Acura redesigned the MDX for 2022, skipping the 2021 model year. The new SUV shares its styling and technology with the recently revamped RDX and TLX models.

Pros
Sharp styling,
surprisingly nimble chassis,
high-tech cabin.

Cons
Tight third row passenger space,
mediocre fuel economy ratings,
fussy infotainment touchpad.

Pros
Entertaining to drive,
ride is terrific regardless of wheel size,
palatial interior with plenty of tech.

Cons
Acceleration lags at city speeds,
some practicality sacrificed for style,
lower touchscreen controls are distracting.
