Great family SUV

Only owned the new 2022 MDX SH-AWD for a few weeks and I love this car! Initially, I had test drove the Highlander, Lexus HX350L, Subaru Ascent and this MDX model was the most enjoyable to drive for comfort and engine power. Exterior of the 2022 MDX is elegant but sporty - and looks and drives like a smaller car than the actual dimensions reveal. The front Acura grill is more to my taste than the Lexus RX350. Already gone on a road trip with the 2022 MDX to the mountains (3 hours away) with my family of 4 and two dogs and it was a dream to drive and fun to take on the road. Plenty of room in the 2nd row and 3rd row worked great for my teenager. It was easy for kids and dogs to get to the 3rd row when center 2nd row seat was removed for the trip. Was easy to adapt to the Infotainment system although touch screen would have been nice. However, the Apple CarPlay streamlines everything and obviates the need for an Acura navigation system. Safety features are excellent - cruise control slows down automatically if senses a car is too close in front of you and lane assist was surprisingly effective. Parallel parking was easy with the cameras.

I bought the base MDX model in September, 2021 to replace my 2011 Pilot - largely because it was on the lot in metallic red with the tan interior; that combo really caught my eye. I had test driven a number of vehicles before I got to Acura. The dealer had to tell me that the upholstery is the leatherette material vice "real" leather, the quality is so high. As soon as I sat in the driver's seat I knew the 2022 MDX was what I was looking for. I'm 6'3" and the front seating area is the best I've ever experienced. After 6,500 miles of every type of driving, it's averaging 20.1 MPG. Gets up to 26 on the highway. This car has operated perfectly with zero mechanical or electrical issues. The only two things that don't work well is the phone charging pad and the USB drive music interface. But with the Apple Play interface functioning seamlessly I don't even notice any longer. You don't need an internal navigation system in a car any longer - it's redundant. I can stream Amazon Music or any other music app. The touchpad interface does require some time to master, but once you do it's fantastic and cutting edge - right at your right fingertips with the comfy hand rest right above it. I would not want a touchscreen interface and get all the fingerprints and other smears on the crystal clear display. I love driving this car. The ride is luxurious, and handling the perfect balance of responsiveness and luxury. It is not the fastest car of this class out there, but perfectly acceptable for me. I love the 10-speed transmission. Summary: Very, very happy I purchased this vehicle. The base model is loaded with technology and performance, so I don't feel like I had wished I bought one of the more expensive models.

I really love this SUV. I have a 21TLX and I love the tech on the car and decided to also get a family SUV. The gas mileage isn’t too bad either. (I drive about 65 miles a day 5 days a week and I use about $60 - $70 of gas. It fills up with about $83 with gas prices being upwards of $4.30). The pros to the SUV is it looks nice from the outside and it looks great on the inside. It’s pretty roomy and very comfortable but the 3rd row is really not spacious. It’ll fit kids comfortably but not adults. The sloping roofline makes the 3rd row lack head room. The technology is also quite extensive for not being a top of the line model. I have an ELS system that sounds good but it’s not as good as the 3D ELS System offered in the more upgraded models. It has the ambient light on all of the doors which is nice and the big screen is nice as well. My favorite tech of the car aside from the Acura Watch safety features is the tachometer. It’s fully digital and somewhat customizable though it would have been nice to see it a bit more customizable. I love how the little MDX in the center of the tachometer mimics the lights of the actual car. For example, when you step on the brakes, the brake lights come on on the little digital MDX. Same with the turn signals and headlights. Some other nice touches on the car are the panoramic sunroof, 3 memory seat settings even on the passenger side, rain sensing wipers, wireless charger, and even wireless apple car play. Now for the Cons: it’s. 2022 and it’s a full redesign, so I’ve seen the issues first hand. The screen will reset itself randomly. I have about 5,000 miles and it’s done it 2 times…both when the apple carplay started to glitch out. I even had a key issue once while starting the car through the app. I had to turn off the car and turn it back on with the key. Some other cons is despite it being a lower end model, at the price point of $53k, you would think remote start and fog lights would be standard. I didn’t want to spend an extra $6,000 for the A-Spec just for the fog lights. The wireless apple CarPlay is cool but at random times the audio cuts off for a second or so but doesn’t last longer than 30 seconds when it starts to cut off. This is something I’ve experienced on every wireless apple carplay vehicles I’ve test driven so it’s not just Acura. I tested out a Kia, Hyundai, Cadillac, and a Chevy Tahoe and they all had the same cutting off issues with wireless apple car play. Another con is I’m 6’ 1” so when the seat slides back to let me exit the car, it can hit the knees of the person behind you. It becomes a bigger issue if you have someone in the 3rd row. While the second row moves back and forth to give more space to the rear, if it’s forward the driver seat makes it a very tight squeeze and it makes it harder for the second row passenger to get out. Aside from those issues, I still love the car and the amenities and comfort it brings. I don’t have kids so I can’t give a review based off of how family friendly the SUV is but I do carry friends quite often and we’ve been on 3 trips already with 7 people in the car and it’s not too bad of a ride. Granted I have 2 fun sized friends (under 5’ 2”) and they were fine in the 3rd row.

Disappointed

We extended our previous MDX lease so we could wait for this 2022. Three days after getting it home, the car started calling onstar emergency. We couldn’t stop it. It just kept calling. Police called us, Sirius XM was alerted and it went on all night til next morning when my husband got in it at 5am and drove over an hour to dealer. A week later the infotainment system malfunctioned with warnings and continues to do so and they say they don’t have a fix. Now the AC isn’t working well. And we got a crack in the windshield and they say all sold out of front windows! All over the country! I’ve owned 7 Acura’s and never had this. Living in MA with a lemon law I would’ve thought it could help but it doesn’t. Owned it 3 1/2 months and it’s been at the dealer shop 6 times for 5 days or more. They said they’re having many problems with the 2022. Buyer beware.

Best MDX yet!

This is my 13 Acura (8th MDX). The make over was over due. I think the ride and handling is on par with any other luxury SUV. I would recommend the A-spec which comes very well appointed. The leather interior is a big improvement. As for handling and ride, Acura has always excelled, but it is an obvious improvement. The infotainment system is a slight learning curve, but manageable. Just find a 14 year old to help set everything up and you will be good! I use to think the MDX was just a family SUV but not anymore! It’s stylish and sporty the way it should be!
