Best Acura ever.

Acura did a great job of redoing the Acura for 2022; it's quiet, which my previous RDX was not, it rides and handles very well, especially for the size of the vehicle, it has enough power when you need it, shifts extremely well, better than the previous 8 speed automatic. In general, this '22' MDX has been better than anticipated, thus far. The new interior is a big plus and the base AWD has the equipment that previous models would require an upgrade to get. So far, Acura has a winner with an updated, not perfect to be sure, but better than before electronics. Best value is the base SH-AWD as long as you use your phone for navigation, etc., it comes with the panoramic roof as standard along with the necessary safety items.

Technology is not their strong suit

The 2022 MDX was marketed as the new technology leader for Acura, but they failed at the basics. The wireless charger will not work with Apple’s IPhone 12 Pro Max. Acura knows about the issue, and tried to blame Apple when I called, but then they seemed to admit they have a problem. The on dash window display castes a nasty glare on the windshield on bright sunny days. The MDX is supposed to show you the speed limit on any given highway, and I know it works perfectly with their RDX, but not this vehicle. Today on a 55 mph highway I was shown to have a 90 mph speed limit, and then a bit later it was 25 mph and then it would just go off and on. I’ll try driving it again tomorrow to see how it performs otherwise, but these are all problems that should not be present on their flagship vehicle!

Poor technology /infotainment system

I’m new to the Acura family having driven Infiniti SUVs for the last 10 years. I fell in love with the drive and appearance of the new 2022 MDX while car shopping but my frustration with the technology system over shadows the positive attributes of the car. Like another reviewer has shared, the glitches with the infotainment system are extremely frustrating (and dangerous to deal with while driving). The Apple car play randomly disconnects. Sometimes it comes back on 20-30 seconds later, sometimes not. When it does not connect again, you need to manually reconnect it. For some reason I can not use my phone at all when connected to car play. So when I am a passenger in the car, I can not use the phone at all, otherwise the XM radio turns off (I’m not trying to play any audio or video on the phone, just checking email will turn off XM). There is some issue with Waze. I can not connect to Waze once the car (and car play) are on. I have to turn off the WiFi on my phone so as to disconnect from car play in order to be able to use the Waze app on my phone, then turn WiFi back on and I will be asked if I want to connect to car play, and then the Waze works they car play. I’ve taken it back to the dealership twice. The second time they did a hard reset of the system (described as manually disconnecting the wiring from the system and then reconnecting). I’m still having the same issues described above.

Little back story purchased mine on March of 2021 owning the vehicle for 2 weeks the radio went bad turning on and off 2 months pass by the battery went bad then another 2 months pass by the starter decide to leave stuck in the middle of the road at a light ! 2 months pass by the radio amplifier went bad 1 month goes by the front passenger shock starts making noise yes the car has warranty and was serviced by Acura! But today the braking system lights are on as well as the low speed sensors my dash looks like a Christmas tree called Acura main branch to explain that this car came out a lemon all the day is it has warranty. I explained that the total investment in this MDX is 38k out of the 61k they told me at the dealership they can buy it back but I will lose that 38k to start another finance on the 23 model looked at him and laughed! Buyers Please beware for those new Acura MDX they are lemons !!!

Rock chips in the brakes for days !

Overall I love the look and despite what others might say about the infotainment system it served me well. The only complain after 1 year and 12000 km is the rock chips getting stuck on rotors backplate. I would say at least 20 times, getting stuck for on average 3-4 days. And it makes the car sound like trash Finally decided to take it to the dealer and they said they will have to take it apart everytime and there's nothing they can do about it.
