A Refreshed Look for 2022

The 2022 Acura MDX has been dubbed a next-generation model with significant upgrades. A comparison of the 2022 Acura MDX vs 2020 Acura MDX showcases that the nose and rear of this SUV are slightly rounded and the hood is now sculpted and flattened. The 2022 MDX now comes standard with Chicane LED headlights, a spoiler, a tapered roof and a sharp shape that travels through the side windows.

All trims of this year’s MDX models come standard with a panoramic roof, a power lift tailgate and an acoustic laminated windshield. Although the 2020 Acura MDX offered high-end trim, the redesigned interior of the 2022 Acura MDX is something you need to see to appreciate.

This sporty SUV now features wood interior trim with standard leather seating and sport seats. All trim levels feature 12-way power front seats with power lumbar support and tri-zone automatic climate control with air filtration and humidity control. One noticeable upgrade is that all 2022 Acura MDX trim levels, including the base model and Type S model feature heated front seats.

Upgrade to premium trim levels for a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats and ventilated front seats. You can also customize the 2022 Acura MDX with captain’s chairs, but this reduces the capacity from seven to six adults. You’ll still have ample cargo room, though, behind the third row seats.

The Bold Power You Know and Love

One element that hasn’t changed with a comparison of the 2022 Acura MDX vs 2020 Acura MDX is the power. This sporty SUV still features a 290-horsepower 3.5L V6 engine. While the 2020 MDX featured a standard 9-speed automatic transmission, the 2022 model is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Select from 2022 Acura MDX trim levels with front wheel drive or super handling all-wheel drive.

You still get the same savings at the pump you know and love in this year’s MDX model. Front wheel drive trims feature an average MPG of 19 in the city and 25 on the highway. Although the power is the same, Acura eliminated the hybrid option of the MDX for the 2022 model year.

All-New Safety Features

A comparison of the 2022 Acura MDX vs 2020 Acura MDX reveals that this SUV got an upgrade in technology. You’ll find more standard driver assistance technologies than ever before in the 2022 Acura MDX trim levels. This SUV comes standard with a forward collision warning system with collision mitigation braking and advanced pedestrian detection.

All trims are outfitted with lane departure warnings and lane keep assist that issues alerts when you cross into another lane without the blinker activated. The 2022 Acura MDX also comes standard with blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. New for this model year is traffic sign recognition and traffic jam assist.

What has remained the same is brake assist, hill start assist, as well as traction control, 4-wheel antilock brakes and vehicle stability assist. Premium trims of the 2022 model now feature a head-up display, front and rear parking sensors and a surround-view camera.

An Exceptional Precision Cockpit

Infotainment and entertainment also got an upgrade in the 2022 Acura MDX trim levels. Drivers can now enjoy the luxury of the Precision Cockpit that includes larger touchscreen displays when compared to the 2020 model. All trims come standard with a 12.3” HD digital instrument cluster and a 12.3” HD dual-content center display, equipped with a True Touchpad Interface™ and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

All trim levels for 2022 are equipped with wireless smartphone syncing via Apple CarPlay^® and Android™ Auto integration, as well as natural language voice recognition and satellite radio. Drivers also love the convenience of the enhanced navigation system, the Bluetooth^® wireless capabilities and the wireless charging pad. Select from 2022 Acura MDX trim levels that feature a 9-, 12- or 16-speaker premium sound system.
