Fully redesigned for 2022.
Pros Comfortable cabin and ample cargo space Balances sporty handling with a relaxed ride Generous array of features and driver aids for the money Quick acceleration from the Type S model
Cons Standard engine can be noisy and lacks the power of turbocharged rivals Infotainment touchpad requires a steep learning curve
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 Fun to drive Great engine choice Expressive style Fairly spacious for being so small
Cons Price climbs fast Interior not as adventurous Costly adaptive cruise Not as interesting as it could have been
Pros Distinctive looks that hardly hurt space. Refined powertrains. Strong cornering/ride compromise. Well-executed interior
Cons Cornering isn't as much fun as you'd hope from a BMW. No AWD on the petrol version at launch.
