More Spice, More Nice! -- The 2023 Acura MDX Type S adds Performance AND Fancy Goodies! 

I like how you guys do the sound level reading, its nice that its set as a separate chapter on RU-vid video timeline and that you also shared the chart with readings of the similar competitors. Please keep that up with the new videos!

This silver color is good. But that tiger eye pearl, apex blue and performance red colors those are stunning. Usually this class tends to have pretty common colors. Basic colors at that like. Im glad acura knows that the automotive world is made of black, white and grey. The funny part is, brands have different types of black that make u pay extra for 😂.

This is Acura's best, most competitive product. They actually put in the work here.

I loved your reviews because you don’t only test the vehicles but disclosed the prices which is a helpful tool know.

Another blooper for a nice Saturday video. Drew, I love your laugh man! You crack me up 😂😄😃

Amazing comprehensive review. Thanks guys.

Also meant to say I'm really liking the new style of video and the thoroughness of your reviews.

The competition is aggressively competitive these days HOWEVER Acura has always held its own with the MDX and has never wavered from its success. Many other automakers (especially domestic) should take notes

I just bought my MDX, Type S Advance in Liquid Carbon Metallic and I love it! I would have to spend an extra 20k to 30k if I wanted a German equivalent with all the options.

Saw one at dusk in tiger eye pearl a few days ago looking so incredibly sharp. If I wasn’t grabbing a GV70 Sport, I’d seriously consider one of those. - Dope review as always.

I just bought this exact model, same black trim and all. Excellent choice for any small family. Luxury and functionality!

Seem to need to buy the pricier optional "advanced" package in order to get some basics such as heated steering wheel and 360 camera... On a luxury vehicle I'd think those would be standard. My 2015 Murano SL has a heated steering wheel and 360 view type camera!

Nice review keep up the good work fellas

I wonder why these manufacturers can’t hide the rear wiper on top? GM does with the Tahoes & Yukons.

Love the elevation of the reviews, brothers! I love the overall design of the MDX. It seems to be just the right size and is great, proportionally. The ELS sound system is just perfection in audio crispness, clarity, and quality. Its shameful that most people have no clue that it is really one of the top offerings in the entire industry, mostly due to it not having the nomenclature of Burmester, Bowers & Wilkins, or Naim. The ELS system is also Acura's secret sauce in providing a library-hushed interior due to the superior noise-cancellation. As much as I love the Acura, for $73K, they should've went a bit further. The biggest demerit for me is the power. A base B58-equipped X5 will smoke this thing, as will a base GLE 450. I bring those up because Acura says it benchmarked "entry level German" luxury offerings. Yes, the Acura does offer more standard features, and certainly better equipped at $73K versus the Germans, but it is no longer a "value" option. One other major gripe is the fuel economy. For a small 3.0T, having 10 gears, and only weighing about 4500 pounds, 17/21/19 isn't going to cut it, again considering the Germans make similar power but at 6-8MPG more efficient.(reliability questions notwithstanding). To put it into perspective: It makes worse gas mileage than a Lincoln Navigator with 450hp and about the same as a Grand Wagoneer with 510HP(and two fewer gears) and both of those machines are behemoths by comparison. As with the TLX Type-S, it is inexplicably thirsty, despite not being geared aggressively like say...a BMW. I do believe it serves great purpose, but I would wait to get one as a lease return on the used market as a certified model to absorb some of the cost.

Very nice. Powerful and beautiful. But, the new Honda Pilot Trail-sport is a more practical buy costing way less.

IS THERE any difference between the type s 2022 and the 2023 ?

I don't see much of the MDX on the road, as I thought I would. I wonder if it's still the best selling Lux 3 row SUV

Yes I would buy the 2023 Acura MDX Type-S advance

Happy Saturday!

As of now, Acura is the only Japanese brand that is keeping up with the Germans competition.

Ooo i saw that jeep school bus comin in hot on the background.

Super awesome beautiful suv...I'm getting new Integra and might trade in my rdx a spec for one of these.

13:09 Was it because of the foot thing?

TYPE S - anyone know if the seats are similar to Advance? I mean the shape and design of the seats - -is it the same, or does S have more bolstering, etc.

Great review!

*help!* anybody. I test drove (2) S-TYPES about an hour ago. Loved them. However I felt there was some wind noise from the left side - maybe drivers or back seat. I drove 2 ....and both had the wind noise. Is this just normal for MDX? Also in fairness, today is a very windy day I see large trees swaying right now..... appreciate anyone giving an opinion

Is the acura ELS audio system better than the lexus mark Levinson audio?

Can you guys do a sound test on the Pilot Elite on your "normal" road. For comparison to other SUV.

This car must ride like a boss in the highway.

Currently thinking about trading in my 21 Sonic gray accord Touring for this. I need to go test drive this mdx. I’m not feeling the price tag though that’s kinda high for 355 horses.

I'd take this over the X5-40i or GLE 350. You simply get more car, more feature, lower operating costs and of course better reliability.

2023 Acura MDX Type-S Advance SH-AWD!

is there anyway to find out if there are any changes or additions to the 2024 year for the type s advanced ? even a small change would be nice to find out

On today’s episode of Car Confections, Mason attempts to get a video demonetized lol

my Mercedes Gl 2014 which has V8 engine has a fuel economy 17/21 same like this MDX. it is larger , third row can take adults comfortably. it has 120,000 miles on it now, sill reliable no issues. I love the new technologies in the Acura. Even though I am biased to Hondas . but I feel the gas consumption is the worse thing, that will make me don't want to buy. they need a hybrid or sport hybrid to get more power but good gas consumption , 30-35mpg Hwy . second thing need a touch screen to assist with the touch pad. third they need a stick shifter, car feels more solid and sporty. Honda needs to work on that, they need to know their sales are down because of the competition : Tesla Model X and Model Y. amazing MPGe. I think a lot of Honda or Acura buyers have moved to Tesla.

😂 Acura sure was something special back in the days all teens wanted a Acura integra or the tl type s etc now a days I just don’t see a young crowd asking for a damm SUV 😂😂😂

I hope Acura will implement touch screens soon.

Also a sport + mode

I love this ride it's the bam 😍

They were so underwhelmed when he stepped on it for the acceleration test lol

$74K for only 3 smiles? No thanks.

It’s very nice! I like it

I wish that it had a touchscreen.

I much prefer the luxurious interior of the Infiniti QX60 Autograph but the exterior of the Acura MDX. They need to combine the two.

Awesome car!

This is the only vehicle I must afford guys.

Nice SUV but these prices are excessive.

Acura really blew it with the MDX. So much potential, and they go with 50 square miles of piano black and that terrible touch pad.

13:04 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So anything change from your first review? Sound test you weren't in comfort

The exhaust note is embarrassing lol, but good vehicle other wise…they really gotta get rid of that tough pad and do a rotary nob like bmw and Mazda

The new MDX Type-S is the fastest Fluttershy hauler!

You guys are hilarious, the Type S only registering 3 on the smile-meter, which is identical to the standard MDX. Come on - it’s more like a 4.5

Not spice enough under power.

Unless it has a touch screen no way I would even consider buying or leasing this vehicle...

What’s New for 2023?

I would go for a lighter interior

I am just here for the exhaust sound, and its pretty boring. But a great SUV, perfect combination of luxury and reliability, they really didn't need a type S, but if you want to spend 25k more, jump right in.

You guys are going to have to help me with the word “bujie” or whatever how you spell it. I have a ‘23 MDX Type S Adv and I’m not seeing anything “bujie”, but what the hell does that mean? It’s funny every time I hear it.

So much black plastic in the interior I thought it was a cadillac

too much piano black. there has to be a way to make it look good without all these piano black!

Is a shame this only go 111 mph top speed cost 75000$ The x5 cost the same and do 130, honda accord or civic do better on top speed and cost lest , I pay for luxury and I got nothing. Thas w. Some many people swapped for oder car

20k more than a 23 pilot elite. Not worth it.

Not good exhaust.. shameful

Trash 🚮 horsepower should be more

Overpriced for Honda. Looking dated already and no touchscreen.

Way overpriced and BMW X5 and Porsche driver better and nicer for a bit more. Might as well go BMW X5 or Porsche.

I heard that their transmission issues on the type S jerks alot and downshift. Honda quality is not the same as they used to be.
