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

surprisingly nimble chassis,
high-tech cabin.

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