As an Acura owner and long time enthusiast, I will say the design language is near the top of its class. However, when it comes to performance for the Type S division, I'm sad it does not compete well with its rivals. I understand Acura's approach in producing such vehicles with a conservative approach when it comes to performance, but for the money id say its def a stretch. Honda and Acura in this day and age is to market towards the comfort and luxury of their SUV segment. As an TLX ASPEC owner, I have been slowly shifting towards the BMW M division as my interest in more of a true performance has grown in the last couple of years. Acura markets this vehicle as a more sporty appearance vehicle but by no means close to the performance of its german rivals. The only true performance vehicle in the lineup is the integgy type s but even then for the price, its a tough sell. Let me know what you guys think as well!

The idea of button-selected gears is to clean up the center console, but in Acura’s execution, it’s not entirely effective.

@1MountainLife 24 дня назад

Wow looks like separate teams worked on the interior. The dash looks like a 3 layer cake. I'm seeing 4 different contrasts of black along with lines going everywhere but not exactly matching up. I'll miss the mid 2005-2010 SUV's that had utility to them...Cheyenne, Pilot, Pathfinder, etc. I still take my MDX camping, moderate towing and offroading. Can't do that with anything out today unless you get a true body on frame truck

@ShaiyanHossain 24 дня назад

the body on frame segment is ever more lucrative since the profit margins are insane and the EPA penalizes smaller vehicles.

@Edward_Cruz День назад

Honda has already done well in getting the software and UI just right for the touchscreens in their current-gen vehicles so I know the screen functionality is superb and so I'm glad to see the touchscreen brought over. I just hope to see more effort in the integration in upcoming refreshes as well as in the other models as it currently falls victim to being an afterthought here and so now the ergonomics suffer. It's just not something I would expect to see in an Acura product. I'm also really hoping that the audio is up to par with the previous ELS systems because those have been such a pleasure to have.

Looks like a sumptuous and refined interior from this Acura Type S though I reckon it is a bit cramped for tall guys to fit into the back seats.

@atracin 24 дня назад

Im so happy they went with a touch screen. I have a (new to me) 2020 RDX and I absolutely loath the touch pad. With Android Auto/Apple Car play its just a terrible experience since theres no quick way to navigate. Horrible experience. If i could I'd rip the entire head unit out for something else.

@ibz.a 24 дня назад

yea... at that price might as well go for an X5 or GLE or Q7

@BIGGELATO 24 дня назад

That’s what im thinking, makes no sense. I’m in QC, these things used are still really expensive for what it is. Price similarly to German cars. I could get an X5M for less, even an M5.

@ibz.a 24 дня назад

@@BIGGELATO yea maybe used X5M… new ones are 120k+++. Their regular x5 40i has a mild hybrid and similar power to the type S w better fuel economy… starts at 87k, if you are in Quebec the 50e PHEV may have more incentives. The 40i gives combined 26mpg vs type S 20mpg

That’s still cheaper than it would be in America. The equivalent Type S advance in the U.S. is $74K usd even before delivery/fees/taxes. $104K cad is about that converted.

@mwlivingstoncolorado 22 дня назад

I have a current-gen Acura MDX A-Spec. I'm not happy with the vehicle. The A/C is really bad (notice how the reviewer had to keep it on "lo" the entire time); the heat is just as poor; the heated and ventilated seats produce almost no cooling or heat; the car has rattles everywhere; and there are issues with low-speed transmission hesitation. And the service at Acura hasn't been great either, with none of these issues yet resolved. And while it looks great, they made the hood longer to accomplish that look at the expense of rear-seat legroom. My MDX has way less 2nd-row legroom than my 2015 Highlander did. On the plus side, the sound system is incredible, the ergonomics are good with the buttons, and the headlights are phenomenal.

@ibz.a 24 дня назад

id like to see sound system, fuel economy and driving impressions of the Aspec Advance trim, given its more for family use... dont really need it to be super powerful, and appreciate the slightly better but not phenomenal fuel economy of the NA 3.5 v6.... still would take a V6 over a tubro four in the TX350 I think, trying to make up my mind... if i really need the big TX... acura really let me down by not having vents in the third row... and it would have been nice if they included cooled seats in the second row on their top rim like the lexus or even what toyota/kia offer...

@regmatt 23 дня назад

Best thing about acura are the seats and sh-awd...if they isolated the road noise thats even better ...downside ..no rear ac vents as underfloor vents doesn do any good during the heat .

@alittlecomplicated1844 16 дней назад

I'm considering cross-shopping the Acura MDX (including Type S trim) against the Lexus GX 550 (and used GX 460). I understand it would be apples to oranges comparison given unibody versus body-on-frame chassis. Could you comment on whether the MDX or GX is more comfortable and quieter over rough pavement and long distances? Thanks!

Both Android auto and CarPlay are clearly wide screen. There is only the native car menu on the left side. So not sure what you mean there.

@@star9732 Someone spending $80k might feel better about buying a more advanced powertrain that provides better performance and fuel efficiency simultaneously like you'll find in a competitor. The comparatively poor fuel economy is a reflection of the lack of premium-ness in this area.
