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.

By:

Minor changes to standard feature availability.

Pros
Unrelentingly capable off-road
Extensive customization options
Available diesel engine
Removable top and doors

Cons
Steering is slow and feels loose, especially on the Rubicon trim
Lots of wind and tire noise at highway speeds
Less cargo space than some conventional SUVs

For 2022, the Wrangler lineup gains the Willys model with the Xtreme Recon package. This adventure-ready trim comes with 35-inch BF Goodrich KO2 all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, a 1.5-inch suspension lift, upgraded brakes, and a host of blacked-out exterior trim and badges. The Willys Xtreme Recon model comes standard with the 3.6-liter V-6 engine and is offered only on the four-door Unlimited body style.

Pros
Charming retro styling,
trail-conquering capability,
one of the few trucks that offers a convertible experience.

Cons
Snug passenger space,
on-road road manners are unrefined,
stiff ride over bumpy roads.
