The biggest difference between the 2022
Acura MDX
and the 2021 MDX is that the 2022 MDX exists and 2021 doesn’t. That’s right, Acura took a year off from making the MDX, so the next closest comparison is the 2020 version.
The Acura luxury SUV has been redesigned for the 2022 model year, and there are a number of differences. Here’s a glimpse of what to expect from the 2022 MDX compared with the 2020 version:
  • 10-speed automatic transmission instead of 9-speed
  • poorer fuel economy
  • same engine
  • more futuristic exterior design
  • 255mm tires instead of 245mm tires
  • Larger paddle shifters
  • Digital gauge readout instead of analog gauges
  • Mousepad-controlled infotainment system instead of touchscreen
  • Drive mode is controlled by a dial rather than a button
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Panoramic sunroof instead of a traditional sunroof
Acura has put a lot into remaking the MDX, and its sharper, more futuristic look will get enthusiasts all riled up.
