2024 Acura MDX Type S | MotorWeek Road Test 

Got this one & still have my 08 with 141K miles!

0-60 in 5.4 seconds seems nuts to me because I grew up with the Testarossa doing it in 5.2. Soccer moms put on your driving gloves!

I was 14 in 2001 and grew up with the 1st generation MDX when my parents had them. Now, in 2024 I bought a new MDX for my family and I. This car will always be in my family. Hands down most reliable and best SUV I've ever had, and I've had everything from Range Rovers to the Porsche Cayenne.

Ive has new cars for the last 20 years trading them in every 2-3 years no no leases, just sold my last car and was in the market for another, boy with the prices today the value is just not there dont matter how many screens are on it, 70k for this??? Ridiculous man add the apr at all time high hard pass. I think so manufactures will get a reality check

A little late guys. The 2025 models are being tested. Still a good review and John Davis is the best!! 👍

A top contender for my wife’s next whip.

Still loving my 24 Type-S…white with red interior🔥🔥

Wait! You're testing the 2024 MDX Type S while everyone else is testing the just released 2025 already?

5.4 seconds to 60 and a 13.9 second quarter mile is MORE than enough power for something this large. These are a hit in my area. Some of the people commenting and hating can’t even afford this car so stop being weirdos.

Would love a hybrid version

They need a Type S with a twin turbo using the 3.7 they used to have.

Wow! She performs amazingly!!

I had 2 1987 Acura Legends. They were great cars. I'm looking forward to driving an MDX.

I still believe hybridization would help Acura's overall sales, but I have seen a lot of MDXs over the years.

They actually found another road in MD to use. Lol

As usual Motorweek spews out another garbage ADVERTISEMENT VIDEO POSING AS JOURNALISM. When are people going to wake up and realise this is a marketing channel

Acura is top tier🔥🔥

Just got this one. It's fun to drive and does not make me feel like driving a boaty 3 row SUV. Gas mileage is not good, but I don't live in California, so who cares

The 2025 has a touch screen, pass on the 2024 big time. The infotainment is horrible in all but the new 2025.

Looks good.

People complain about Honda V6s still using a timing belt… but what they don’t have are catastrophic timing chain problems that have plagued other makes! I still think they are missing a niche without a RDX v6 turbo type S and/or not having a more off road “TRD” type of lifted, bigger tired version. Not necessarily going off road, rather, I’m taking my family to the mountains for a ski or camping trip where average cars better not go.

Someone Just needs to invent a Type R version of the Honda Pilot. Like they put the Type S version of this MDX. After all it’s a 3 row crossover

Pretty soon, driving a sedan will be history.

"The benchmark in its price point"? What sort of baloney is that? Acura cars aren't any kind of benchmark in any way whatsoever.

You know they mean business when they put the battery in the back. Officially a race car!

Is this a Joke?

Now we just need a RDX TypeS.

It's a nice SUV, but not at $76k when you could have a Honda Pilot for under $50k.

nice that they kept the V6. but why they needed to re-invent the gear shifter. I'll take an ordinary lever, please.

A bit spendy, and the low gas mileage with premium fuel is concerning

Outstanding 👏

For an automobile at this overpriced point....I find it way too Honda to justify the 70K price tag. I stuck with BMW for that unique and special feel...

Wait...2025 is out with a new interior, but we talking about 2024?

I miss the light inside of the speaker grills in the type S

$70000 for an Acura 😂

A type s SUV. Give me a break..lol😮

The mpg is crappy for this size/power of vehicle. Should get 30-32 mpg on the freeway.

It's just not worth the money they want. It makes a top of the line Honda Pilot seem worth it.

To acquire this top of the line ACURA suv your spending as much as a a BMW X5 that doesn’t perform as well as a BMW. My 2020 x5 outperforms this latest mdx and I get 24 plus to the gallon in combined driving and over 32 on the highway, while your at it the latest x5 really outperforms this Acura product. There is a reason that BMW is the number one valued and reliable Consumer Reports overall brand, because they are the best driving, reliable luxury/ overall brand in the world. Since the MDX comes up short why not just get the X5 since this version costs as much.

I want one the price tag is crazy

Great suv, where was this filmed? beautiful location...

Beautiful ❤

This or a Rivian R1S?

111ft. Very behind as always with an Asian car. At least there was no supposed fade.

This video look 10 years old already 😢

Type SUV

"We averaged a fine 20.3MPG on premium" - in what imaginary world is 20.3MPG fine? It's atrocious... dreadful... expensive, polluting and ridiculous given that people are switching to battery electrics that are much cheaper to drive and don't put out any air pollution

I think it's too much money for what you get. Sure it's more reliable than a BMW, but reliability isn't enough.

With its weight, it needs at least 50 more HP. Also, who the hell makes a V6 with a timing belt for a mainstream car these days? Rear looks pretty good, front end is ugly.

Motorweek lives in a pretend world where America's Tesla brand does not exist. For this reason they never mention, compare with or review Tesla cars. Tesla's Model Y is the world's best-selling vehicle of any type in 2023+2024. (Not reviewed by Motorweek since 2020) The low-selling Japanese car they're advertising in this video is crushed by the Tesla in sales and in specs. 0-60 is 5.6sec in the Acura and 3.5sec in the Tesla. $66 to drive the Acura about 350-360 miles... vs. $20 or less to drive the Tesla 300 miles. 71cu.ft. storage in the Acura... 76cu.ft. in the Tesla. $69,000 for the Acura... $52,000 for the Tesla. Software so bad that even Motorweek can't lie about it in the Acura... vs. World's best automotive software in the Tesla.

On the road during vacation ai noticed the similarities between our CRV and its Acura counterpart. Is the MDX related to the Pilot?

Yes?? 2025 is out.. why are they putting 2024... i think acura can NOT SALE this gas guzzler, overpriced and not anything special mdx.. they should have put a hybrid version for 2025. That gets 25mg to 28mg on highway and drop the price by $20,000. I put my money on a Toyota rav4 hybrid anyday.!!! Way cheaper! Better in every way! 😊

Awesome suv and often reviewers misinterpreted and misinform because is not a luxury brand like Mercedes or BMW just like those are not like Bentley and Rolls Royce. Acura is premium brand to Honda meaning it offers more than a branded Honda. Mr Honda philosophy was being good at many things for less price with new innovations.

LOL at all the coping BMW fans. The MDX is by far the better value over the X5 xD 40i when you factor that it's just as fast, is lighter, has excellent driving dynamics, looks better (subjective), is much better equipped, and has three rows. of seats. I like both BMW and Acura but BMW has lost it's way. The sedans are all hideous and overweight now that the 5 series has been redesigned (still hoping to get my hands on a F90 M5 before it inevitably goes up in value), and the SUVs are heading that direction as well (see:xM, X7). Then there's the fact they're selling overpriced garbage like the 2 series GC... Don't get me wrong X5 is still a decent vehicle (for now), but it's not as competitive with Acura like other vehicles such as the m340i which still owns that entire class (again, for now). The MDX is Acura's bread and butter (and the reason it's not Infiniti). It has been the best selling 3-your luxury SUV in America basically since it went on sale decades ago and is a huge cash cow (along with the RDX) and it only keeps getting better, unlike most BMWs unfortunately.

*Acura stopped innovating. No hybrid. No RWD based sports car/sedan. Type Slow, abysmal MPG MDX, no thanks.*

Underpowered for the high price!🤷🏼

It’s 2025 guys, I know you’re pbs but really?

Will sell like hotcakes

Disastrous brand without any substance. Essentially it is an overpriced Honda. It is essentially a Honda Odyssey with weak all wheel drive.

The 3.0 turbo V6 engine in type s variant has a peculiar problem torque converter is not transferring power properly to the transfer case or differential

“LATE TO THE PARTY MOTOR WEEK 😮” The 2025 is out !!! 🥱
