EV Channels Review
The 2022 Acura MDX is presented as a competitive and comfortable three-row SUV, positioned as Acura's flagship. Reviewers highlight its unique naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission as a significant strength, offering smooth power delivery and a pleasant linear band, though it requires higher RPMs for peak torque, which may be an adjustment for those accustomed to turbocharged engines. The redesign includes suspension tuning for improved handling without excessive stiffness, and the standard inclusion of blind-spot warning is praised. However, the most significant drawback identified is Acura's controversial touchpad-based infotainment control system, which is described as distracting, tedious, and potentially dangerous, detracting significantly from the overall user experience. Reliability for the MDX is noted as having been spotty in the past, warranting further investigation. Despite its strengths, the infotainment system is a major deterrent for the reviewers.
