Is the MDX Type S Worth the Price? // Acura MDX Type S REVIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лис 2022
- The Acura MDX Type S represents a solid upgrade to an all around good premium SUV, but... it comes at a fairly huge price. In a world of Kia Tellurides and recently redesigned Honda Pilots, can customers justify spending BMW X5. money for a model that starts just above the mainstream? The MDX Type S is certainly a more enthusiastic drive, but it's not quite enough to justify hiking the price by more than ten grand over fully loaded "regular" models. What do you think is the break point? Does the Acura MDX Type S offer enough to play in the same market at the BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, and Audi Q7? Why or why not? Let me know!

We purchased a MDX Type S instead of a BMW or Volvo. We weren't Acura owners before but the equivalent SUVs from the other automakers were in the high 80s to mid 90s. Car prices were wild and rates were low when we got the Type S. I don't regret the Type S at all. If you have a kids and take long drives on highways it is hard to find a better value.
Nice! Good to hear it! I’m glad that you feel as though you got a fair deal. The market is wild right now. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@jax1079 I will also say as someone who has family who isn’t well off it is less intimidating to roll up in an Acura instead of a BMW. I appreciate your content as I am 6’5” myself.
I have one of these and here are my reasons why. First, Ive owned MDX's in the past and had great ownership experiences. Second, I wanted an SUV with air suspension, I need to take it down some rather infamously bad roads ( Motherlode Hill, Miller Fork Rd ) and at 9.4 inches of ground clearance in lift mode, its right up there with some much more capable off-road vehicles. This rules out the BMW with the exception of the X5 hybrid, which is very difficult to get right now unless you want to wait 6 months plus in my area. Cost of ownership bothers me with that version. Audi was an option, but all the ones with air suspension in my area were ~90k. Thirdly, I loved how it looks and drives. I got the blue/orchid combo and really love it. Its quite fun on twisty back roads, super plush in the city. I realize this does not have the 'status' or performance of a German, but I honestly dont care.
This is a great endorsement! Thanks for weighing in with an ownership experience. Always a valuable perspective. And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I have a Type S as well and you nailed it.
With all of the uptight nerds doing car reviews on YT, your style and legit “car guy” opinions were a pleasure to watch. Very nice camera work also.
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!
This is a pretty nice reliable SUV.
Every car reviewer and I understand why ( society says if you have a new shiny BMW you've made it) always comparing luxury vehicles to cars like Mercedes and BMW, if I had a choice between the Acura and a BMW , by far I would choose the Acura, I'm not buying a car spending that kind of money that's going to be in the shop once a month, that's unacceptable, and they've been like that for 40 years.
And please don't tell me that your father or your sister had a Mercedes/BMW and they've never had a problem with it, most of the time that's BS.
More so that goes for Volvo.
Absolutely right compared to the Germans. I’ll take Acura and Lexus over them, but I’m very middle class so value makes sense to me 🤣 For Luxury/prestige buyers, the Type S needs to shine a little brighter at this price point. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@jax1079 , I agree 100%, I noticed Auto reviewers tend to use the BMW/ Mercedes the German cars as the benchmark, I don't think that should be the case, when they start to review cars like this, I don't think they realize they're doing it or not but they insinuate it's an underdog.
My dad was a Chrysler guy, but he bought a 190 SL as a "toy," and later said he spent more on maintenance on the Benz than ALL the Chryslers he ever owned--combined, so that should be a consideration also.
I almost regret not to get tentype S base for 59K cert low mileage 5k miles to a Aspec trim for a lower price but still I enjoyed it the handling and performance,comfort is my one priority and MDX delivered that in an SUV as I have another sports car to play with as this is for travel ride only for us.
The best thing in MDX are the SH AWD especially in snow mode as one of the best in the market and copied by the Germans later on when they debut it. The double wishbone suspension that adds performance and feels compared to other SUV’s and one best part you can feel on this SUV is even it was so large SUV when you drive it feels like a small SUV and you can toss around and feels good and stable.
New MDX type S no but low mileage yes for the price of less than 60k if you can find one, thats why I took the Aspec for a lesser price tag of 54k with
Sounds like a pretty good deal! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I like the way you weigh all the variables, even without all the technical analysis I know where you are coming from and I appreciate not having to suffer through all the specs that I know you could have brought to us. Is it worth the money they are asking , does it drive you emotionally , thanks for the answer, I got it clear and sound.👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks! And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Well said. If I’m spending that much it won’t be on this. If it were 10k less I would feel better about it
Agree. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻
In comparison what wuld you consider more between the Acura MDX Type S or the Lexus RX 500 F sport ????
I’m hoping to get behind the wheel of the Lexus RX soon, but the RX 500h F sport looks like it might represent a better value. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
There is a Lexus RX 500h f sport coming soon, not quite on the road yet. The RX just received a total make over and will be out on the road any day now all variants
I'm considering getting this vehicle used with low miles. Very hard to find! I need the 3rd row, I'm 6'4", I love the interior, and I drive 100k plus miles before I get rid of a car. I trust Honda's reliability over the German options. I like the sportiness and tech of this over Toyota's options. I own a Lexus now. My other 3rd row choices are Denali or High Country but they are more money and worst gas mileage. My search for a reliable luxury 3rd row continues. Thanks for the review!
A used one of these is a compelling choice
This is the first video if your’s I’ve watched, and I’m impressed with your insight, reasoned criticism, and sheer entertainment.
I did look seriously into the 3.5L MDX but there’s not enough power so was hoping the type S would hit the sweet spot. At 72K and 355bhp, plus that track pad, it does not. I agree that 65K is the logical price point for this. Or at least just stick this engine in an A spec ditch the air suspension
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Drove Type S and immediately wanted to purchase for my wife.
She could care less for the type s btw
A-Spec will suffice
After driving both and getting 4K off msrp for the A-Spec I went with it
Type-S not getting discounted
Now an 18k swing
Love the type s but not for 18k more
Interesting... but also a great point that just adds to the variables. Thanks for watching!
And, if the sound system wasn't up to snuff, you could sure pimp it up for far less than the diff between it and a Type S 👍🏻😁
I agree that It should be more powerful and have more sharp sport mode and crisp breaking pedal if it is the type-s or should cost a bit less. Also I agree that for this amount of money there should be aluminium or carbon or wood instead of piano black plastic. But I think it looks fantastic especially for 3row vehicle and it is a big step further comparing to previous MDX. Also I wish they put there usual speed selector instead of buttons.
I agree. I think the overall design is handsome enough, and I like the interior layout, but it needs a little more specialness for $72k. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
It’s totally fine as is.
The Q7 55 has 335hp, the GLE450 AMG has 362hp and the GV80 has 375hp and the MDX Type S is still quicker than the most powerful vehicle listed here.
Great review and love your “realistic” approach to possible future MDX buyers to determine if the MDX Type S is a “need” or a nice “want”. I am still undecided but your review helps. BTW -as a gun owner - love the line re: “AR-15” 😂. It is really NOT necessary for one to own (use in shooting ranges YES but in general No) Keep up the good work. 😎
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
First time watching your channel. Great video! As someone who is 6’5”, it’s nice to see someone tall review automobiles. Also, I know the price is steep but it has some luxuries like massage seats and the upgraded 25 speaker ELS audio system that usually come in much more expensive models. I was curious what you thought about those features.
Thank you! The massage seats are great, but the ELS audio system can be had in lower trims. I think the air suspension is the main exclusive selling point over other MDX trim levels, and it DOES work: the ride and handling balance is quite good. However, since the powertrain isn’t insanely powerful, is that main upgrade worth the large price premium? I’m not sure that it is, but I’ve had several Type S owners tell me that I’m wrong 😜 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
@@jax1079 Ya, that’s a fair point. I believe the ELS on the Type S has more speakers (25 vs 17) than the lower trims and more power but I’m not sure how big of a difference that it makes since the regular ELS system is already solid. I’m hoping a lot people don’t feel the Type S is worth the price and dealers start giving discounts 😀.
Jax would you take the MDX over a Base X5
@@BfifT8 What trim of the MDX? This one? Absolutely.
Great video, you have a new fan of your channel! I agree with all of your comments - if this car were priced in the mid 60k range it would be game over. I would also like to see how the air suspension holds up over time. We had a Lexus GX that never had an issue with air suspension, but we've had a Mercedes GLS where we're glad we got the 7 year / 100k mile warranty. This car has an in-between quality between the X5's and GLE's and the X7s and the GLS'. I think most people will probably end up just going German, as you said.
True, and they’ll do so for the perceived prestige rather than the long term reliability (which is probably better on the Acura). If they could offer the Type S at $69,999 I think just that subtle change would make it seem like a good value. There’s a LOT to love about it, but the $70k range starts to become more rarified air with a ton of alternative options. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Thank you for your review!
Thanks for watching!
Best review I have seen on this vehicle. I saw a report that the Type S comes with run flat tires? Is that true? Would probably be a deal breaker for me.
Thank you! And yes, I believe that's true, but as someone who has driven a C5 Corvette for the past fifteen years, I probably wouldn't let it stop me.
I am 6'5" also. I am impressed that you are comfortable in a Corvette. Same car for 15 years or multiple cars? What I really want is an Audi SQ8 but don't know if I can talk my conscience into spending that kind of money for a car. I have a 2018 Audi S6 and though maintenance is eye watering expensive, most satisfying car I have ever owned. I am 72 and trying to tell myself that I may not have that many good driving years left to rationalize the SQ8! Signing up for your channel. Nice to have a tall guy in the seat to do the evaluations. @@jax1079
Normal people do fine with a 290 hp MDX, and some, not all will value the 355 hp version. However, all law-abiding Citizens need access to the AR15.
Acura benchmarks their Type-S against their base models. Both versions will keep selling like hotcakes. For the few demanding more can turn to the aftermarket mods available.
Where I live price tag of 2022 of this car is less expensive than fully loaded Mercedes GLC, not BMW X5, not even X5 base!!
Something to consider for sure. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I’m comparing this with the Genesis GV80 3.5L prestige, same price, Acura is almost there, genesis has way less plastic, more wood, glass and metal from the glass gear shifter, metal buttons, and ample wood trim on the center console. Genesis 3D digital gauges are super crisp. Again for the same price you also get soft close doors, suede headliner, power rear sunshades, rear passenger heated/cooled and power rear seats Both have the ambient. Wish GV80 had MDX air suspension. MDX also has massage both front seats where the GV80 only has driver basic lumbar stretch massage which is not like a roller massage. It seems like the GV80 is pure luxury and MDX is pure sport, can make the decision hard, plus the GV80 3.5L prestige doesn’t have a 3rd row, can have 3rd row on lower trims. I still want both cars in the garage, 1 down 1 to go.
Warranty also to take in consideration, genesis power train 10year 100k mile, Acura: 6yr 70k miles
I’d probably lean towards the GV80 myself. I’m not convinced that the suspension difference between the two would be all that noticeable from a seat of the pants perspective, and the GV does a better job feeling special inside. The MDX build quality is excellent, but it lacks a few of the GV’s wow factors. (Even though lots of that stuff is for show, at luxury prices I think consumers are entitled to a little show.) Acura loves to brag on the audio system, but again, I’m not convinced most normal humans will care where their podcasts are coming from. Tough call, but I think I’d pick the GV. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Both are good vehicles...GV80 has more tech...but sometimes it boils down to how a vehicle makes you feel. The GV80 made me feel older and the exterior was a bit busy for me. I like more clean uncluttered lines. I am definitely in love with the left and right turn camera of the GV80...I have that in my Accord which I hate that they stopped including. Acura also has that history of reliability, which I am sure Genesis is working towards.
Did you experience any funny transmission shifts? Keep up good work!
Nope! That stuff bugs me so I would definitely have pointed it out. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

He was an English teacher for 17 years and he uses the term "Big Ask". Thank god he's not teaching anymore!
So I'm supposed to speak in formal english just because I taught it...? Uh-oh, I started an independent clause with a coordinating conjunction. My whole life is a lie.
I'm asking myself the same question about this Type S w/Advance package at $75k. I guess this is bigger than the X5 but smaller than the X7? And the price of this vs. the X5 is about equal the way I configure the BMW. So the X7 is way more. But I was kind of hoping for something in the 60k range - even the high 60k range. But to be fair, it has air suspension and massaging seats, and the front passenger gets the same seat as the driver. But the engine is turned the wrong way in the engine bay! So paying over 70k for a front wheel drive-based vehicle just rubs me wrong. So what will a Lexus TX (much larger) with the Hybrid Max powertrain cost? Probably in the same ballpark. I guess we'll see.
I think the TX will max out in that range fully loaded, but probably a bit cheaper. You’re getting a lot more space, though, which is far more usable to families than sports sedan performance.
It's a very reliable, really nice luxurious SUV, I love the interior, but the 72 k price is a bit munch, they need to dial it back, 65k Max.
I think $65k would be a nice price for this
You get what you pay for.
@@Snookynibbles , no you don't, look at Mercedes and especially BMW their garbage.
76,000 is a lot of money I mean a Camaro ZL1 is about the same price I believe but I do like the mdx my dad drives one and I’ve driven it as well . But still is a lot of money.
This is true. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
fully loaded 2024 type s advanced is less than 65K USD in Canada :D
😳😳😳
Good review. I agree with a lot, but also maybe disagree with some. Equally equipped, a German SUV is going to be 80-90K. the BMW X5, technically a 2 row, comparably trimmed out is $10K more. Mercedes would be even more. The audi doesn't even get cool until you spend close to $100K. You could get a Premier trim tahoe, like you said. But the quality and finish is kinda crap (saying that as someone that currently owns a Chevy). Plus that thing is a monster and not that fun to drive. The 6.2L V8 is an option but should be the standard in something that size. On the other end, I'd pay $20K more not to drive a telluride or highlander. Plus, like you mentioned, the model you tested was only $14K more than the A-spec. But $5K of that is the "advanced" package that brings different seats, heads up display, and a few other things (some of which should be standard at that price). Also, on the performance. I think the performance has gotten out of control. Most people can't use, shouldn't use, or don't know how to use something producing 600 HP. Although I wish the performance numbers were closer to 400 for HP and TQ, it has enough power to be fun and even a 41 year old accountant can fully put there foot into without fear of losing control.
I've actually been torn on this review more than almost any other in the past year. Upon reflection, I've actually found myself warming to the idea of the Type S more than when I was initially sticker shocked by it. Maybe it's the insane prices of new cars these days, but I think I might need to revisit this one... Thanks for watching!
@@jax1079 prices are nuts! It blows my mind. Keep up the good work!

Yeah 😂 they prices is too much still the MDX is very stylish interior and exterior 😅 wise because I 💕 my 2015 MDX tech like a baby and yeah 👍 nice 🤠 review
I agree that at $72k it’s a tough sell. $65k seems more reasonable. But with this crazy market, what do I know?
Haha! What do any of us know at this point? Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
The Aspec trim type s is around 65k I think
@@jcwatts5000 It's not. I reviewed an A spec a little while back. It was $58k. Big difference in price, but not much of a difference in perception.
JAX why don't you tell us how you really feel about this vehicle? 😛 I think that you are an artist with keen eyes 👀 for painting a clear picture, and that is why I'm not going put this vehicle on my list of maybies!
I always try to be honest. It’s a great SUV… at about $6k less. That’s just too much competition above $70k giving people a lot more of something. The Type S lacks a killer standout attribute to separate itself from what people will possibly cross shop. Thanks for watching!
I concur with the price...it is way too pricey....the car is beauriful but to have an Advanced TL type S at 72000 is somewhat outpricing the value that Acura always use to acheive.
I have to admit: I am reconsidering how critical I was. I stand by $72k being a lot, but when compared directly against the German competition it is cheaper and lower to maintain over time.
I agree that the brake pedal feel is less than desirable to state it mildly. I Love the rich feel of the cabin. However the grab handle is totally unnecessary and the price point of the Type S is about 7,000 above what it should be n my opinion. Hopefully Acura will correct the brake pedal feel, subpar power for the price point, and the undesirable infotainment system in the next generation MDX.
I agree. I think a lot of people felt as if I was being overly harsh. I really like the Type S, and I’d love to see Acura move upmarket, but it just needs a few more tweaks to command $70k or more. My opinion: brake feel, 400+ hp, and upgraded infotainment and I’d totally be down with a $75k price tag.
Echelon = League = Tier = Class
Was in the market early this year
ended up wit a Nori green lexus GX
i’m over the moon about it
(MDX looks to much like a soccer mom car to me)

Check my Overlanding video to see the fun we had in a Nori green GX! Been thinking about that thing since that trip, haha! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
LOL, congrats on your GX, but the MDX type S definitely doesn't look like a soccer-mom car! For starters, have you even seen the exhaust tips?? It's a med-large aggressive-sporty looking SUV, nothing at all that resembles a bland minivan soccer-mom mobile.

@@freshdotholla The styling is not in your face, it's some what subtle but classy and handsome. I've watched and read every review out there and it unanimously has praise for its looks. NYC...not the best place to live these days unfortunately. I'm on Long Island.
@@kevinbreese5739 So u know, 🤣😂 NYC IS A DUMP
It looks good but I just take base MDX. This should compete only with Lexus RX. Neither of them should try anything performance related. Better option yet the new to come Pilot which is cleaner inside.
This is the way. And I think the dealer experience is rapidly improving. Kia knows what they have. They’re playing the long game. Poor dealer experiences are going to become less and less tolerable (at all levels) post pandemic. I’ve heard nothing but positives from most of the dealers in metro Atlanta (but admittedly a small sample size). Comparing them to Lexus (or Acura) will never be equal, but is it $20k deficient? I don’t think so. That’s what I’m getting at.
Oh, and $72k is ridiculous for a “wanna be” sports car that in reality is a 3-row family hauler. I wouldn’t go any higher than the A-Spec for $58-62k.
Very true. As an all-in-one, I kind of get it. But if you have a two-car household, there's no reason you can't have a more capable car as your second choice.
Too expensive. Great vehicle. There’s a camera button. At this price point that engine got to do 400 hp. I’d get the BMW 5 or the Lexus 500h.
That 500h is mighty tempting…
Too bad the prices are crazy. Yeah this should go for $60k max but we live in crazy times.
I'm happy with my 2023 RDX A-Spec Adv Package. The prize of this MDX is totally overrated.
A Spec is a good middle ground for sure
He's the tallest and yummiest of the YT car reviewers :)
I don’t know about that. Mark and Jack from Savage Geese are the blueprint for peak male performance.
Problem with Kia is dealer experience man. Be serious.
Problem with Kia is that it’s a Kia, a Korean vehicle (compared to a Tier 1 Japanese vehicle).
You lost credibility when you started comparing this to a Tahoe for cargo room. Yeah, no shit a Tahoe has more…so does a Sprinter van.
Both are SUVs, and at the same price, consumers might consider prioritizing quite a bit more space in their SUV package over the ride/handling balance of the Type S. For many families, practical considerations might win out given similar enough vehicles. It's not like a Tahoe is unappealing, and it has FAR more space and superior infotainment, two things buyers value.
@@jax1079But are they in the same class? That’s what every vehicle is judged by…the competition in their class. No one watching this is debating between a Tahoe or an MDX. I think it’s an odd comparison. Why not throw a Sierra crew cab in the mix. Same price…throw a topper on it and look at that storage.
@@SK-pn1pe I think I actually did say that at one point in the video… (full sized truck at least). 😂
@@jax1079Ha..I missed it if you did. But yes, if you start throwing everything on the table at 75k or less…it becomes a shit show. So the real question is…what suv in this class for this price or less would you personally buy…and why? I ask because I literally may be buying something within 48 hours
@@SK-pn1pe I always buy used. Currently looking at a 2022 Lexus GX, actually. Rather have the rugged capability than the handling, personally, and I’ve got two on the line under $55k. Not interested in a third row in a vehicle as small as the MDX.
For this money I get a Tahoe RST with 6.2 liter engine.
But your Tahoe will also break sooner. All Chevys do. From transmission, water pump, brakes fading etc.
I am going to bet the MDX Type S will be gone after this year or next year.
Nice SUV but guessing it will sell as bad as the ZDX.
Gentlemen’s bet Jax?
Hahaha! I think they’ll keep it around as a “halo” car as the NSX rides into the sunset. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
