Acura MDX

Model Years Produced: 2022 to Current

Newly redesigned for 2022, the MDX is…fine. It has great handling but not a super great ride. It’s reasonably quick, but not fast. It has a nicer interior than its predecessor, but it’s certainly not class-leading compared to the Genesis GV80 or Volvo XC90. Where the MDX will likely excel is on the reliability front, though even the Lexus GX 460 has it beat there – though it must be said that the MDX handles much better than the GX 460. Ultimately, the MDX is a good car, though is outclassed in a segment of great cars.

Verdict

Pros

• Great handling, especially on the Type S model
• Sharp styling
• Good predicted reliability

Cons

• Infotainment is somewhat frustrating to use
• 2nd and 3rd rows are lacking features that its competitors have, like power-folding rear seats and USB ports standard
