, GV, etc.

Great job on the review! You have a new subscriber =)

Subscribed ...Honda forever !

Thumbs up here. I just bought my 2022 mdx and I'm in love

Great review! With family, I am seriously considering selling my TLX Type S and using that money to buy a 22 - 24 MDX.

Hey Man, a very Good overall review.... Best I've seen the past week or so. No one emphasized the Interior lighting changes- that is very Cool. Even at 69 YO , I like Gadgets. This model is a wonderful upgrade from mine , at 201 MDX Advance. I would like to [pint out : Mine has 245/45 ratio tires, the new one has 50 ratio tires. When I out mine into Sport Driving Dynamic mode , the Advance package introduces Suspension Dampening together with the throttle and steering enhancements . The 45 ratio ties in Sport mode feel way too hard forcing me to go back to Normal mode. When I had a Loaner with 50 ratio ties, it was definetely better . I presume this MDX also engages suspension dampening !!

I do love this such new MDX 2022 !

I love my 2017 MDX with Advance package. The new one has a lot of upgrades and I like it too. There are some things I don't quite like like using the same engine with the same hp but the vehicle is bigger and heavier which is not ideal. The other one is the exterior - the old MDX (post-facelift) looks better to me. I don't quite like the rear lights of the old MDX but I don't like them on the new one as well. Also there are some shiny plastic (piano black) parts in the interior and this is a slight step back for me. Other than that a solid upgrade and I wish someday I get the new model. That said I plan on driving my MDX for at least 4-5 more years.

Great review! I’m going to trade my 2016 mdx for this new one!

Attention to folks shopping between non advance and advance models regarding ambient lighting in my aspec the light strip is just on top of the door trim and footwell, advance gives you more lightstrip on the dash and and below door switches. Lol I am scorned.

3rd row is for kids or Adults that you don't like 😅😅😅😅👍

I am just worried about reliability. I read on boards about the transmission issues and sudden stalling of the engine.

a big pro: power front seats are the same for pilot and co-pilot. the only mid-priced suv to have this.

wow im really impressed

Just ordered mine today. The almost dealer breakers for me were: cheap headliner, piano black plastic center console, intrusive fake engine noise, cheaper interior materials compared to our rx350. However, i was sold by the wireless CarPlay, standard digital gauge, panoramic sunroof and superb handling.

Great review. I don’t know why they eliminated the Remote Start in the Tech package. Just ordered a ‘22 and realized that after the fact.

I like the outside shot of the car, it provide a better view of the car. MDX has always had one issue that is annoying to me ==> the floating horizontal exhaust. It always seems like an after thought. It makes it seem like the fit-&-finish is lacking.... Anyway, awesome review style/info

My only gripe from reading the reviews and the Acura web site is the Color combos. I have a Canyon Bronze Metalic - not too many on the road, but is a standout as many people have complimented me on it with an Espresso interior. Acura dropped the Canyon Bronze color but retained the Espresso interior but only in the White exterior color. I personally don't embrace Black leather interiors. Or for that matter, they have a beautiful new Platinum color,but only paired with Black interior. A nice two tone grey would have been spectacular. Beggars can't be choosey. If Acura comes up with a Nice Trade up program (rade uip from my 2019 ) I would strongly going down that "road" ... THX again for nice succinct and informative Review.

Love the new MDX

Nice review. It would be helpful to see you sit on the second row seats and discuss leg room.

Anyone know where I can get the key fob cover and the rain visors for this car?

do you know any good out door price for 2022 MDX?

This Acura generation is really nice 👌🏾

I have a Type S. Incredible ride and very versatile. Came from BMW X5. Very ergonomic from the driver’s seat. Love the tech compared to my ‘15 BMW. Hope it has good reliability, TBD.

You didn’t say a word about NVH of MDX... as a current owner one of our major complaint is the interior noise

I’m trying to get one tomorrow. :)

This Advanced MDX should now include a working Dashcam (front and rear) that records when you start your engine using micro-sd card. Something to think about.

If you had to pick would you take 22 Acura MDX or 22 Lexus RX350L? I like to size of the MDX but I think long term Lexus would hold up better over time as for as reliability. I don't like the fact that MDX has a timing belt which is a big maintenance cost at 100k miles($2300). The Lexus RX350L has a timing chain.

Leaver or lever?

It really is a great car, if you are in the market its a no brainer when comparing to its class.

Is there a cargo cover/security shade for the rear space? We had it on our 2010

If you can afford it, it looks like a good long-distance tralling SUV. The 19MPG/290HP/267TQ aren't best/fun for long distance; however, everything else seems fine.

Picked mine up in Fathom Blue Pearl (Graystone interior) today, also in the Advance trim. Looking forward to learning all the features hands-on and your detailed explanations and descriptions help a lot. Great video. Thank you!

Can you do one of the TLX Advance? Thanks!

I have the 2022 mdx and it's more like 15-16 mpg

This is a very high quality reviews and very thorough ,. Good job Sir. I'm on the market for a suv. I'm thinking the GV80 I was want to look in to the MDX but the 2 reviews from Steve hemis and one other guy they all said the MDX has more road noise. That will bug me that's why I look elsewhere.

SL, How did you like Acura's Red Color.... I'm debating that color or the Liquid Metal look .

No ventilated 2nd row seats?

Are the headlights adaptive? Power folding mirrors?

Great SUV but I don't like digital cluster. I want my analogue speedometer.

Cant wait for type S

My favourite SUV

How much price in this car

Are used to have an 02 Acura MDX and I loved it. One of my favorite cars however after that I moved over to the Hyundai brand because it was a much lower price and the warranty was phenomenal it was a full five-year 60,000 mile warranty. I also did not like the looks and the direction the MDX was going. This latest one is a big improvement for sure. It’s the first time I’ve even looked at an MDX several years. Once I started buying holidays I became hurts. The latest 2020 to Tucson in Santa Fe are amazing vehicles and just loaded with tech in a very reasonable price and phenomenal warranty. They may not be quite as solid as an MDX but for the difference in price that’s a direction I went. I’ll definitely check out the 2020 to MDX and see what’s going on with it before I make my next purchase. Right now I’m looking at a 2022 Hyundai Tucson or Santa Fe highbred. Both have a ton of horsepower and specifically thinking of the plug-in hybrid which gets 32 miles just on the battery but I still have a turbo engine at 182 hp backing it up for a total horsepower of over 240. Best of all worlds. All wheel drive course as well.

I’m still absolutely in love with my ‘14 MDX, this new one is gorgeous as well but it looks like a Mazda CX-9.

I hope a next gen crv use mdx as a basis...

Pause@8:17 The design details... awesome. (The font is legible, to large, to close, etc. The icons aren't appropriate, too large, too shapeless/close, etc.) Anyway, Tesla should pay attention to quality design/build.

I have a 2020 MDX and love it! I must say, the upgrades on the 2022 gives it a wow factor. I’ve been asking for a panoramic moonroof since I had a 2010 MDX. 👌🏼

I fast forwarded through some of the parts so, pardon me if I missed this, but does it still have the engine start/stop "feature"? Thanks!

Dang! I was about to buy a low mileage 2018 MDX but I’m thinking of cancelling it.

Gloss black below the climate control should have been matte wood

I've seen a lot of reviews on not liking the touch pad. How many times are you going to play with the screen while driving.. lock it and leave it.. pull over and change if need be

Why did the keep the same motor ?

Didn’t mention pricing

CAN THE 3RD ROW SEATS BE COMPLETELY REMOVED OR ONLY FOLDED DOWN 🤔

Lol. I own an 2009 and a 2014 Mdx and man it’s seems they never get the Tech right. Lol. I love them though. 205k on my 2009

That red color is stunning 😍

Ironic old MDX @ 2:58

Range of 178 with over half a tank of fuel means this thing is terrible on gas. My 21 X5 gets 520 miles on a tank and I average 27MPG.

Pause@8:54 wow, truly flat. I really really like the design engineers for this MDX. They did an awesome job. Thoughtful people. THE BAD: I don't like the busy dashboard, the gloss-black paint, the unnecessary curves and molds on the dash -- way too busy/old.-style. Even the leather stitching/wrap around the display is overkill to me. Are all these molds and curve really appealing to people? It's puts a strain/weight on my eyes. I feel stressed looking at them -- too busy, to cluttered, totally unnecessary, to me :)

👍🏻 Acura

The backrow is reserved for kids and adults that you dont like!! haha

This is a GREAT SUV AND I WOULD LOVE IT....but I can’t see me paying 46k-50k for a car

What brand is that SUV? Is it a Mazda?

Acura should include digital rear mirror, hill descent control and backing up emergency brake if you call yourself a 2022 luxury family suv. These safety features are actually nothing new or special in today’s vehicles. Even Toyota or Subaru has them.

I disagree that touchscreens are difficult. Touch pads and dials certainly are. I don't want a learning curve with my infotainment screen. Just give us a touchscreen, please.

i shoulda buy MDX ...im not happy with my RDX

People that you dont like in The 3rd row? Hahaha

OH GOD.. FINALLY.. ACURA REALIZED THEIR INTERIOR IS ABOUT SAME AS THEIR HONDA... ACURA WAS NEVER IN MY LIST FOR LUXURY BRAND.. NOT EVEN CLOSE. NOW THIS NEW DESIGN IS CLOSER TO LUXURY INTERIOR

Over 50% of the video on technology!??

If your gonna get a MDX make sure it's either a A Spec or Type S.

Can’t wait for all the digital malfunctions to start. Gonna be fun…

No hybrid version? 😭😭😭

don't like all digital instrument panel I had a car that the panel went out and I could no longer view important features such as the gas monitor- ran out of gas and could not tell because the cluster went out and it got dangerous but I was able to pull over safely, possibly the light bulb went out. But with analog instruments you don't have to worry about that. And this car has copied some of the Mazda Cx-9 style.

I think the interior design is eye dizzying, not eye catching
