I like the improvements, but why would Acura keep the piano black on the dash and upper console? They have nice wood accents around the door handle I would have preferred that over the shiny black trim.

[@hellkitty1014]

Yes, the open pore wood that Acura has used previously would be so nice in the cabin. The piano black plastic just cheapens an otherwise nice interior.

not to mention there are some truly unique epoxy type materials that could have been used that are both durable and matte finished. Piano black is one of the worst car trends - ever.

Thank you for including the vertical dimensions for loading the hatch. It's amazing how a vehicle of this size won't be able to haul a pinball machine with only 29" of loading height yet the Honda Fit hauls machines without breaking a sweat. The front wheel setup is amazing but the lack of big brakes at the rear is a disappointing cost saving measure. Love the blue interior.

I have the previous Gen 19 MDX Sport Hybrid powertrain with the 321hp and +26 mpg always. Going to skip the 4th Gen MDX because of no Sport Hybrid option.

[@FirstHillSeattle]

Yes, in this day and age with car tech the way it is there is always going to be a less expensive corollary to the luxury model. Take the VW Atlas to the Audi Q7, or the RAV4 to the Lexus NX, etc. But there is a reason why the luxury versions of cars sell, and it’s to a different consumer. If you care about things like open pore wood, premium sound systems, higher quality leather, and more dramatic styling, then the luxury version will be for you. But if you are someone that doesn’t care about those things, you would be crazy to pay the premium.

[@hellkitty1014]

Well...there is the SH-AWD, air suspension, turbo V6, better sound system, and better dealer experience. But you're right, for families, the Pilot is a better option.

[@FirstHillSeattle]

@@hellkitty1014 It’s funny that you mention dealer experience. I am on my third Acura so clearly I like the products, but I find the dealers to be maddening. The salespeople know nothing about the product, the service department waiting area is too small and not nearly as comfortable as it should be, and every time I get service they try to charge me, and EVERY time I have to remind them I bought the Acura Care Maintenance package (which is a prepaid program that covers all recommended maintenance). Then they look it up and go “oh you are right”. It’s actually appalling service for a “luxury” brand. Plus, they are unable to order a car in the combination you want. You literally have to wait until they get one in, and they can’t tell you when that is. It just feels like a very cookie cutter experience with little to no personal touch.

It looks good overall but I think the style of the previous wheels go better with the overall package.

The frameless design treatment would've clean things up.

Absolutely loving my 2024 MDX Type S Advance! The improvement can only make it better. One thing I noticed is that the steering wheel looks thicker than mine which is what I requested for Acura to make a change with, and I had no idea that lane change assist would become a thing. Loving the improvements. Great vehicle overall for the price. Offers lots of equipment. Not sure if that bang and olfusen is going to be better than my ELS, and I’ll miss the light up speaker. Note, reason type s doesn’t come with spare tire is because they have self healing tire technology.

You are objectively getting more in the MDX Type S though. Super handling all wheel drive, air suspension, 31 speaker stereo and Brembro brakes just to name a few. None of those items is inexpensive. I agree that this is a lot of money though, and I agree that the Palisade is a good value for the amount of features you get. I the MDX if you are a driving enthusiast, and the Palisade if you need a better third row and want to spend less money.

If you can wait til 5 to 6 yrs u will get the type S for a lot less from $70,000 , yes the mileage will be about high , but this is a Honda suv it is reliable assuming mains parts is followed I have MDX 2007 did major maintenance now it’s up to 240,000miles and still running, but look out for transmission it might gout out around 180,000

[@TheKingkingg]

Nothing was broken, however I understand Honda listen to reviewers more than customers as I have never been questioned as to what changes I want in my Acura or Honda products...example, I love controls in my 2020 2.0T Accord, but adding stupid looking volume nob because of nods reviewers complaining who had no intention of owning the products. Another is rather than touch and track pad which I prefer because I find it better on uneven roads and most occasions, yet again they follow reviewers who are not interested to purchase products only looking to make money to buy other vehicles. What us real customers want is more options and customization options more than red or black or white seats, like how about Grey, 2 brown, more colour stitching, or if I want white exterior and can get orchid interior...and improved technology like Acura used to be at top

[@tracyjohnson8816]

To answer your question: those more concerned about others' perception. I'll take what works as expected... when expected... any day.

[@FunAtDisney]

@@MixedG80 adults sit in the 2nd row as well! As for the 3rd row, why does Acura MDX even have it if they are going to do it half-ass. Don’t defend them. This is a $76K vehicle and will be compared to everything else in that range. They did a nice job on the interior as a whole, but then dropped the ball. I leased two Acuras (TSX) back around 2010. Great cars but I went back to their Honda “cousin” because dollar for dollar the Honda was better equipped. I love the handling of the Acura but you could see Honda was putting more efforts into their main brand back then. Admittedly Pilots still do not have 2nd row ventilated seats even on the top trim while every other 3-row SUV does on their top trims. Money is money and I will go for the tech and features over a racy engine and handling any day, and without paying for premium gas! And even the guys pointed this out!

[@MixedG80]

@@FunAtDisney I can only talk about my preferences and those with similar ones that have family including small kids. Adults will rarely ride in my back seat, and when they do, it likely won't be for any duration that will have them wondering why their seats aren't ventilated. The 3rd row isn't half-ass, it's what's possible without making the vehicle huge (which is precisely why I'm not really considering the new TX or larger vehicles), and will handle my kids (should adults need the 2nd row) or their little friends comfortably if I need to haul some around. If we really want to point out feature disparities, where are the [good] massaging seats in competing $76k models? Just me, but that was money much better spent (that will be used regularly) vs. cooling 2nd row seats. There will always be feature trade-offs, even when one spends in the stratosphere, but as it stands what Acura chose to invest in appeals best to what I'm looking for. Now to your point, why they changed the already outstanding ELS system is a mystery; that money could have gone towards ventilated 2nd row seats or any number of other tweaks, which is the real opportunity missed IMHO.

[@hellkitty1014]

I really appreciate the update of the MDX, mostly the infotainment updates. The blue interior looks great(but cmon Acura, thats waayyy too much black piano plastic fantastic to considered in the luxury class). The major elephant in the room for the Acura: The BMW X5 exists for the same money and is standard with B58 power. It probably has better lease terms as well. And has a better interior.

[@FirstHillSeattle]

I think the BMW is a different buyer. For one, it no longer offers a third row. For me personally, a BMW is a car you lease, and an Acura is a car you purchase and keep for a longer time. Maintenance on European cars will start to drain your bank account after about 5 years. Also, the MDX is quite a bit less expensive if you compare apples to apples. To get all of the features on the MDX Type S on an X5 it would much more expensive. I can afford the Type S, I will probably keep it 8 or 9 years and I like knowing I am getting the top model with all of the goodies. But another buyer might say that the BMW nameplate and performance is more important to them, and are willing to settle for less options. Two different approaches.

What kind of off-road can we talk about when this car now has such a huge front overhang and the turbine radiators and something else are located so low? I also dare to assure you that with such open radiator grilles you will be tired of washing them! And if you do not wash them, then after a certain time, not immediately, the engine will start to overheat, well, and then you yourself understand .... I would also like to note another "saving" from Honda - these are the rear turn signals - you could have made them even smaller! 🤦‍♂️ Why couldn't they put double LEDs in that long strip at the bottom, where the side lights are, like Audi does? This car already costs as much as a European premium class, but Honda is still thinking about how and where to save money!

[@ambassador8716]

The seats have a massage function, but the lower cushion does not extend, it is quite lumpy, so your knees hanging in the air will quickly get tired if you drive a long distance. The gearbox button block is now practically on the dashboard, like in a minibus, which is very far. The gearbox control should be at hand, like on the 2016 model, instead there is a huge platform for the phone and some other incomprehensible niche for small items! 🤦‍♂️ For the same reason, this model has now lost the huge and, admittedly, very convenient box between the seats - instead of it there is some kind of cut-down box, to open it, you need to twist your right hand. And the bag now does not fit in there. I do not understand why they redo something that was good? Honda fired the person who was responsible for ergonomics? They should have improved the suspension, brakes, and build quality - the gaps between the body parts are so crooked that it looks like it was assembled by 3 drunk Mexicans after a serious accident!

Well they nixed the track pad but kept that lame gear selector

My dreams card

[@johnnymauler]

75Gs and no rear ventilated seats...bummer

[@ognqski]

Way too cramped 2nd row. Depreciates like a rock.

[@royrussinger2104]

$76,900 a lot of money for a boatload of piano black.

[@anthonyconerly3420]

I really like this SUV. But not enough to drop $75K!

[@beeslandscaping]

Still no hybrid come on Acura

[@tmyere.]

I liked this vehicle until he said no 3rd row air vents

[@calkyyu]

3rd row have air vents, they're under the 2nd row seats

[@kws4733]

This model or the new GX550 Premium +? and why?

[@Blackandwhitecat-u9v]

This

[@troytruong8246]

Big mistake. No hybrid? We. Need hybrid!

[@GGData]

Looks espectacular 😳

[@krackmo]

Listen guys if auto manufacturers are going to add 3rd row, it shd accommodate adults

[@michaelmi7903]

That's why I purchased a Lexus TX and didn't even consider an MDX. I needed a usable third row.

[@AlaskanSnowLeopard]

Minivan is the best way to go if you want really good 3rd row seating for adults. Even in a Chevy Tahoe, I don't like to sit in the 3rd row for longer trips. A Lexus TX 3rd row will be better than the Acura MDX 3rd row, but they both are still not very good for long trips for most adults.

Finally, a touchscreen!!! Touchpads and dials are lame. Lexus and Acura have surrendered. Mazda is the last hold out! 😆🤣

Acura needs hybrids so bad

[@MarcCunningham86]

Incredibly disappointed. I’m a 2023 Honda Pilot Touring owner, this is a downgrade with no 3rd row ventilation on the third row. That’s not even safe for your kids rating here in Texas; that’s a saving grace for my kiddos, although I wish the vents were ceiling mounted in our 2023 Pilot. For this price second row seat ventilation should be standard. I honestly don’t know who this car is for. As cool as the Acura styling has gotten, I wouldn’t recommend for parents of 3 kids.

The MDX is such a weird car to me. The new one(base model) looks really nice and modern to me but for some reason there's also a huge soccer mom vibe about it despite how large and tanky it looks. I can appreciate the car when I see someone drive it because again its a slick looking car but I don't ever see myself owning one because of how large and slow the car is. In fact I exclusively avoid very large or heavy cars(anything over 3000lbs) now ever since I got to drive a decently light vehicle.
