- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- The 2022 Acura MDX has been completely revised for the new year - is this what the brand needs? We take a look at all the features of this V6-powered crossover, test it on the roads to see how it handles, do a 0-60 test and then take it into the mountains to see how well it deals with the rock trail test.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on the GLE vs. The Acura MDX advance sh AWD. The 22 MDX drove far better than the GLE and GLS - even far generously reasonable in price. I expect better from Mercedes but was disappointed since I expected a better drive; it drove like a regular vehicle instead of a powerful, luxurious motor. The MDX drove inspiring luxuriously, resulting in a desire and a wish to go on a long drive. I already know that Acura MDX will only get better. I recommend the MDX. By the way, I love your reviews that made me go test drive the GLE and GLS but chose the MDX. Keep up the good work.
I had two mercedes before I bought the 2022 MDX last april. I also test drove the GLE and there's no comparison with the MDX blowing the GLE away. The GLE was about 80k with nothing exciting about it. With the MDX I get the panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, apple /android car play, third row seating but overall more room. The MDX is buttery smooth. Mercedes has been putting out subpar vehicles for a while now and you're overspending just for a logo
Mdx is the way to go in my opinion, it has no reliability issues. Our family has one for 14 years now on the same Tranny, I see GLEs that are late model stuck on the freeways all the time in South Orange County calif, so If being stuck on the road is your thing, go for the GLE
our 2016 mdx we bought new has outlasted 2 GLES and we are on the third
Acura is my “go to” kind of vehicle any time any day. I have 2017 MDX, the Tech version and I have never regretted owning it. I started with 2002, to 2006 and now 2017. It is been a long waaaaaay. Great review, with good camera angles. This is a perfect review I have watched so far. Great job!
How has your transmission experience been?
In the long run which one is the MONEY PIT? I will take this Acura mdx over that MBenz any day, any time! Fantastic work with the cameras I love this dude reviews.
I agree. I have a Benz and an Acura. The Benz will cost way more if you want the same features. Also even to get an oil change at a Benz dealership makes you feel like you paid for a brake job.
@@IFRSKIES you are totally right everything Mercedes Benz will cost big time money like you said even a simple oil change.
Same old argument for people who can’t afford a German vehicle
@@petewick8627 seen a friend dealing with the headaches that brings you owning a German vehicle is enough to me. And believe me I can afford it if a want to.
@@petewick8627 I've had 2 brand new Mercedes (E class) and had just got out of my BMW 5 series. I CAN afford luxury vehicles and mercedes has been putting out subpar vehicles for some time now. The 2022 MDX is far better with its smooth handling and you get all of the features, some of which the german vehicles don't possess. I'll bet you drive a chevy cruise. Same old comment about people putting others down about what they can't afford when they themselves can't afford a new luxury vehicle and probably have a 2010 bmw and think theyre spending large. LOL Get out of here petey
A No Brainer for me... MDX Advance with SH-AWD, all the way. Load up the "luxury" competitors : X5, Q7, GLE, XC90... and See the Value here !! Those cars are Thousands more. Acura did a brilliant redesign of this Flagship vehicle. After shopping and researching / viewing many reviews, I got My new 2022 MDX Advance in August, and at 70 YO, haven't been this excited about my new car Purchase (lease) in a long time. One point I would like to make about reviews of 3rd Row SUVs. Everyone makes a big deal out describing the lack of room in the 3rd Row... and not for just this vehicle , many others. If you really need that 3rd Row on a regular basis, then you should get a quality Minivan with AWD. The 2022 MDX is a best in Class Mid Sized SUV , IMHO. Looks of course are subjective, it's he Performance that COUNTS and the reliability. And the Service costs , even just oil changes.. Hold onto your wallets for MB, Audi, BMW, Volvo, and the others.
An Update to my comments 6/22... I got a 2022 MDX Advance in Fathom Blue Pearl with he Gray Leather Interior [Subjective for sure - but I love it]. After nearly 10 months of ownership, I can say that MDX still evokes a smile on my face - the Novelkty has not worn Off!. I definetely don't sweat the 3rd Row - never use it as a 70 year old retiree. Yes, the TTIP (touch pad InfoT. system) does have a "learning" curve. It rides, handles, steers magnificantly. The new front Suspension is something you can Feel. The 10 spd AT is terrific . The ELS Steeo is Spectactular. Like all cars there are Cons: the MPGs are disappointing, a small bit of road noise form the OEM ties on some roads, the poor altered performance of the the Track pad when you engage Android Auto or Apple Car Play (I have Android Phones in the household) which strangley disengages the USB port in the console so you can't play Flash drives while using AA or ACP, the front Radar is disturbed if it cakes up with snow or slush, the wireless charging pad is Flakey at times ???. I will say, that even after the months of ownership, I have yet to "play" with the Toys: the various interior lighting scenarios, and adjusting to the TTIP (it does have a Short Cut icon to make selections very easy), and setting the Individual Mode feature (note that when you start the car each time, it defaults to Normal Mode, but you can simply hit the individual Button to return to our prescribed setings). I am very pleased with my decision. The Type S has now become available, but I don't think I would have layed out an additional $10K for it.
Boy i was waiting for this!
I live in North East and we have heavy snow here couple time a year. One year we had big snow storm and lost power to the house, we have little kids in the house so we decided to pack up and drive to a hotel. Along the way to the hotel we saw so many cars including SUV got stuck on the road or just struggled to keep moving. Fortunately my 2019 MDX was so amazing in the snow and we had no issue. unfortunately my 2019 MDX was totaled due to a recent accident so im on the market for 2024 MDX. Shopped around but nothing can compare to MDX in term of value and reliability.
Really good review of the 2022 MDX with a solid emphasis on its advanced features. What I found a bit premature was the comparison to the GLE. §ince this video focused on the features maybe it gets a pass on the comparison. For me, it's not the feature to feature comparison that would lead to a buy decision...it's the after sale durability. Bought my first Acura in 1992, drove it 320,000 miles with no major issues. Bought my second Acura, a 2002 MDX, now with 280,000 miles and still my everyday drive. In 2016 we purchased our 3rd Acura, another MDX for my wife to drive. It wasn't the feature by feature comparison that caused us to buy now 3 Acura products...it was the durability and quality of the products. They rarely ever have service issues which keeps us out of the repair shops. Our experience with the Acura product has been excellent.
Thanks for this amazing review, you just help me to make a decision
Ryan will still pick GLE because he drinks Mercedes Koolaid to bed everynight.
Wow 🤩 this is impressive that you were able to get this car so early. You are in my opinion the best reviewer on UA-cam. Always current and always showing this features and tests people actually care about. Thank you 🙏🏽
Awesome review again. You’re one of the few car channels that I want to watch every time a new video comes out
Hey, Ryan, i really liked the way you review cars/suvs. keep ‘em coming👍🏼😎
Loved the phone call section
Unplanned but the timing was great.
Great in depth review, I have the 2017 MDX love it
love this vehicle, especially the interior!
OUTSTANDING In-depth review. I appreciate that it was not just beautiful music paired with great photography that accentuates all the beautiful angles & character lines. He EMPHASIZED all the hi-tech aspects, especially all the safety bells & whistles and handling of the vehicle in rain, off-road, etc. I’ll be waiting for his Type-S review!
One of most in-depth, honest and unbiased reviews. Thanks!
Dude went over and beyond a vehicle review, well done .
Very impressive review. Certainly did a thorough job.
Another great review Ryan!
Top notch production A+
Grande carro!
A Honda fez um excelente trabalho com o sistema SH-AWD!
Páreo duro para Subaru e outros 4X4!
I’m doing my research with this suv and this is probably the 10th + video I watched. But I must say YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON WHO REVIEWED THIS SUV 😊 I am very impressed and thankful for this video
The front bumper cover 'vents' are designed to create an air curtain down the side of the front wheels to reduce turbulence.
how in the fuckk does this channel only have 170k subs? wtf? This guy does incredible reviews.
because he uses big words and he doesn't have something genius like the dougscore...maybe some click-bait titles would help haha.
Cool video …. Thank you for the Test drive dude…
I'd love to see more thorough off road testing with SH-AWD!
Will be nice if they do it with the proper tires.
@@hybridstiger I'd love to see a guy who makes a rock crawler mdx
This must take a lot of time filming, thanks for putting this together 😊
Booming Interested in new designing from size to interior MDX, RDX, TLX 2022, Good job Acura
Great video, love it👍🏼
We have owned 5 acuras since 2004 including a TL, 3 MDX and at present driving a 2020 RDX. The MDX should arrive in December and looking forward to it.
Awesome review, if money wasn't an issue and only planning to keep the car less than 3 years, GLE, else MDX all day.
My thoughts exactly. Mercedes is only good for 3 years MAX. Then it becomes a pile of parts and $ to replace them. For soccer moms, and families that don’t do serious off-roading, I’d go with the MDX between the 2 all day long. Though at this point I’d wait for the Type-S.
For most offroading, the proper tires is a must.
German automotive for me are leased not bought, however been buying Acuras since 07 making me a loyal Acura buyer knowing that regardless what the critics say, one think(s) is indisputable, their low maintenance and reliability.
The middle fold down part of the second row is completely removable. So if you have two car seats, you can still walk through to the back third row seat. It is the only suv that can do that.
Thanks for your quality review!
I really enjoyed watching you set up Apple car play and the rest of the car before your drive. Big plus for me. Nice job 👍
This MDX looks great. I was expecting it to be larger on the inside when I heard they increased the wheelbase by 4 inches. That second row seems tight. Unless you are a giant. hahaha.
Detailed and good review, one of the best. Especially off-road trail test is not the kind of test you can always see for other reviewers. But, please also mention the dimensions as a footnote somewhere in the video with US and EU measurement units together.
Ryan, great thorough review. Interesting comment about the suspension dampening. I have a 2019 MDX Advance package. When you select sport mode , it does stiffen up the dampening affect of the suspension. You didnt point out that the 2022 has 50 ratio tires vs mine with 45 ratio tires. I had a non advance 2019 loaner last year , with 50 ratio tires on 20 inch wheels, and THERE was a difference in the ride comfort in the Sport mode. Previous generation MDXs don't have Snow modes, this one does. Too bad, Acura seems to hzve dropped the Canyon Bronze metallic exterior color as I have with the espresso leather interior. Since I got mi e in June 2019, I have received many compliments on the color, especially when she is all spiffed up..... I will say the model you tested looks very sharp.
Thanks soo much for sharing
Hi Ryan. Thank you for producing this video. Please consider reviewing the new Acura MDX S Type off road with its lift mode. Thanks.
Yes, in fact, the type S does open the vents in the front bumper. They go to the front brakes. They were planned to be left open in the normal model, and in fact the ducting still exists behind them; however they were blocked off for fuel consumption reasons, and yes any sh-awd model will kick the rear out, the VSA allows some oversteer without intervention though you can still turn it off
A great car and great video! Thumbs up.
My 2003 Acura MDX Touring with 195k miles still runs smooth, plan to keep it for another 5 - 7 years, BTW premium fuel is for suckers.
We traded our 2008 RDX for the 2022 MDX aspec. We did consider the same thing about premium fuel that we had to use with the turbo 4cyl. So now we can use regular . We only had 160,000 miles but it needed a complete suspension refresh.
I think we saved enough money with no payment for 8 extra years past our 5 year loan.
@@chrisrobles2012 MDX engine is exactly the same specs as the 3.5 V6 in the Pilot, but rated using premium fuel. Pilot runs perfectly on regular. Save your money.
Great video!
I like everything about this new design. I wish they will integrate the infotainment into the dash and not let it jutting out.
Definitely would buy the MDX A-Spec over the GLE any day. Maintenance is so much cheaper (Oil Change on MDX is $60, GLE is $200 - 300). Also, its easier to work on Japanese cars over European cars.
@3:45, realistically speaking, the person sitting in the middle seat would adjust his/her seat to accommodate that rear person.
Just bought and if everyone adjusts their seats there is space for all rows
Whoooooosh! My next car!
The 2nd row middle seat/armrest/cup holder is removable on all models so the MDX does allow for / have captain seating in the second row.
1:05 they were originally open in testing but Acura found it actually made the car less aero dynamic and gave more wind resistance so they sealed them.
Here come the Acura apologigetics!
@@normt430 here comes the GM salesmen. Dang Acura makes you mad doesn’t it?
@@AFCompany Buick outsells Acura...
Norm and his obsession of Buick’s lmfao
@@pilotvanquish3886 Acura is more like Honda+ today.
We'll eventually downsize from the minivan and we both want an MDX, such an awesome vehicle!
Typical.
Get hatch/audi-vw wagon.
@@tahsin28 Let me worry about how I spend my money
Love this review, 3rd row is a bummer on space. Appreciate your level of detail.
We are thinking of smaller children in back row but hopefully they can get that fixed
I enjoy your videos 🤝🍻
love your video's from toronto
Great taste of music!
Wow, an SUV I actually like.
FYI... The new for 2019 RDX switched to the SH-AWD twin clutch system. New gen TLX now has it also. Both are powered by the 2 liter turbo 4-cylinder.
If u buying and keeping long term, my money is on the MDX. I have an MDX 2011 with 102k miles, mostly a car we take on long trips and i love the smooth v6 with the SH-AWD. I hope i can go a few more years on it, already i am considering another MDX as the RDX is a turbo 4 cylinder, nothing beats naturally aspirated V6power!
One can only dream of the Honda Odyssey equivalent from Acura. The Acura ODX SH-AWD maybe 🤔
Maybe with GM Ultium EV underneath that Honda and Acura is going to borrow.
oh yea that's interesting, they gotta do that. ODX sounds GREAT
an sh-awd odyssey would make too much sense over a dumb crossover so they wont do it
@@ShaiyanHossain Even though it makes more sense people these days dont care about sense. Most people these days care about their image. I would love an Acura ODX though.
Yes! But, probably the same reason Lexus doesn't make a Sienna equivalent. That said, the top trims of both the Odyssey and Sienna are premium brand quality. I just want SH-AWD.
Hi, great review. I noticed the Tech Package has a Camera button on the right lever on the wheel, It hasn't been reviewed or mentioned not even on the actual Acura Official Website. Is that a blind spot camera like Honda?
Nice. This is the one.
Honestly, Idk why you compare this to GLE. GLE is definitely not the same target. GLE with the same equipped will cost 50% and more.
“Unfortunate souls in my third row”😭😭😂😂
This luxury 3-row SUV does NOT have to "conquer the rock trail"!!! It is meant to be driven mainly on paved roads!!!
Alot of people do use these for camping which can require mild off roading.
SHAWD is also in the RDX with turbo 4 cylinders engine.
Hopefully they tighten up the sound deadening next year work out those little kinks. Sad if you spend 50 to 60 k and called out for road noise or wind noise. With that said I got the 2019 RDX and road and wind noise are really good.
Acura Bluetooth disconnection has been a problem for years now. BT randomly disconnect for 3 years on my 2018 MDX with a Samsung S10 and now the same problem with the 2020 MDX and a brand new samsung S21. I am glad you notice the same problem with the BT on the 2022. So many have complained but got brushed aside by the dealer service department as the PHONE PROBLEM.
I almost bought a Huyndai Palisade for more cargo room, better 2nd and 3r row seats (Ryan you can comfortably fit in the 3rd row of the Palisade), and better infosystem ergonomics. I personally detest the touch pad on my wife 2019 RDX, so I turned it in 1 year early -with a loss for a 2020 MDX.
Ryan, I don't know whether you have any pulls with Acura engineers . If you are , can you relay the user frustration of the random BT disconnect. I use the phone for business a lot while driving so the disconnection/reconnection has been a huge annoyance for a so-called luxury cars. ALso this presents a driving safety issue as the user has to reach for the phone to continue the conversation, thus violating many states' law of hand free calling.
Thanks in advance,
A long time frustated owner of 5 acura cars.
It’s not just Acura, I’ve owned BMW’s that do the same. I had to disable Bluetooth for songs and calls and just use the cord into the usb outlet.
I just picked up a 2022 MDX aspec and I am getting use to the touchpad and all the technology. I am going to be trying out both the Bluetooth and cord and see how it changes the quality or interface when someone calls.
Can you review the 2021 Land Rover Discovery? Pretty please! Kinda like you did the 4runner. I am looking for something that sits a lil high with great off-road ability.
I’ve been looking forward to this review. It may sound crazy, but when I replaced my ‘06 Acura TL, I decided to go with the first generation RDX (2007-2012) because it had the SH-AWD. The second gen RDX does not, even though it had a V6. I love it. Here soon, I’m excited to see the MDX Type S. I wish they’d do a RDX Type S but I doubt it.
The RDX is just a CR-V underneath. Acura went cheap when there was no SH-AWD in RDX. Don't plan on better sound deadening with Type-S.
@@normt430 Yes. The second generation was soft and had a V6, which was nice since the crv was under powered.
Lexus needs to get thier styling under control, because that's the only reason I'm looking at the mdx.
You know the best thing about blind spots become inside will prevent thieves from stealing mirrors, all cars most do that
It seems a little convoluted concerning the Driving Modes : Snow, Comfort, Normal, and Sport and selecting the Sport in Drive? What does the Sport in Drive selection do? How does that affect each of the Driving Dynamic Modes? THX for the Info
MDX double the lifespan
Hurrah for tan brown interior.
It’s about time
This review is great as usually 👍
Do you have such off-road test of Lexus RX? I wasn’t able to find
We haven't taken RX up the hill yet. When we get a refresh we certainly will.
It won't pass the single wheel up test.
I test drove the 2022MDX and the 2021 GLE. GLE lacks power, seems smaller, 3rd row option not enough space. MDX better value, 3rd row, more power, more features. Put a deposit down today on 2022 Avanced MDX.
Dale, I got my new MDX Advance in August, trading in my 2019 MDX on a early Lease termination deal and $1K Loyalty offer from Acura. Never even looked at MB GLE except on line. Load up the GLE and see the $$$$ differene and value of the MDX !! I usually don't like to use the term LOVE for things... (I reserve that word for people), however, I REALLY LIKE THIS CAR! At 70 YO, and after 1 month of ownership, I'm still feeling like a 12 year old kid who got his favorite XMAS toy. I haven't been this "excited" about a new car in long while. I've had many cars over the years, purchased and leased, and I think this tops the level of excitement of the 2007 Infiniti G35X, which was my first Leap into the "luxury" car from Nissans (excluding a 2004 Pathfinder AWD purchased used - a very good SUV but drank gasolione), Pontiacs, Mitsubishis (a 1988 Galant, was an excellently performing spots sedan in the Top of The Line model), Jeep Grand Cherokee. The G35X was the best car I ever owned (leased actually).until the new MDX. I got mine in Fathom Blue Pearl with Graystone Leather Interior. Rarely seen color, that I actually first saw on a Acura MDX Blog site form Pics posted by a Poster, then saw it Live at a dealership, seeing that the paint color name was spot on: It looks like he Fathoms of the Sea, casting different sheens at different angles and different light and accentuating its more muscular redesign. Good Luck !!
I love this review because it does not try to review this car as if it’s an x5 M60i!!! This car is for mature buyers that want comfort with the ability to pass people on the freeway
I always like your video and watch most if not all your videos. Anyway, if Acura can bring the infotainment screen all the way to the front edge where driver can reach it more easily and make it a touch screen, it would be much better. We all used to touch screen on the phone so it is a much prefer method for me :). Also, the power plant really needs to go above 300hp... my 8 years old 2013 RDX has about the same horse power. Another thing is... Acura probably can learn from KIA and projects the blind spot camera on the dash when the turning signal is activated.
Buick Enclave makes 310hp on low octane!
Why would you want to look down at the dashboard when changing lanes? They probably left that feature out deliberately.
I'm watching your video for the 2nd time. This Vehicle is Exciting. So, if I have this right, there is no suspension dampening changes when changing drive modes? I own a 2019 MDX Advance which Does change the dampening.. In fact with 45 Ratio tires on 20 inch wheels, when selecting Sport Dynamic Mode, the ride becomes too harsh on rough pavements. In a loaner that I had with 50 Ratio tires, it was better than mine. Notwithstanding that, I believe you mentioned that this MDX comes with 50 Ratio tires...
Agreed for the wireless android it drops easy and a pain to reconnect I have an black on black a-spec
Funny you mention the Merc. As I have been eyeing the GLC 43 (To purchase within a couple of years, As I have to finish paying off, 2 of my current vehicles) Obviously a different beast all together. But I digress. Not bad of a vehicle, this MDX is, if one is looking for/needing a 3 row, though...
Great Job once again, Ryan, on highlighting the aspects/pluses of the vehicle you are reviewing at that time. Have definitely come along way from your Subie only days... Definitely appreciate the Broader Spectrum/Mindset .
any plans for RDX type S?
My God, my 4Runner makes those trails looks so freaking easy.
For the excessive wind noise, have you tried it with the sunshade closed?
Nice review! To reduce noise during rain you can try to close the panoramic roof))Great car! Very beautiful brown interior. Hope they will add touch screen and change gear selector from buttons to knob or smth like this. Also it is a dream, but i’d like Acura to have diesel engine also🤷🏻♂️. Keeping in mind reliability I’d prefer Acura.
I agree with your wish for a diesel BUT you will never see it due to washington dc.
27:42 it is also on the older and newer RDX SH-AWD (4cyl turbo only)
I think besides sport mode you also need to hit the d/s button.
The 17-20 MDX Sport Hybrid with 321hp/289tq, 7DCT, Sport+ mode, electronic dampers, regen braking, and tq vectoring was the performance version until the MDX Type-S. The hybrid sh-awd works on and off engine power to help in performance/handling up/down a mountain switchback.
A lot of complaints about the info-tainment execution with Acura over the years. Too many buttons, not enough buttons, dual screen sucks, no touch screen, track pad sucks, etc... The track pad is an improvement compared to previous info-tainment from the button heavy 2nd MDX and dual screen 3rd Gen MDXs. Touch screens are nice; but, I hate having finger prints on the screen. Acura just needs to make it a touch screen for those that like touching things. Acura also needs to allow you to go full screen or flip/flop the left/right displays. Next, Acura needs to allow you to move the navi screen into the gauge cluster as an option. Having the option to tilt/swivel the upper screen would also help with glare from the windows and pano sunroof.
Thanks for pressing Acura on the suspension settings. I have a deposit on an Advance and have been looking for this answer for a while. Unfortunately Acura’s literature is quite unclear & it was good to hear an explanation directly from Acura. I agree it’s confusing and unfortunate that they lead you to believe the suspension is adjustable in their settings menu. BTW, we are in the Puget Sound area as well & enjoy seeing vehicles tested and reviewed on the local roads. Out of curiosity, what’s the forest road you use to do your off road testing?
It’s near Snoqualmie but we don’t share specifics out of concern they’ll gate the roads if they become too popular.
Jean, I’m in Canada and I asked my salesperson about the dampers because the Canadian literature mentions adaptive damper system as standard on all trims, and I was confused with all the US reviews mentioning that they are fixed dampers. My salesperson confirmed with Acura Canada that Canadian models are getting adaptive dampers (while US models aren’t). I’m not sure why this decision was made. Perhaps they didn’t want to hurt Type S sales in the US (based on market research). Or it could have also been a supply issue. I have no idea. On one hand adaptive dampers are nice, but on another, they would be more expensive to fix.
Glad I read this comment and heard the exact words on the video right after !
I think because this technology looks exactly like BMW’s, it probably has the same controller or interface without electric dampers on the suspension so they used the input to change the SH-AWD .
Will the Honda Pilot 2023 have an entertainment tv in the back in your opionion?
Great video. I really like the design of this Acura. I’ve not been a fan of the MDX since the original, but this one is really nice.
another nice review...but still awaiting uploading the lx570 review
I hate that the rear window on new suvs do not pop open when the gate is down. I wish they fixed this. Also, the push button for drive and reverse suck. I have a 2017 MDX. It drives amazing so i let these things go, but was hoping they would get it right for 2022.
Great review . I also found the 2nd row seating a little tight and uncomfortable and for 62k some of the plastics were cheap in feel and look. Perhaps early builds account for the noise. Maybe a lower trim for around 50k would be the smart buy. Also, the Type S looks nice when it comes out but at what price point?
My 2007 MDX is more roomy in the second row.
Passport is probably the most capable crossover on the market.
And not even recommended by Consumer Reports just like the MDX.
@@normt430 blindly trusting CR for anything is like blindly trusting MSNBC to report on the stock market
@@ShaiyanHossain not to trust a single source when doing your research. But I do like CNBC or Bloomberg for my business news.
The question is, will you testing the Type-S (MDX & RDX) when it comes out..
There is not RDX Type-S. Even the RDX Apec is more Bspec or Cspec according to Car & Driver.
Depends on what Andrew from Acura thinks of this review. LOL.
@@normt430 RDX Type-S is definitely inevitable within the next year.
@@ThirdBrainLives the RDX was designed for a 3.0 V6?
@@normt430 nope
You can get the ‘21 TLX with SH-AWD and it’s a 4 cylinder. The first generation RDX had SH-AWD (2007-2012) and was Honda/Acura’s first use of a turbo 4.
Yeah. That was a stupid error. I know better.
Honda used a turbo on the Honda City Turbo
@@drivingsports It's okay!
Do this test with the new 21 Ford Edge Love to see I own one
Can you also test the speakers in the car?
Will this MDX last as long as RX? I tend to keep a car for about 10 years.
