The All-New 4th Generation 2022 Acura MDX: A Masterclass in Design and Performance
As we take a closer look at the all-new 4th generation 2022 Acura MDX, it's clear that the brand has continued its approach to creating eye-catching and intriguing design work. The MDX boasts an upright and sculpted nature of the grille, which is sure to turn heads on the road. Additionally, the wheelbase is 2.8 inches longer front and rear, giving the vehicle a more expansive and imposing presence.
The tracks are also wider, measuring 1.4 inches, which adds to the overall stance of the MDX. Furthermore, many models come equipped with daytime running light chicane treatment, which adds a touch of sophistication to the design. The trim that frames the windows is chrome-plated on most models, but if you opt for the A-Spec trim, it's gloss blacked out, giving it a sleeker and more sporty look.
In terms of interior space, the MDX has made significant improvements. There is now more room across all three rows, making it an excellent choice for families or those who need plenty of cargo space. The seats are also top-notch, with luxurious materials like open-pore wood and brushed aluminum adorning the cabin. The sport seats are 12-way adjustable, while A-Spec seats come equipped with ventilation, taking comfort to the next level.
One of the standout features of the MDX is its all-new instrument cluster, dubbed the "Precision Cockpit." This innovative design replaces traditional gauges with a customizable 12.3-inch display, making it easier to stay connected and in control on the road. Additionally, an available 10.5-inch full-color head-up display provides an added layer of convenience and safety.
The tech package for the MDX is equally impressive, featuring an EL-Sudio setup that uses 12 speakers, 550 watts, and 12 channels. This setup delivers crystal-clear sound and exceptional clarity, making it perfect for music lovers on-the-go. However, if you opt for the A-Spec or Advanced trims, you'll also get access to the EL-Sudio 3D Premium Audio system, which brings the speaker count up to 16, ups the watts to 710, and increases the channel count to 16.
Under the hood, the MDX packs a powerful punch. The engine is a three-liter V6 that produces 295 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. This potent powerplant is backed by a smooth and responsive speed automatic transmission, making it perfect for both city driving and long road trips. And if you can wait, the upcoming Type S model promises to deliver even more excitement, boasting a three-liter turbocharged engine that makes 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque.
One of the most impressive features of the MDX is its advanced all-wheel-drive system, which sends up to 70 percent of the torque to the rear wheels. This allows for exceptional traction and control on various road surfaces, making it an excellent choice for those who live in areas with unpredictable weather conditions. The Type S model will also come standard with super handling all-wheel drive, further enhancing its performance capabilities.
Finally, the audio system in the MDX is truly top-notch. With a 10,000-watt EL-Sudio speaker system, you'll be treated to crystal-clear sound and exceptional clarity. And if that's not enough, the upcoming Type S model promises to deliver an even more impressive audio experience, with a whopping 22 speakers, 1000 watts, and 25 channels. Whether you're cruising down the highway or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the MDX is sure to impress with its incredible sound quality.
As we take a step back from the MDX's impressive features list, it becomes clear that this vehicle is truly something special. With its stunning design, luxurious interior, and exceptional performance capabilities, it's no wonder why owners have always flocked to this model. And with the upcoming Type S model promising even more excitement, it's likely that the MDX will continue to be a top choice for those who demand the best from their vehicle.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the all-new 4th generation 2022 acura mdx and it continues the brand's approach to eye-catching and intriguing design work i like the upright and sculpted nature of the grille and then the wheelbase is 2.8 inches longer front and rear the tracks are 1.4 inches wider and then we also love the daytime running light chicane treatment as well on most models this trim that frames the windows right here is chrome but if you get an a-spec it's gloss black and i think i like that version a bit better in addition to the sharp lines on the outside the interior also gets a makeover as well and now there's more space across all three rows thankfully acura continues to make some of the best seats in the game these are no exception here especially when they're wearing this really soft brown leather on them you have luxurious materials like open pore wood brushed aluminum and super soft leather up front the sport seats are 12 way adjustable while a-spec seats get ventilation and the advanced package even adds power adjusting side bolsters and thigh extension to bring the adjustable directional count to 16 ways now another neat feature happens here in the second row you've got three across but maybe you don't want to do that this folds down and that's nice there's actually another lever you can flip this whole thing out and remove it completely and now you have second row captain's chairs in effect and easier access to the third row acura calls its all new instrument cluster the precision cockpit no physical gauges inside we have a customizable
