At this point, I'm convinced that none of these auto channels want to actually learn to use the touchpad correctly. They don't even try. Just complain that it's not a touch screen.
It would help if they would watch a youtube video before giving advice saying it sucks
Nobody really wants a touch pad - they want a touch screen!
Agree. The touchpad is actually one of my favorite features in my MDX… after using it more than a few minutes.
@@cmdrdarwin3682is easy to use
1950s: in 2021 we will have flying atomic cars
2021: removable middle backseat! how 'bout that?!
Minivans have that
I wonder are there arm rests for the captain chairs?
Didn't the 2nd gen highlander had that?
@@zachf355 yes
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The MDX is a Iconic.
Own a 2008 MDX with 140,0000 miles. Everything works and still looks great. Best car I have owned. Now I have an excuse to let it go!!!
@CJ Malone What’s up with that? Respect one’s opinion.
Tommy looked like a hostage in the third row. “I’m perfectly fine.”
🤣🤣🤣 ... he did say "in a pinch" and "mainly for small children"
Knees to the chest, “I’m perfectly fine” 🤣
I noticed as well.
ROFL!
"Knees to chest: You actually have pretty decent room!" As soon as I saw that I scrolled down looking for this comment...
6:14 The system was designed as a 1:1 correlation between the pad and screen, and it’s not an invisible cursor. You don’t drag around to figure out where the cursor is; rather the selection is exactly where your finger is.
I'm frustrated that so many 3 row SUVs come only with captain's chairs in the second row. This is a pretty good idea to have the center seat removable, however once it's removed the Captain's chairs don't have inboard armrests.
and no more cupholder either i guess!
Lazy design on Acura. My 2007 Honda Odyssey has the same removable center seat on the 2nd row but the the captain chairs have armrests. Plus the removed chair can be stored under floor compartment.
I agree with you about captains chairs. With three kids the captains chair setup does not work well because it means I would lose most of the trunk space. It really annoys me that the upper trim levels of many cars cannot be had with a bench. I'm glad Acura didn't go for this fad.
@@CoralSea gone are the days of that. Neither my 2013 nor my 2018 have the ability to store the middle seat in the floor. It is removable though! I wish ALL SUVs had the option to remove the middle seat!!
Good for fitting ice chest between seats. Some ice chests have cupholders.
This guy still has not figured out the true touch pad 🙄 it's not a mouse pad it uses 1-1 positioning with the screen if you want to touch the top left corner of the screen you touch the top left corner of the touchpad...
What about the stuff in the middle of the screen. This is where I’ve had an issue when trying one out at an auto show a year ago
@@eleanormassaro5195 you touch the middle.
Until you try to use CarPlay, good luck!
@@mct8888 doesn’t it work like a standard laptop mousepad on CarPlay? Would be easy to use i imagine. Since that’s what we’re all used to.
@@Assgasyoda yes, which is completely different than the 1-1 positioning. We are all used to touch screen, nobody wants to use a laptop trackpad.
Yes thank you Acura for the removable middle seat, I never thought I’d say this but I’m in love with the all new MDX
Captains chairs in the second row are useless without armrests.
I prefer bench
@@edwardvalivonis23 Finally someone who gets this! Why pay more money for less seats?
@@samuelwarren3306 I don't understand ether
2nd gen highlanders do a similar dismantling of the middle row...& has arm rests ;)
Not if they're being used for child car seats.
Acura did such a great job on this new MDX, really big step up from the outgoing model.
It's great that you guys are one of the first ones to test the MDX. That's so good!
Raites rides had it first
My '05 Grand Cherokee had a reversible tray in the back also, definitely handy.
This is a gorgeous car
The A Spec is even sexier
You have captains chairs but no armrests. Genius
I thought the same thing. Weak. Shouldn't be too hard to integrate into the seat.
Volvo XC90 has no arm rests 100% of the time. Luxury!
@@mct8888, I actually cross-shopped the XC90 (against my MDX Advance) but there were too many option packages to get the things I wanted, making it harder to find.
@@ScottParisi same here, but couldn’t get past it being a supercharged turbocharged 4-cyl. Too much to break, too expensive.
@@mct8888, I had the same concerns. You're right on that one. I was glad to see the new MDX with the NA V-6.
Very comprehensive and intuitive review. Good job.
Hi Tommy 🙂, I absolutely can never get enough of your buddy review w/ your puppy Blaze. I love your videos and content.
Tommy, great video as always! Just want to clarify one thing. The horsepower is 290, and the lb/ft tq is 267. Mated to a 10 speed Honda built transmission. Also, you left out some noteworthy features on your tester. Heads up display, 16 speaker 3D ELS Sound. 16 way power seats, standard panaroof, and standard remote car starter.
Wow, everyone is making Doug Demuro jokes now! 😂
Probably dougs secret son
Acura nailed it!
Acura needs to improve! With no "recommended" status on the current MDX and brand newly redesigned RDX from Consumer Reports, the Buick Enclave has been ruling the 3-row luxury segment in their rankings.
@@normt430mdx sold about 10,000 units more than the buick enclave in 2020 in the US and did you see the buick lacrosse 2021 seems like the design came from somehwhere.
@@reenachauriya4931 the Acura MDX doesn't have a GMC Acadia or Cadillac XT6 problem. 😜
@@normt430 take everything consumer reports say with a grain of salt. The Buick will be in the junkyard way before the Acura
@@JDMSwervo2001 Buick suvs are recommended by Consumer Reports, Acura suvs are not.
Tommy thanks for the quality review. The MDX looks great. Shout out to Blaze.
The change of the car in the display when in adaptive CC could be due to visual contrast while driving. Pretty important while driving to not struggle to find elements on screen. Just a hunch though...
Or the car could turn green when activated and operating
Best review of features I have seen yet. You have a new sub
The new MDX is looking sweet!
Great in depth review. Love this channel. Happy subscriber here!
Great review!
Love Blaze!!! Cherish him everyday. We just lost 2 Berners within 5 days both to cancer. They took a piece of my heart with them.
I am sorry for your loss.
@@sachemrock Thank you.
Great review. Thanks!
I’ve gone cold to Acura for the past 14 years, but this and the new TLX are really sharp looking, inside and out.
RDX and NSX
great video for MDX, thanks
You are using the touchpad incorrectly. It’s not like a mouse or a pointer. It’s called True Touch and the touch pad is mapped exactly like the screen. If you want to touch the icon on the top right for example, that’s where you touch on the touchpad. If you want to touch the icon on the bottom center, you touch that same exact position on the touchpad. Works great. It is the same setup on my 2019 Acura RDX.
You're right, except that doesn't work in Android Auto (e.g. Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, etc.). It's only true in the Acura menu. I haven't tried Apple Carplay.
Blaze Score! Great review! Tommy has developed into a top-notch pro.
agreed! Tommy's come a long way ... I can even see him going his own way soon
@@woxie4990 How, by copying Doug Demuro?
@@55afishead well clearly if you had a good answer you'd be doing that yourself, and that's why Tommy is reviewing and you're not ;-)
@@woxie4990 you make absolutely no sense. I didn't answer anything. I asked a question. 🤣
Great review. Learned some small, interesting things that other reviews didn't cover.
WOW i like this..First interior review. What else does the Digital gauge show or change in any way?
Which trim level is this? I wish you mentioned which features are base, tech, or premium. Thanks for the video👍
Minor downside to the MDX - no door cup holders in the rear and no third row vent.
Agree the the headrest juts forward a bit too much. The only remedy I found was to push the lumbar of the seat forward
Always happy to see a dog review! My 2 goldens are the main reason I want to upgrade to something larger
I really miss my old MDX (stolen/totaled) but I must point out that my 08 base model highlander can ditch the center seat in the second row as well; there is a hatch under the center console to tuck it into and a cup holder / storage bin that takes its place
My WK had a liner that flipped, but the plastic side had a sort of tray built in. It was very handy for hauling things like car batteries and dirty tow straps. I wish every car had an option to flip the rear floor panel.
The first gen CRV had a rear tray that came out and had flip down legs to double as a table. I used it all the time. You gotta admire those Honda engineers.
Great video!
What were the crazy features? removable seat and double sided cargo matt?!
Great review, keep it up! Wish Acura would rethink what is included in each trim level. Imagine a tech package that doesn't include third row USB ports or a standard 120v outlet. One you splurge for the top of the line, you find yourself asking why you are not considering going with one of the better competitors at that price point. Stuff other cars have for ~15K less.
The last generation highlander had a removable and stowable center middle seat, it actually tucked under the front center console in a compartment.
I could be wrong but I think transit's MPVs had that aswell.
Finally you guys are going to reach 1 million, about time.
Thank you for your awesome review of the MDX. Thank you also for introducing me to the Bernese Mounting Dog breed. I didn't know of that breed until seeing Blaze and hearing you mention his breed type. Beautiful animal.
Yes!! I love the Dog score! Keep it up.
I love love love our fully loaded 2022 MDX. Amazing car!
Blaze is so cute, Love the puppy
I love how you can remove the middle seat, that's smart. But the reversible cargo platform has been done by Ford. Plus you can drop it in to the cubby.
I love this interior, I think it’s an amazing design
I think the touch pad very very easy once you use it a couple times. The 1 to 1 positions are quicker than a mouse pad once you know how it works.
Good overview, Tommy! Interesting that Honda's luxury brand is now being styled after Mazda, at least at the front. Says something about the latest Mazda design cues. ;-)
Awesome Review
Good review! Like what I am seeing including the sweet dog!
Great review, great car, great dog!
Are there any additional cup holders when the rear center piece is removed?
It’s a lovely Doug friendly... excuse me, Dog friendly vehicle😅
Hahaha
I have a few questions. Does the instrument gauge cluster display the navigation screen? Not turn by turn instructions but the map? Can you pay for the HUD and surround camera view feature in the ASpec if you want it? I know it doesn’t come with it but is it possible to pay for them to option it? I want the Type S but I was also curious if they are making a Hybrid also.
Hey David! I'm not 100% about the gauge cluster showing the navigation, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Also, I'm pretty sure you can't get the HUD or the surround view cameras as an add-on unfortunately. As for the hybrid question, I have no clue. Hope this helps a bit!
Good attention to details.
Go Buffs! Thanks for the review. Which trim do you have shown here?
I believe it's the advance due to the walk away liftgate!
I'm looking forward to a Tommy/Blaze vlog series just documenting their daily hikes and adventures or at least, a blaze insta account. Get on this Tommy!
I got mine in June and absolutely love it
blaze the best presenter out of all the tfl crew.
I got the 22 MDX this April and love it., it's so smoothe
Great video as always, but I will say as far as the true touch pad goes, it doesn’t need a cursor if you understand how it works. Wherever your finger is on the pad, is where it’ll be selected on the same area of the screen above.
The 2016+ Honda Pilots have that same removable cargo floor trick. You can also insert the piece at the bottom of the compartment instead of flush mounted to gain cargo height.
nice review...im quite impressed...
Can you test the awd/rollers test on the mdx? Like 3rd vs 4th generation?! I really wanna see if the SH-AWD is any good as they say it is
Omg how good it looks 🔥🔥 I wants this in Europe
Its a really big puppy u got there, makes the car looks small relatively. Cute dog :D
That new color is dope af
Tommy Acura’s touch pad is super easy to use it called true touch i believe, you’re not supposed to swipe unless you’re switching screens. When using the pad you touch the area on the pad where it would be on the screen that’s how it works
Fantastic review. Sorry I missed most of it as you doggo is soooooooooooooooo
Cute 🥰
I don’t know why every manufacturer thinks they have to reinvent the wheel with infotainment systems, if they just took the infotainment from the new accord and put a nicer looking skin on it like Lincoln does it would be perfect
Nope wouldn’t be luxurious enough . You can also scribble on the pad too.
@@rahimi4762 Okay, scribbling isn't luxurious.
@@alh06 say that to Audi, MB, BMW
@@rahimi4762 Never was comparing them, or commended them, I expected this stupid kind of argument from you.
Blaze is adorable! You should definitely do a series on dog-friendly vehicles. 🐶
Tommy, what was that Fire Stick that was plugged into tge USB port with a Acura logo on it? I didnt see one with my new one that I just got on 8/20.
How old is Blaze? We have a 6mth old Bernese . Great dogs. So happy.
Tommy, Nice review, In that upcoming driving reviews, We would like to see comparisons of the new MDX to the new GV80. Those 2 will be fighting for the same market share.
The infotament its very easy to use and you do not need a cursor because its true tach its not mouse pad basicaly when ever you tach on the pad ypi are teching on the srean
A nice upgrade to the MDX. But I have to wonder why the massive driving mode dial is placed where one expects a volume knob and the latter (relaively small dial) is placed where the driving mode might be expected. How often does one adjust the sound system volume versus changing the driving mode. Seems to be a triumph of form over function.
BTW, a beautiful puppy. Bernese Mountain Dogs are among my favorites.
That's a beautiful minivan.
Awesome job Acura
Best Suv Cockpit ever wow. Very sporty futuristic !
Great video. Very informative. Bonus - having the dog, Blaze. As a dog owner I am always concious of how will my dog fit/travel in the vehicle. Our Golden (70lb) will fit nicely in the MDX. The MDX wasnt even on my radar until I saw this review. Thanks!
looks really nice
What kind of case is that for your iPhone?
Love y’all stay safe
Getting heavy Doug Demuro vibes here....not gonna lie 😂
more like dog demuro lol
Same here.
Right
I do love this Car so much MDX 2021
The removable second row middle seat is very cool
Unfortunately it doesn’t leave proper captain’s seats when removed. A huge bonus to a true captain’s seat is having two armrests.
@@bigboybiker yup, minivans do it better.
The reason you having trouble with the touchpad because you using it as a touchpad instead as Acura tells you it is one to one touchpad. So that means if you touch the right corner then the right corner lights up.
Tell me, I can change miles to kilometers in the dashboard settings?
Someone has never used the True Touchpad on a recent Acura and it shows in this video. The pad is soooooooo much easier to use than a traditional "touchpad"
Need to do some research before reviewing car.
That 360 cam is pretty nice for an Acura way better than last years
Great review. I'm looking forward to the next Generation all-new Redesigned 2022 Honda Pilot SUV.
This looks like the location where you guys used to film in like 2013. #ThrowbackThursday!
What a huge improvement over the 2020 model. I do wish at least on the Advance trim, the exterior cladding was body painted and not flat black. I'm also surprised A/C is still not included in the 3rd row, it gets really hot back there & takes forever to cool down in Florida summers, even with 2nd row air on high. These are a couple things the new GV80 offers, but each has their own strengths. Regardless, this new MDX is going to sell very very well, especially with expanded cargo space as a highlight. My GSP will take Blaze's word for pup comfort🙂 Great review!
I love acura and the mdx so much
Need to say what is standard or what package you have to buy
