New MDX is nice!

I had a 2019 MDX Sport Hybrid Tech, and just recently turned in my lease and got a 2022 MDX Tech. While I miss the gas mileage @5-27 regularly, and overall power of the Hybrid (it was definitely faster) I LOVE the ride of my 2022. It feels so much more planted down with the double wishbone front suspension. I did not like the touchpad when I first got it, but once you sit and set everything up in one shot - it is a lot easier to use. I live for my steering wheel controls and Siri and Apple Car play are wonderful just like in the last one Overall a much better ride for sure. Handles like a dream for such a big vehicle. The Interior finally feels luxurious!!

We’ve had our MDX for about 18 months and have 40,000 miles on it. No issues yet. Still drives like new. We’ve found it to be useful in hauling light items, grand-kids, and for long road trips. Gas mileage as advertised. Handles well. Seats are very comfortable. Sound system is excellent.

Sharp vehicle, loads of tech, drives great

Upgraded from a 2013 RDX to an A-Spec MDX, vehicle is a great upgrade from my previous vehicle. Wife has a 2017 MDX and the '22 has a significantly upgraded interior with all the latest technology, while improving on the ride and driving experience. Great size vehicle if you need additional space and great for long distance road trips.

only 500 miles still love the car I had ordered a ford Bronco it took over a year to show up after seeing it person I canceled order and got my 500 deposit right away. looks great but interior did not feel like a 50,000 car. It was either a bronco or a mdx different suv but the same price range in my budget. the mdx is a great looking car, I just wish the rear would be nicer, I only got the base sh-awd since it already had apple car play. after connecting your phone to your car you can easily talk to siri what you would normally do, weather and directions for me. also that the mdx had a proven V6 not the turbo which the other brands are doing. my 18 tlx a-spec V6 had zero 80,000 trouble free miles the only thing I replace was batteries and tires. it only took me 2 days to feel confident using the touch pad entertainment system. also no fingerprints. I was confused for the first day playing with radio. now the only thing I need to learn is how to set up favorite stations. I mostly learned by just playing around with it. the manual wasn't very helpful but Youtube help. the mileage is 19-21 since I like to drive with a little pep. I was lucky to get this car i only waited for 3 to 4 weeks the dealer already had this on ordered and they were just waiting for it to be built. out of 12 mdx in transit 2 were not sold yet. the only discount is 1000 loyalty just msrp. so if you are willing to wait for a few more months to get a good deal hang in there. I didn't want to wait so early xmas present in december. I can here the tire noise maybe its because its not a michelin. also its not a tech so no ambient lighting if that what you want. the 9 speaker base stereo is good enough. when the kids are watching youtube on your cell phone the speaker project in your car stereo. I'm sure there tons more to do with the car. since everybody has a palisades, telluride pilot and highlander this is a great suv alternative. I believe you would be happy with this car.

The good, the bad and the ugly

The Good: My previous ride was a 2018 MDX. My 2022 MDX (A Spec) is a serious upgrade. The handling and overall ride feels much better. The interior is light years ahead. The transmission, night and day - better. ELS surround sound is impressive, and the large sunroof is much appreciated. Feels bigger inside while not riding or feeling bigger outside. The exterior styling looks slick. Overall,  I found the price to be not much more than a loaded Telluride or Pilot etc., and significantly less than an XC90 or Q7. For me, this was the sweet spot. You can now move the position of the crossbars on the roof - nice. Power is adequate.  The Bad: Tires are louder than they should be. The touchpad is a learning curve and isn't the best. If you are using Apple CarPlay, the only way to change the radio channel is with the steering wheel dial to scroll thru favorites. Wish it was a hybrid.  The Ugly: Tech gremlins live within. There are known issues with Iphone 12, but I have an Iphone XR (with up to date IOS). My Sirius cuts out intermittently (50% of the time)  when it connects to Apple Car Play, and then i'm forced to go to the home screen, choose FM, go back to the home screen, and choose Sirius if I want to listen to XM radio. It seems to especially dislike Waze, anybody out there like using Waze like I do? I video'd this issue with the salesperson so that there was no doubt.  I was told by the Service Dept today to delete the Waze app, while another tech told me I didn't have to do it. Bottom line, Acura is working on it, but it could take 6-8 months is what i was told. I asked if my problem was common, they said they've seen some issues, but I was their first with the new MDX.  Bottom line, if you have an Iphone, especially if you like using Waze, test CarPlay  many times over to see if you might have issues too. I used Waze and Apple Car Play all day long on my 2018 MDX without issue, so despite the fact that one Acura Tech blamed Waze, I'm convinced that it's Acura that has the issue. I've had phone calls that disappear and switch back to XM, and I've had the touchpad not respond and allow me to answer an incoming phone call.  Acura, are you listening, your system is buggy and needs fixing.  Please.
