The push button gear shift is also a great safety feature. I have a 2019 MDX A-spec with push button shifter and if you open the drivers door when your seat belt is un-buckled, and the car is in any gear (forward or reverse), it will automatically shift to park! This way you can't run yourself over, I know that sounds unlikely but people have been killed like that.

So I have listened to this review and many others! I was so impressed by the reviews we went and drove a 2022 Acura MDX last week! I can honestly say I was as disappointed as I have ever been in my 58 years of driving in this vehicle! The ride was uneven on good roads and terrible on side roads! The 10 speed transmission was disappointing as its shits were constant! The instrument will require a large learning curve! The interior of the car was very nice and it did have leather seats! We are Lexus, Toyota and Mercedes people! I did own an Accord, Civic and Fit and we likes all those cars especially the Fit and Accord! We did not like and would not buy the MDX!

Great MDC and Nice video.

You two are hilarious!!! And awesome together!

I know the rest of the car is great, but the pig on gas non turbo 3.5 liter is a massive deal killer for me. Question- what watch with the blue strap are you wearing?

down to this or an X5....

Thank you for another great review :). Your reviews really help. I currently drive a Jaguar Fpace and we are looking to upgrade to a bigger vehicle. We have twins who are 6 months old. I need space in Trunk to place Twin Stroller so a larger trunk is what we are looking for and we prefer a bench seat vs Captain chairs. What are your recommendations? thank you

Honda another car manufacturer who make cars that knows they have issues. Best SUV driven brand new how about you drive it for a year then let me see you say the same thing. Honda sucks Honda is a manufacturer with no ethics.

Overall boring design inside and out, but amazing review, good job, you got another new subscribe. Nice Omega seamaster by the way.

The push button shifter would be a deal breaker for me. I feel like I would have to look down to find it.

Nice review. Any AC Oulet or Vent for the 3rd row?

The car is great but I wish they also offered it with 2 row option. The 3rd row is useless for many and I am sure there are people who would prefer to have a larger regular storage area.

Looking for three row midsize. Can't wait to test drive it! Love the big wireless charger. Will have to learn the track pad. This looks so flexible! The removable 2nd row seat - I will never use it. One big omission is no massage seats on the top trim. Come on Acura, massage seats are awesome for long drives! They charge so much for the Advance package in the US. These should be on the top trim. I saw one on the road last weekend and it looks much bigger than the previous generation.

I was going to give you thumbs down for saying in the opening -" This may be the best suv I've driven ..." since I thought that was too much to say given how many nice cars you have actually driven. However, when Andrea pointed out that it has a new transmission gear I let it pass since I didn't know that.This Acura only offers heated steering wheel on higher trim which is ridiculous for this price range.Secondly, there is no excuse for not having touch screen and the built in navigation is not good. This review was really good as I'm used to watching one man review and here it is the two of you contributing harmoniously , very nice.

Машина шикарна! Кто знает, есть ли отличия между машинами для Канады и для США?

Love it

Good review, but damn, way too many commercials throughout. Turns me off from watching any more videos on your channel. (just trying to offer my humble opinion.)

Wait, is it a Mazda CX9

She is sexy!

Wise and Practical

Congratulations Honda another ugly grill.

The new MDX is, IMHO, by far the best value in the segment- it's beautifully designed, and the cherry on top is Honda reliability. Now, if only they would put a real shifter in the thing. I don't understand why automakers are getting rid of them, but they're wrong in their choice to do so. #savetheshifters

I would get the red A Spec, so fucking sexy. Looks almost like a super car

You two are the best at this. Information with personality

Regarding the push button shifter.... a couple really nice benefits of that system is you don't have to put the vehicle in park to exit the vehicle. Just open the drivers door & it automatically goes into park while the engine remains running (handy for a short exit i.e. to grab your mail). And better yet, simply push the stop engine button when parking, and the trans automatically goes into park as well. These functions streamline your motions. Maybe that is why Acura has embraced this system....it's all about functionality.

Oh, just noticed your Seamaster 👍👍👍 I have the same watch

While driving an MDX, is it best to wear a speedy or datejust ? 😂

Does it still carry the spare wheel ?

engine mounted the wrong way, just like econo cars... GV80 kills this economy Acura brand

Too much shiny black plastic makes the interior look awfully cheap. Acura is a premium brand with a premium price, can we not get something covering the dash that actually looks reflective of the price.

It still looks like a mazda cx-5. But it is probably better since it doesn't have the rust problem I heard mazda has.

60,000 for MDX is crazy.... Waste of money

You guys are really good. I love your review on the new MDX.

Thanks for your video. Great video, great ACURAr. I have just finished my luxury bag collection goals for this season. I advise to grab yours from hqreps. Help me to realize my dream. Just share to you all

No Q7 in the alternative options?

I am waiting for the hybrid model.

Genesis all the way baby!

Buy this just to have door dings on the doors

Mazda MDX

Too big.

Leaning towards buying one. I wish the one in red came with a black interior though. Bummed it only comes in the parchment.

2022...It has led fog lights... wow amazing technology

It's great to see Honda incorporating some of their best 'old school' tech in this awesome MDX. For example, my 2012 TSX Wagon has a double wishbone front suspension...helps it to handle like a sporty sedan. Thanks for an entertaining review.

I’m totally sold!

the buttons are the best thing more room nothing in the way . i put my pizza on top of the button

The GV80 blows this MDX away. Not even in the same league.

Does Acura and Honda have any engines that are Dual Injection? If only Direct Injection, I would never own an Acura or Honda.

I've said it once and I will say it again you are watching the best couple reviewing cars.

Shape looks a lot like Mazda cx9

Excellent review! I can think of a few reasons for the push-button transmission selector (some are R-rated): 1. Avoiding the stick getting in the way of today's ubiquitous charging cables, and preventing small items falling into any opening; shifting is electronic nowadays: BMW's solution preserves the shifting stick interface but necessitates a electro-mechanical return-on-parking from manual shifting, which may take more room under the surface. 2. a PG-13 to R-rated reason Easier for the front passenger to lean over without bumping the transmission selector. Mercedes has moved the transmission selector to the steering column, especially on its convertibles . . . steering column selector would feel a little too similar to a bus on SUV's. 3. an NC-17 reason (reader beware: you can not unsee after reading below; have to be open-minded and have a sense of adult humor before reading below) Just look straight on at the area from the big round mode dial on top to the lower transmission selector area between two lips and ending with another (smaller) round button at the bottom . . . even a bulging stack above that. If Tesla can name its car models "SEXY," Acura designers might have been equally over-worked and obsessed; sex appeal may actually work on/for the first / new-car buyers spending north of US$50k / CA$60k on a new car.

Mazda and rav4 front and pilot back. I test drove this 2022 last sat and those seat lock u in and its less cabin space and that middle consul takes away so much space.

:18 is that true? I thought it was the Lexus RX

Great review guys and yes, the MDX is a brilliant choice. I would be curious how the upcoming model with the TT V6 will feel.

The cringe of these two "actors" man oh man

Great review. This MDX is priced right, and looks terrific!

Volvo is Chinese. Not European.

Got mine this last weekend - Advance (U.S.), your Platinum Elite, in Fathom Blue Pearl. "Masterpiece?" I won't argue.

it's a really nice upgrade from the previous model. However I don't understand why they didn't put the touch screen like the RDX.

Nice room in the car to have some fun

Will there be a hybrid version coming out this year?

Thumbs up from me, because you nailed one of my key criticisms. That track pad is awful especially when coupled with the fact that the screen isn't a touch screen. I don't like it as a driver, and I like it even less as a passenger. The reality is the passenger does need/want to have a usable input method. As for the push button gear selector, it's just mediocre, and I prefer an old fashion selector as well. Otherwise, a very nice vehicle!

I am looking for the Type S model going to be pretty sick and awesome. Putting up with the higher end SUV CUV positions.

For your consideration: Toyota Highlander XL...coming soon...

these cars look beast! hahah

Looks like a Lexus CX-9

This was a fantastic review guys. I normally like your reviews, but for some reason, maybe the editing, this one took it to the next level for me. Very informative, good and pertinent information about the vehicle.

I don't mind the push button transmission selection vs shifter. Less items to break. I am sad to see the option for rear screen entertainment has been removed from all trim levels.

i love the pop out 2row seat! converts to captains chair option. following and topping the automakers' trend! hope more follow THIS trend. i dont know if this car is any better than my 2022 santa fe SEL. better drive but still not the most preferred joy ride nor best off road SUV. Mdx tops my car because of 3rd capability and removable middle seat! other than that. safety feature, better fuel efficiency, better maintenance service. my poor man's GV80 stomps all over acura. my lease deal: 2022 SEL w/ prem. pack. 10kmile for 36mon-$1,000down +1st month + DMV for $394/mo. o did i mention? i have smartphone key, smartphone/alexa starter for whole lease period(3yrs)

Way to go Honda. It looks like a CX9

Beautiful 🤩

Ugly inside out . The inside looks trash and outside looks very ugly and outdated.

Love ❤️ love ❤️ love the black interior..🔊👍🏼🙏🏼✌🏼

Nice SUV for sure, but why would anyone drop this kind of money on a new car when in 5 years EV’s / PHEV’s will be taking over, resale goes to zero

Another boring car from Acura...

As a consumer, the MDX is no competition against the GV80.

New to your channel........btw, what neighborhood/city are those great looking shots taken? Thanks........

Hopefully Acura fixed their transmission issues... The MDX is Notorious for having transmission problems

It looks like a Mazda CX-9

So Palisade/Telluride or MDX?

8:05 Andrea: That is my life. Zac: yea, your life sucks. LOL

I have a 2020 rdx and I have to say a couple things. The car drives more like a sports car than an SUV. My partner has the RX350 F Sport and its pretty slow/less responsive in comparison. I use the dynamic shifter all the time but I kind of have a lead foot. I agree they should put a shifter in there. Has anyone noticed the buttons don't always shift quickly? Like going from Park to Drive sometimes I press drive and go to accelerate and it gets stuck in Park?

A Toyota Highlander is a much better choice and much more reliable. Owning two Acura in the last decade proofed they are not as reliable as Hondas. Electronic gremlins are always crawling in Acuras.

Hopefully they make the third row useful...for a regular size adult...

How much did Acura pay you guys? It is too well scripted and you missed too many issues like--no arm rests on the second row nor cup holders. Give me a break this is overpriced next to Genesis GV-80 (GV-80 is $72,500 on most expensive trim). All driver controls look like diarrhea of buttons in this MDX

all Hyundai theta engines cease up around 50k-90k. thats why Hyundai changes its name to "smart stream". they are exact same engines but pretending as newly designed engine. Do not trust Hyundai - KIA.

genesis GV80 is total crap. do not even touch it.

Great channel...just discovered it today! Shame we can’t get Acura here in New Zealand

The GX is a better buy than the RX 😂 to me and it has a V8 that's more stern when accelerating and air suspension control in the rear in higher end models.

This has been one of the most sensible and informative videos I’ve seen in a long time. Answered a lot of a basic buyers questions. We have a 2013 RDX with 62,000 miles on it. Looking to trade up. You Have Sold Us On The MDX. Thank You.

You make a valid point Zack about the pricing of the MDX versus the GV 80. However, I think the reason the MDX is priced lowered than the GV80 is because it uses an older engine that was simply carried over. That didn't cost them much if anything to simply put that into this new body. With the GV 80, it is an entirely new SUV from the ground up with a new powertrain. That costed them a lot of money to develop. Also, Acura knowing knew they would bring the Type S model with the new MDX so pricing the standard 3.5 V6 lower than the competitors is rightful done with room for the Type S to be priced in the mid 70s. I agree with you that the Genesis GV80 is priced on the high side. I bet there's a lot of wiggle room for discount when the sales are way lower than predicted.

So that great $56000 starting price plus taxes to be paid for a new car purchase in British Columbia Canada, brings that low “ starting price “ up to a whopping $63,700. I’d say we are in the Luxurious Cat now. That was just the base price right?! I really enjoy your comprehension, well delivered reviews guys so keep it up. However, it might be better to take the word “ just “ out of describing “ base prices,” when taxes then need to be added on. Go

Looks like a Mazda cx 9

Lexus better step their game up, this mdx is beautiful.

Does this 3.5 has timing belt ?

Wow. I own the 2002 mdx. Cant believe how little has changed in 20 years. What would YOU expect 20 yrs from now?

My wife still drives the first model year 2001 MDX with 300,000 kms on it. That thing refuses to die and the engine is still as smooth as the first year we had it. We would potentially look at this as our next vehicle but we no longer need 3 rows as our oldest kid is entering university this year.

Didn’t know Vancouver had a car review channel

Genesis is delusional, the MDX is their direct competition!

Wow the all new Acura Mazda X!!!!!! Lol

Andrea is the classiest left-handed auto-reviewer on U-tube. What was that car's brand again?
